About Inform Surveying Limited

Challenging Norms with First Principles Thinking

We founded INFORM Surveying on a simple belief: a consultancy should be as open and transparent with its clients as it is with its own team. We aren't here to just hand you a list of defects. We are solution providers.

Whether you are navigating a complex acquisition or managing a large-scale construction project, we provide the clarity, precision, and actionable data you need to move forward. We pride ourselves on delivering exceptional service—not just identifying problems, but providing clear, actionable solutions with precise costs and timelines.

Led by Decades of "Big Firm" Experience

Our leadership team isn't just experienced; we are hands-on. Most of our directors—Gavin Sampson, Steven Taylor, Martin Dalley, Ben Hudson, and Jon Gobie—honed their skills at leading international property consultants like CBRE before coming together to build something more personal and agile.

Why Property Professionals Choose Us

We don't believe in "off-the-shelf" advice. We use first-principles thinking to tailor our approach to your specific commercial or residential needs.

  • Actionable Solutions: We provide precise costs and timelines, not just vague observations.
  • Technical Depth: From Ben’s specialist dilapidations expertise to Jon’s expert witness training for courtroom instructions, we cover the full lifecycle of a building.
  • Industry Leadership: Steven Taylor serves as a chairperson for the RICS APC assessment process, ensuring we stay at the forefront of industry standards and nurture the next generation of talent.

A Commitment to Today and Tomorrow

We are deeply rooted in our community and committed to the future of the built environment. This means more than just great surveying; it means a dedicated path toward net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

"Our mission is to influence the future of the built environment with expert insights, quality solutions, and targeted project management."

We apply the same rigor to our environmental impact as we do to our technical due diligence, ensuring that the advice we give you today remains relevant and sustainable for tomorrow.
