Building Surveys
Signal Surveyors love buildings.
We see so many different shapes and sizes: from the brand new, to the ancient, from the small to the huge, with every type of use. Every building has a story to tell, and not always a happy one.
The first part of any Building Survey is to determine the purpose, and this requires an open conversation with the Client. By taking a concise Client brief, we can determine what equipment is required for the survey (Drone, subsurface damp meter, high level access camera and/or Thermal imaging camera etc). Furthermore, the written report can then be tailored to address the key Client requirements (avoiding lots of waffle and caveats).
-
Signal undertake Building Surveys for any purpose: pre-acquisition, post-acquisition, defect analysis (ie water leaks and damp), energy efficiency, future maintenance costs (PPM) and build quality.
-
Signal Surveyors will undertake a detailed visual inspection of any property to provide a tailored analysis of; the state of repair, cause of disrepair, liability for the repairs, the specification of the repairs required and the budget cost of remedial work.
-
Signal are qualified to use our own in-house drone and Thermal Imaging systems for detailed investigation.
-
Signal Surveyors can undertake Expert Witness surveys and provide reports as part of a litigation (residential and commercial).
-
A thorough Building Survey will repay the modest initial outlay many times and put the Client in the best possible position to make tactical and strategic business decisions.
The exact requirements for each survey are agreed with the Client at the time of appointment. We almost always work on a fixed fee, and generally can be very responsive from time of instruction to a completed report.
