Building Surveying

A professional building survey is essential for understanding a property’s true condition, safeguarding against hidden defects and unexpected costs. Our RICS-accredited surveyors assess structural integrity, identify potential risks, and provide expert recommendations—whether inspecting a period property with heritage features, a modern development, or a commercial conversion. From uncovering subsidence risks and damp issues to evaluating roof conditions and material deterioration, a thorough survey ensures informed decision-making for buyers, owners, and developers.

Beyond defect detection, the report offers prioritised repair advice, cost estimates, and compliance checks, helping you negotiate purchases, plan renovations, or secure appropriate insurance. In an ever-changing property landscape, a building survey provides the clarity and confidence needed to protect your investment—before problems escalate.

Monitoring Surveys

In a region shaped by mining legacy, clay soils, and evolving urban developments, monitoring surveys provide essential oversight for structural and environmental changes over time. Our specialists track subsidence in ex-colliery towns like Kirkby-in-Ashfield, crack movement in Nottingham’s Victorian terraces, and ground stability for large-scale projects like the HS2 corridor using automated prisms, tilt sensors, and 3D laser scanning. Whether safeguarding heritage buildings in Lincoln or assessing slope stability in Derbyshire’s Peak District, these surveys offer early warnings of potential risks—critical in an area where geological conditions and climate pressures demand proactive management.

"Catching millimetres of movement today to prevent metres of trouble tomorrow."

Utility Survey

Beneath the East Midlands’ streets and fields lies a hidden maze of gas pipes, fibre optics, and Victorian-era sewers—each posing risks for developers and homeowners alike. Our utility surveys use ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and electromagnetic locators to map subterranean networks with surgical precision, whether uncovering disused mine shafts in Chesterfield or avoiding Nottingham’s complex district heating system. For rural projects in Leicestershire’s farmlands or urban digs in Derby’s Cathedral Quarter, we pinpoint conflicts before they become costly mishaps—because hitting a 1800s brick culvert shouldn’t be your first clue about what lies below.

"X-ray vision for the underground—because Nottinghamshire’s history doesn’t stop at street level."

Topographic Surveying

A topographic survey provides an accurate 3D representation of any site, capturing every natural and man-made feature - from contours and vegetation to buildings, drainage systems and underground structures. Using advanced GPS technology, laser scanning and drone photogrammetry, we map sites to millimetre-level accuracy, revealing critical details like hidden elevation changes, drainage patterns and potential access issues. These surveys are indispensable for planning applications, flood risk assessments, infrastructure projects and land development, transforming raw terrain into actionable data that architects, engineers and developers rely on.

As-Built Surveys

An as-built survey documents the final constructed state of a project, confirming whether the completed work matches the original design intent. Using high-precision laser scanners, total stations, and BIM-compatible software, we capture every detail – from structural elements and utility placements to minute dimensional variances. These surveys are critical for:

  • Handover documentation and compliance verification

  • Facility management and future renovation planning

  • Resolving construction disputes by providing irrefutable records

  • Updating asset registers with exact spatial data

Particularly valuable for complex builds like industrial plants, infrastructure projects, and commercial developments, as-built surveys create a digital twin of the finished asset. This becomes the gold standard reference for all future modifications or maintenance.
