Advice and survey work can also be undertaken on new build properties usually in the form of a snagging list for the buyer to provide to the builder or developer prior to exchange of contracts or prior to completion.
Building Surveys are also undertaken on both residential and commercial properties. Building Surveys involve detailed reports on the condition of the building covering the structural element. Whilst some basic advice will be provided in respect of services, detailed tests of services can be arranged via independent contractors in addition to the Building Survey service.
Building survey advice is also available in relation to specific defects where there is no requirement for a full inspection covering a whole property. Consequently where a prospective buyer or existing homeowner is concerned about one particular aspect of their building then specific defect advice can be provided.
Building Surveys are also carried out on retail, office and industrial property for both existing owners or occupiers or prospective purchasers or prospective tenants. For owners or prospective buyers, detailed advice can be given on the structural condition of the buildings directed to specific concerns whether it be an existing occupier or prospective purchaser.
