Condition Surveys

A condition survey gives visibility of future maintenance commitments that are likely to arise, so you can plan work with fewer surprises.

Planning with a clear record

When a condition survey is useful

A condition survey records the current state of a building so owners, investors, occupiers and design teams can plan maintenance and work with fewer surprises. It is often commissioned before a refurbishment, when a lease changes, or when a listed building or a building in a conservation area needs a clear, dated record.

We capture the fabric with laser scanning, so the record is measured, not just photographed. That sits alongside our laser scanning, measured building, 360 virtual tour and geomatic structural survey services, depending on whether you also need drawings, a walk-through or a closer look at the structure.

Work is delivered across the Midlands and the UK, including Derby, Nottingham, Leicester, Birmingham, London, Manchester, Leeds and Sheffield. If you have a property to record, request a proposal.

Frequently asked questions

What do I receive?

A clear record of the building’s condition based on scanned data, which you can use for maintenance planning and as a baseline before work starts. The exact deliverables are agreed in the proposal, and may sit alongside drawings or a 360 tour where those are needed.

Can you survey listed buildings?

Yes. Laser scanning is well suited to listed buildings and properties in conservation areas, because it records detail without unnecessary contact with the fabric.

Is this the same as a structural survey?

No. A condition survey records the state of the building. If you need the structure itself measured and inspected in more detail, see our geomatic structural surveys.

Where do you work?

Across the Midlands and the UK. Start with the city page that is closest to your site: Derby, Nottingham, Leicester, Birmingham, London, Manchester, Leeds and Sheffield.

What is Condition Surveying?

Understanding the condition of a property is fundamental for all property owners in order for them to adequately maintain the building condition and plan future maintenance to keep the property functioning.

People with an interest in the condition of a property may range from an individual with an interest in a single property to owners/investors of property portfolios or occupiers with an interest in maintaining the property in accordance with their lease. All will require a detailed assessment of the property assets condition to inform future spending and investment.

Protecting history with proven technology

Laser scanning is now an established, proven method of condition reporting for conservation areas and listed buildings. Organisations such as English Heritage and Historic Scotland in the UK have already embraced the technology and will continue to utilise it whenever possible.

Listed Building

Listed buildings require regular checks of their condition to ensure they don't fall into disrepair. We can help by using our laser scanners and 360 Cameras to ensure you have a regular record.

Conservation Area

We understand the importance of records of land and buildings within conservation areas. We can either use modern Drone Surveys or traditional Theodolite surveys and anything in between to capture the record you need.
