What is Building Surveying ?

Building surveying involves assessing the condition, construction and performance of buildings, identifying defects and advising on appropriate maintenance, repair and improvement works.

At Iceni Consultants, we provide practical building surveying advice to help property owners understand the condition of their buildings, identify potential problems and make informed decisions about necessary works.

Our building surveying services can include:

  • Building condition surveys and assessments.

  • Preparation of specifications for repair and refurbishment works.

  • Planned maintenance advice and recommendations.

  • Inspection and monitoring of remedial works.

  • Technical advice on building alterations and improvements.

We aim to provide clear, proportionate recommendations that consider the condition of the property, the client's objectives and the practical implications of any proposed works.

Our Process

Our approach to building surveying is practical, thorough and tailored to the requirements of each property and client.

1. Initial Consultation

We discuss your concerns, the property's history and the purpose of the survey or investigation to establish the scope of our appointment.

2. Inspection & Assessment

We undertake a visual inspection of the relevant areas, assessing the building's condition and identifying visible defects, deterioration or potential maintenance issues.

3. Findings & Recommendations

We explain our findings clearly, identify where further investigation may be necessary and provide practical recommendations for repair, maintenance or improvement.

4. Specification & Remedial Works

Where required, we can assist with preparing specifications, obtaining contractor quotations and coordinating appropriate repair or refurbishment works.

5. Monitoring & Completion

Where appointed, we monitor the progress and quality of remedial works, review outstanding issues and assist with the completion process.
