RICS Level 3 Survey – Building Survey

Our most comprehensive survey. Suited to older, listed, run-down, or uniquely constructed properties. Covers concealed areas, non-invasive structural inspection, cause analysis, and repair cost estimation(rics.org).

Specialist Inspections & Fabric Surveys

Perfect for refurbishments and detailed assessments:
