Residential Building Surveying Services

Expert residential chartered building surveying services

Pre-Purchase Surveys

Ensure your prospective home is in suitable condition with our comprehensive pre-purchase surveys. We provide detailed reports highlighting any defects or potential issues, giving you peace of mind before you buy. We can also include costs estimates so you can make informed decisions.

Snag Inspections

Our snag inspection service ensures your new build or refurbishment project meets the highest standards. We identify any incomplete or defective work, helping you ensure the works are completed to the agreed standard.

Planning Applications and Design

Navigating the planning application process can be daunting. Our experienced team can manage your planning applications, ensuring all requirements are met so that you are best placed to achieve a successful outcome. We can prepare applications for new builds, extensions, conversions and retention. We can also design and write specifications for tendering works to builders.

Insurance Valuations

Ensure your home including outbuildings are adequately insured with our rebuilding cost valuations. We provide precise estimates to help you get the right coverage. If not properly assessed there is a risk your property may be under insured which may result in you not being suitably covered should a claim arise. We can carry out this review remotely or via an on site survey for more complex homes such as protected structures.

Defect Inspections

If your home is showing signs of damage or wear, our defect inspections can identify the cause and recommend practical solutions. From damp issues to structural concerns, we cover it all.

Land Registry Compliant Mapping

We provide accurate and compliant mapping services for land registry purposes. Maps are prepared in accordance with PRA Mapping requirements to ensure acceptance for Land Registration purposes.

Certificates of Compliance

We can assess residential property for compliance with both planning and building regulations and provide certificates of compliance. Certificates confirming works to your home are exempt from the regulations may also be provided. We can also assist with planning permission observations and objections.

Health and Safety Services

We can assist to ensure you meet the responsibilities for homeowners under Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (Construction) Regulations. This includes checking the competency of builders you are considering to do work on your home and we can carry our the role of Project Supervisor Construction Stage (PSDP). We can ensure you provide required notifications to the Health and Safety Authority. We prepare both the Preliminary Stage Safety and Health Plan before works and a Safety File on completion of the works. This includes important information for ongoing maintenance and future works.
