Building Surveying Services

Technical due diligence is the assessment of the physical and legal condition of a building as part of an acquisition, disposal, or funding process. It goes beyond a standard condition survey to evaluate structural integrity, service systems, planning compliance, and potential capital expenditure requirements, providing investors and funders with a comprehensive risk profile.

A Planned Preventative Maintenance schedule is a forward-looking report that identifies and costs anticipated repair and replacement works over a defined period — typically 5, 10, or 25 years. PPM schedules help asset managers and building owners budget for capital works and prioritise maintenance to maximise the value and performance of their property portfolio.

Defect diagnosis involves investigating a specific building defect — such as cracking, water ingress, damp, or structural movement — to determine its cause and recommend appropriate remediation. Core Compliance provides clear, practical reports that explain the defect and set out the options for effective repair.

Drone surveys provide high-resolution aerial imagery and data for hard-to-access areas of buildings and structures, such as roofs, parapets, facades, and chimneys. They are a safe, cost-effective alternative to scaffolding or cherry pickers for routine condition assessments, and the imagery can be used in reports and for monitoring change over time.

A measured survey produces accurate, scaled drawings of a building or site using precision measurement equipment, including laser scanning technology. The resulting floor plans, elevations, and sections are used by architects, designers, and planners as the basis for refurbishment or extension projects, planning applications, and facilities management.
