The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, or RICS, is the world’s leading professional body dedicated to the economics and management of land, property, construction and related environmental issues. This means any advice they given by their members will be of the highest professional standard. Members are bound by a strict code of conduct that regulates how they deal with you and your money.

Yes. We are required to maintain Professional Indemnity Insurance for all our work as a condition of being a member of the RICS. This is controlled and monitored by the Institution. Having a formal complaints procedure is also a requirement of the RICS. A copy of this can be supplied on request.

Yes, we can provide accurate site areas which can aid when purchasing land. We can also accurately set out the areas if disputed or if land titles are divided. If you require the volume of material measured we can provide it, we undertake many stockpile surveys and have extensive experience on landfill sites.

The amount of detail included in a measured building survey depends on your requirements, and may vary for the purposes of design, planning or feasibility. The structural elements including walls, columns and beams, being the most important, are shown on the floor plans, elevations and sections. All features such as doors, windows, services fittings are then added with floor levels, heights and descriptive text to give a clear representation.

We are accredited through SMAS who are a registered member scheme of SSIP.

We are verified by RISQS (Railway Industry Supplier Qualification Scheme) and our staff hold PTS (AC/DC) qualifications.

The instrument sends out thousands of beams of light per second to scan a structure with many fixed measured points forming what looks like a low resolution digital photograph, but is in fact a three dimensional model made up of lots of points in a grid pattern; with each point being a fixed and measured point having both position and distance ie a 3D point; the resulting image therefore looks like a low resolution photograph, but is in fact what is known widely throughout the laser scanning industry as a pointcloud.

We update many plans we have previously surveyed, even plans that were not originally surveyed by us. New boundaries, new levels, new roads etc potentially mean new surveys being required. Please feel free to get in contact with us so we can advise further.
