Our tailored approach ensures we meet sector-specific needs, delivering exceptional results to enhance clients’ real estate portfolios. Discover how we can support your projects.

Office

Realising the true potential of our clients’ real estate portfolio requires technical expertise, an understanding of how to create value and in-depth knowledge of our clients’ markets.

As experts, we know the commercial market and its nuances to a detailed level which means we can make intuitive decisions that make a difference. Our experience is in all types of commercial accommodation from refurbishments to Cat A+ fit-outs.

Whether institutional fund, land owner or owner occupier, our clients choose us to provide the trusted advice needed across all aspects of surveying including Due Diligence, Dilapidations, Development Monitoring and Project Management.

Industrial

The logistics and industrial sector changes with the times and as real-estate experts, we’re helping our clients to adapt with that change – from ‘last post’ facilities to transforming out of town locations.

We advise investors, landlords and tenants to get the best result from their new ventures – whether securing an anchor tenant or remodelling their estates. Our clients are looking for experienced surveyors that can help improve the value of their property portfolios, prepare for anchor tenants and ensure a seamless exit through well managed dilapidations programmes.

We’re known for our high-performance dilapidations’ settlements. We are experts in construction delivery programmes and we take a hands-on responsive and tenacious approach so that landlord and tenant can reach a mutual agreement.

Retail

We're recognised for working with global funds and investors, property managers, propcos and corporate occupiers across the length and breadth of the sector – in city centre and urban locations in the UK and Europe.

Our clients choose us for our deep understanding of sector challenges and trusted advice in chartered surveying, including feasibility studies, contract administration, dilapidations, technical due diligence, condition surveys, and project management.

We excel in planned maintenance for prime retail developments like One New Change and the Argent scheme at Kings Cross. Major contracts include Lewisham Shopping Centre and significant refurbishments in inner city locations for clients like AXA, Landsec, and Royal London.

Data Centres

We’re expert surveyors and project managers for the data centre sector, having delivered the first BREAAM ‘excellent’ 80MW scheme in the UK.

Working with the sector’s leading operators, institutional funds and developers, we guide our clients on everything from acquisition of land and identifying optimum locations to securing the critical power needed.

By combining our knowledge of data centre requirements with real estate practices and legislation, we can help to reduce risk by deploying effective construction phasing models and life-cycle modelling. We are experts in leading diverse teams of specialist consultants using the latest industry technology – from BIM 360 to gaming solutions.

Hotel & Leisure

We support our hotel and leisure clients by enabling them to realise their vision – whether creating new state-of-the-art hotel accommodation, refurbishment and fit-out or managing long-term maintenance programmes.

For hotels, our chartered surveyors collaborate with global investors, developers, and operators across the UK and Europe, delivering prestigious projects like the St Regis Hotel in Rome and Le Meridian Etoile in Paris. In leisure, our diverse projects include the oldest giraffe house at London Zoo. We handle heritage, grade-listed, and modern facilities, providing technical due diligence, development monitoring, and 10-year maintenance programs, ensuring our clients’ investments are future-proof.

Transport

We work with public bodies like Transport for London (TfL) and the corporate occupiers operating from facilities such as car dealerships.

The transport sector’s constant evolution involves our expertise in contract administration, project management, dilapidations, condition surveys, planned maintenance, and development monitoring. We handle diverse buildings, from Grade II listed sites to modern car showrooms. Our recent projects include renovating Victoria Arcade for TfL and refurbishing High Street Kensington station and Parsons Green Depot. Our trusted advice ensures success for landlords and tenants alike.

Healthcare

Our healthcare expertise began with The Royal Hospital Chelsea, a Grade I listed retirement and nursing home for British Army veterans. Healthcare buildings present unique challenges, especially when occupied by patients or residents, requiring careful construction delivery.

Healthcare projects face financial challenges and stakeholder demands, which our surveyors address through planned maintenance programs, condition surveys, and project management of refurbishments. We also provide dilapidations services for healthcare tenants. Our clients include MRHA, Duchy of Cornwall, Cambridge University, Specsavers, and private healthcare building owners.

Residential

We offer building surveying services for residential property owners such as private investors, housing associations and freehold groups.

Our focus includes project management, refurbishment for lettings, statutory works, and due diligence for large freeholds. We work with public authorities, housing associations, property management firms, and private funds, ensuring respect for all stakeholders. Post-Grenfell, fire safety is critical, and we manage cladding replacement schemes and planned maintenance. We offer residential due diligence for commercial clients, including Hastoe Group, Valore Real Estate, LRM, Knight Frank, and Argent.

Education

We have experience working on a broad range of education projects including new build and refurbishment works nationwide, where the key objectives include meeting government and environmental targets.

Our professional services team handles school and university buildings, from new constructions to complex, grade-listed sites. Notable projects include serving as Contract Administrator for a new engineering lab at Newbury College and conducting a pre-acquisition survey for a tower block at Southampton University, ensuring no significant risks before purchase.
