M&E Maintenance Audit
Our audit service is comprehensive and covers the full spectrum of statutory compliance checks, documentation review of contractor log books, non intrusive inspections of assets under the contract agreement. This is with the aim of assessing the contractor’s performance in accordance with the specification and industry best practise, identifying any technical defects, deficiencies or PPM shortfalls that require addressing. We have developed an audit app which allows our consultants to undertake audits and report their findings.

Due Diligence - Acquisition Surveys
The process of acquiring commercial property is complex and can potentially carry a high level of risk. We understand the issues affecting the decision to buy or sell properties and as a result our technical advice is given in a commercial context. We undertake full mechanical, electrical, lift and escalator due diligence surveys which will advise on the condition of plant and equipment, longevity and lifecycle projections, repair requirements, refurbishment costs and proposals.
Our survey report also provides robust planned maintenance programmes, to ensure precise expenditure planning and capital management; vital for well-informed investment. Our due diligence team has considerable experience and expertise in producing survey reports on which the vendor/purchaser may legally rely.
Pre Acquisition Surveys
We provide information and advice essential to the decision-making process for prospective purchasers relating to a building’s condition. In addition all risks and liabilities will be identified in our report for the client’s consideration. For investors, pre-acquisition surveys are integral to the due diligence process.
Recognising the increasing complexity of building services we also offer a comprehensive range of specialist M&E services. In addition, many of our clients choose to ‘bolt-on’ additional services, such as planned maintenance schedules, condition records, building audits and reinstatement cost assessments which can be carried out in tandem with the survey.
