Our Building Surveying team is a national resource which provides bespoke advice on a range of cross-sector property related matters.

We offer a range of ‘typical’ building surveying services, including mass asset/data collection condition surveys, lifecycle modelling, defects investigations, feasibility studies, six-facet audits, NEC3 Supervisor services, design, specification and contract administration services, project monitoring, reinstatement cost assessments and building surveying project management services. We have particularly strong schools, healthcare, and logistics experience across these services gained across both public and private sectors.

In addition, we provide the following specialist building surveying services:

Boundary and Party Wall Advice

From congested sites and subterranean development, to disputed boundaries and challenging access arrangements, our team has exemplary delivery and expert legislative knowledge. We can advise on and mitigate party wall and access issues, as well as agree crane and scaffold access agreements and administer the party wall procedures.

Condition Surveys

In addition to individual instructions, AECOM specialise in large scale estate condition data collection for both public and private sector estates. In recent years we have surveyed over 5,500 schools across England, multiple University estates, PFI estates, and large national estates for a number of corporate owners.

Dilapidations

We support clients with pre-lease, mid-lease and post-lease strategic dilapidations advice, including portfolio dilapidations management. We help clients to understand their lease obligations and to manage their leasehold property acquisitions, disposals and portfolios effectively and from a position of strategic advantage. We prepare, defend and negotiate dilapidations claims on clients’ behalf to secure the best outcomes.

Project Delivery Services

AECOM’s building surveying team can take projects from brief through to completion including design, procurement and on-site delivery. Each of these services can be provided in isolation such as Clerk of Works or as a complete end to end delivery service.

Technical Due Diligence

The quality of our technical due diligence services is unparalleled across our industry due to the strength and diversity of technical expertise we can draw from across AECOM to support our clients’ mergers or acquisitions. Each instruction is unique, and we tailor our service to fit each client’s need.
