Mechanical and Electrical Condition Surveys

Manage your buildings and assets with certainty.

Our Mechanical & Electrical Condition Surveys provide a strategic approach to managing your building assets in the long term. By assessing their existing condition and forecasting anticipated lifecycle costs, you’ll be able to prioritise your building performance management plan with confidence.

The reporting service on the back of the surveys provides thorough insights to enable you to make well-informed decisions on your maintenance and repairs plan. This includes optimising building performance to drive energy efficiency and ensure a safe, comfortable, cost-efficient environment for occupants. The report can also identify health and safety or statutory compliance issues, as well as recommend improvements in areas not being maintained effectively. 

We’ll help you optimise your buildings and assets performance plan.

  • Identify priority areas for improvements and repairs.

  • Prioritise cost-saving initiatives to lower longer term expenses and carbon offset.

  • Enhance energy efficiency of buildings, assets and infrastructure.

  • Ensure health, safety and comfort for occupants.

Types of survey

Our Condition and Lifecycle Surveys assess the condition of a building’s mechanical and electrical systems, providing insights into their performance and identifying areas for maintenance or upgrades.

The surveys help businesses make informed decisions about investments in their building’s assets and infrastructure; such as HVAC systems, lighting and building automation. The performance of assets are assessed, identifying inefficiencies and deterioration and graded typically A – D with remedial works given a priority rating.

Environmental Validation Testing helps organisations ensure their building is safe and healthy for occupants, testing for pollutants and harmful contaminants. We have the in-house capability to carry out Environmental Condition Validation Testing using calibrated instruments including:

  • Lighting Lux Levels
  • Acoustic Sound Measurements
  • Hot Water Temperature Surface
  • Temperature of pipework, heat emitters and
  • Water Services
  • Ventilation Flow Rates
  • Space Temperature

Our Latent Defect Survey identifies hidden defects that may impact building performance and occupant comfort. These are typically carried out towards the end of the defects liability period on a Building Construction Contract, where clarity on any defects is required before the breach of contract time period runs out so that the building owner or manager can claim economic loss.

A Dilapidation Survey is generally undertaken to assess a building’s condition during a Lease Term or towards the end of a tenancy.

Our Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) Survey helps businesses develop a comprehensive maintenance plan, reducing the risk of equipment failure and prolonging asset lifespan. An asset management strategy will be developed that assists Estates and Facilities Managers to establish the condition of a property and identify any potential future building maintenance requirements usually over a 5 to 10-year period.

Key features and benefits

Comprehensive data and reporting suite

A variety of templates have been developed that include built in Building Cost Information Service (BCIS) codes and drop-down menus that improve the data capture process on site and deliver a consistent and easy-to-understand report, including linked photographs.

Improve energy efficiency, reduce costs, and support budgeting

Planned maintenance and management of your buildings and assets helps to avoid reacting to failures and facing unexpected costs, while identifying health and safety or statutory compliance issues.

Supports heat decarbonisation planning

The surveys can help build the case for heat decarbonisation work by identifying the condition and estimated repair costs of fossil-fuelled heating systems. The data can be used to support public sector organisations in applying for government funding.

Non-half-hourly meter exchanges

New regulation is coming into force which means that every organisation’s electricity will need to be settled on a half-hourly basis. By October 2026 all electricity meters will need to be half-hourly. Don’t get left behind. If your meter is one of the circa 30 million affected by the regulation, it will need to be upgraded.
