Alan Dickinson is an independent Chartered Building Surveyor offering various levels of surveys according to the type of building and Client’s requirements.

 

Level 3 Building Survey

This is a full detailed inspection and report on the condition of a building of any age. It will describe the construction and the sequence of development. It provides advice on repairs required and any future maintenance. The report will be tailored to the Client’s specific requirements to address any particular concern or the practicality of a Client’s intended alteration or extension. The reports are illustrated by photographs, both general views and specific defects, often from locations inaccessible to the Client without ladder access. The report concludes with a list of recommended repairs with budget estimate.

 

The Practice can arrange for specialist reports, e.g. electrical, heating or drainage or the Surveyor may recommend these in the report.
