Building surveyors focus on assessing the condition of a property, identifying defects, and ensuring buildings meet safety and regulatory standards. Building consultants, however, take a broader approach, offering strategic advice on project management, planning, procurement, and construction compliance. At AMS Surveys, we offer both services, ensuring that our clients receive expert guidance whether they need detailed property inspections or strategic oversight for their construction or renovation projects.

A surveying company provides a range of property assessment and consultancy services, including building surveys, defect analysis, damp and timber reports, structural assessments, and party wall surveys. We work with residential, commercial and heritage clients, offering expert guidance on compliance and investment decisions. Our independent reports help clients identify potential issues before they become costly problems, ensuring that buildings remain safe, functional, and legally compliant.

A damp survey involves a detailed inspection of a property to identify the presence and cause of moisture-related issues, such as rising damp, penetrating damp, or condensation. At AMS Surveys, we carry out a thorough assessment using professional expertise to diagnose the problem accurately and recommend appropriate remedial measures.   You may require a damp survey if you notice signs like mould growth, damp patches, peeling finishes, or musty odours. By identifying the root cause, we help you avoid unnecessary work and ensure the most effective solution is implemented.

An independent damp surveyor provides an unbiased assessment of damp and timber issues in your property without any conflict of interest. Unlike companies that sell damp-proofing treatments, we at AMS Surveys offer impartial advice, ensuring that you receive accurate information without unnecessary repairs being recommended. Our detailed reports help homeowners and businesses make informed decisions about damp management, structural preservation, and property maintenance, avoiding expensive or ineffective treatments.

A Level 3 building survey is the most comprehensive inspection we offer and is designed to provide an in-depth assessment of a property’s condition. We examine the structure, fabric, and overall performance of the building, identifying both visible and potential defects. This survey is particularly suitable for older, larger, or significantly altered properties.   Our reports at AMS Surveys include detailed findings, technical explanations, and practical recommendations for repairs and maintenance, helping you fully understand the property and make well-informed decisions.   Need to arrange a level 3 building survey for a property?

Listed building consent is a legal requirement when you intend to alter, extend, or repair a listed property in a way that affects its historic or architectural significance. At AMS Surveys, we will support you throughout the process by preparing key documentation, such as heritage statements, and liaising with local planning authorities.   It is essential to secure consent before undertaking any works, as unauthorised changes can result in enforcement action. Our expertise in listed building consent ensures that your proposals respect the building’s heritage while meeting all regulatory and planning requirements.

Architectural design involves planning and developing layouts, structures, and aesthetics to ensure a building is both functional and compliant with regulations. At AMS Surveys, we work closely with you to understand your vision, creating tailored designs for extensions or renovations.   Our approach combines creativity with technical expertise, ensuring designs are practical, cost-effective, and aligned with planning requirements. By integrating architectural design with our wider surveying and project services, we help streamline your project and deliver a cohesive, well-executed outcome from concept through to completion.
