All services, in one place.
52 services in two groups: work for building projects and checks for properties already in use. The 4 survey services appear in both groups. Search by name or by the words on the request you have received.
- Energy and SAP calculations
Design-stage and as-built SAP calculations for new and converted homes, with the EPC lodged at completion.
Part L - SBEM and BRUKL calculations
Energy compliance calculations for new buildings other than homes, and some extensions, with the BRUKL output report.
Part L - Energy statements
Energy and carbon statements for planning applications, written to the local plan policy that applies.
Planning - Overheating assessments
Simplified method or dynamic modelling to show new homes and other new residential buildings limit overheating in summer.
Part O - U-value calculations
Heat-loss calculations for walls, floors and roofs, so the specification can be checked before build.
Part L - Thermal bridging and psi-values
Junction calculations that replace default values in SAP and can improve the result.
Part L - Overglazed extension calculations
Calculations showing an extension with generous glazing still meets the energy standard.
Part L - Part L evidence support
Photographic evidence and the BREL report, gathered during the build and issued at completion.
Part L - Sustainability statements
Statements covering energy, water, materials and waste for planning submissions.
Planning - BREEAM assessment support
Support through BREEAM pre-assessment, design and post-construction stages.
Planning - Daylight and sunlight assessments
Daylight to new rooms, and the effect of a scheme on neighbouring properties.
Planning - Water efficiency calculations
Calculations showing new homes meet the water use limit: 125 litres per person per day, or 110 where a planning condition requires it.
Part G
- Sound testing
Pre-completion airborne and impact sound tests between new or converted homes. New homes built to registered Robust Details can use that route instead, subject to the scheme conditions.
Part E - Air tightness testing
Pressure testing to measure air leakage against the design target, with a certificate for building control.
Part L - Ventilation testing
Airflow measurement of extract fans and ventilation systems, with commissioning records for building control.
Part F - MVHR commissioning and balancing
Setting up and balancing whole-house heat recovery systems to the design flow rates.
Part F - Air leakage diagnostics
Finding where air escapes after a failed or borderline test, so it can be sealed before a retest.
Part L - Building thermography
Thermal imaging surveys that show heat loss, missing insulation and cold bridges.
Diagnostics - Passive House airtightness testing
Testing to the Passivhaus method and limit, including intermediate tests during construction.
Passivhaus - Background ventilation checks

Part F - Smoke shaft leakage testing
Leakage testing of smoke shafts in residential blocks against the criteria in the smoke control design specification.

- Building Regulations applications
Preparing and managing your Building Regulations application through the route that suits the project: the local authority, a registered building control approver, or the Building Safety Regulator for higher-risk buildings.
Approvals - Building Regulations drawings and plan review
Technical drawings and specifications, or a review of your architect’s drawings against the Approved Documents.
Approvals - Structural calculations
Calculations for beams, openings, lofts and new structures, ready for building control.
Part A - Fire strategy and design advice
Means of escape, compartmentation and fire strategy reports for new and altered buildings.
Part B - Drainage design and applications
Foul and surface water design, soakaway calculations and build-over applications.
Part H - Access and inclusive design review
Approach, entrances and facilities reviewed against Part M and the access standard required.
Part M - Ventilation design

Part F - Acoustic design and remedial advice
Separating wall and floor details, and remedial advice after a failed sound test.
Part E - Principal designer (Building Regulations)
Principal Designer services for Building Regulations compliance, managed through one point of contact. Building Regulations and CDM 2015 Principal Designer roles are separate. Your quotation confirms which role is included.
Dutyholder - Regularisation support
Preparing a regularisation application for work carried out without Building Regulations approval. Applications go to the local authority, or to the Building Safety Regulator for higher-risk buildings, never to a registered building control approver. Approval is not guaranteed, and opening up or alterations may be needed.
Approvals - Completion evidence and handover
Gathering the certificates, test results and statements building control needs before it can issue a completion or final certificate.
Approvals
- Measured building surveys
Accurate existing floor plans, elevations and sections as a base for design work.
Surveys - Floor plans
Clear, measured floor plans for sales, lettings and marketing.

Land Registry - CCTV drainage surveys
Camera surveys of existing drains before design, purchase or a build-over application.
Part H
- Residential EPC
Energy Performance Certificates for homes being sold, let or newly built.
EPC - Commercial EPC
Non-domestic EPCs for commercial premises being sold, let or built.
EPC - Display Energy Certificates
DECs for buildings over 250 square metres occupied by a public authority and frequently visited by the public, based on actual energy use.
DEC - Air conditioning inspections (TM44)
Inspections of air conditioning systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW, at least every five years, as the regulations require.
TM44 - Retrofit energy assessment
PAS 2035 whole-home assessments of condition, ventilation, occupancy and energy performance, as the starting point for planning retrofit work.
PAS 2035
- Electrical installation condition reports (EICR)
Periodic inspection and testing of fixed wiring, with a coded report on its condition.
Electrical - Gas safety checks
Annual landlord gas safety checks by Gas Safe registered engineers, with the record you must keep.
Gas - PAT testing
Available for any landlord, office, shop or site that needs it. A qualified tester inspects and tests portable electrical equipment where your risk assessment calls for it. How often depends on the type of equipment and how it is used; not every appliance needs an annual test.
