Rider Levett Bucknall

Building Surveying

The condition and performance of buildings has a huge impact on their investment potential. Are they in good repair? Has the space been well used or is there an opportunity to create more? Do they meet safety standards? And how does their construction affect running and maintenance costs?

Whether you’re buying, selling or running commercial property, you’ll need these questions answered.

Rider Levett Bucknall’s Building Surveying team will give you confidence that your property assets are efficient and effective, at any stage of their life. If, following a comprehensive review, we find that they are not, we have the skills to make them perform better.

This process often leads to significant cost savings, as operational and asset-based efficiencies are introduced, and is underpinned by our Responsible Management philosophy.

Trusted advisors

Our ability to improve the effectiveness and value of buildings of every type in every sector has made us one of the most respected names in building surveying. With Centres of Excellence in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol and Sheffield, alongside an expanding regional and international network, we can handle even the largest property portfolios. 

Multi-skilled

Building surveyors are multi-skilled, so we can advise you on the condition, risks and potential of your buildings right through their life cycle. We can plan maintenance schedules that help you reduce operating costs and improve efficiency. We can help bring your buildings into line with the latest regulations. We can even use our expertise to make sure you get faster, fairer settlements on all types of property disputes.

‘One-stop shop’

We can handle all but the most technical aspects of building projects, which simplifies administration, speeds up completion and saves on professional fees. When a project does need the input of other consultants, we can co-ordinate them to bring a deal to a swift conclusion.
