Energy Certificates
An EU Directive (2002/91/EC), which aims to promote improvements in the energy performance of buildings is due to be implemented. The Directive requires all new and existing buildings (with a few exceptions) to have an Energy Certificate when they are constructed, sold or rented out. An Energy Certificate is included as part of the Home Condition Report for dwellings being sold. However, we can also provide Energy Certificates for rented accommodation. |

Measured Surveys / Computer Aided Design (CAD)
With the aid of the latest digital measuring equipment and experience of surveying existing buildings, we can undertake detailed measured surveys and produce computer generated drawings (using the latest CAD software) for record purposes or as the basis for proposed alteration works. Space drawings also prepared.
Building surveys and accurate records of existing buildings are vital, especially with today’s databases storing so much information on areas, net capacity, accessibility, asbestos and other data respective to asset and estate management. |
 |
|
| As well as enabling the accurate calculation of gross and net internal areas, proper CAD drawings of a building also allow for example ACM’s (Asbestos Containing Materials) to be located pictorially, so avoiding location ambiguities when referencing databases. Obviously, a good CAD drawing, derived from a good survey, can have multiple uses and will become a valuable commodity that pays for itself in no time. |
M & E drawings
Mechanical and electrical drawings are prepared in accordance with marked up plans, suitable for proposed works or ‘as built’ drawings. Our team are experienced in M & E layouts and specification and use industry standard symbols.

Health and Safety Risk Assessment
The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 require employers to complete risk assessments. The function of such an assessment is to identify potential hazards within the premises and then to determine the degree of risk presented by each. This can be used to prioritise control measures, which will ensure the risk of injury is reduced to an acceptable level.
