Physical Condition Survey
We assess building fabric, mechanical installations and electrical wiring throughout your healthcare estate, providing a full picture of your sites’ condition and identifying any repairs or improvements required.
Functional Suitability Review
To determine whether your estate's location, layout and structure meet your organisation's operational demands, we evaluate the accessibility, space and support facilities across your buildings, reporting on issues and advising on ways to enhance operational efficiency.
Space Utilisation Audit
By assessing the allocation of your space, occupancy levels, areas of crowding and more, we determine whether your estate is capably handling your staff and patients, and advise on steps to optimise space or expand facilities in line with future service demands.
Quality Audit
Our expert surveyors analyse the aesthetics, comfort and ambience of your estate to ensure a pleasant experience for patients, professionals and visitors. From lighting to noise levels, we cover every detail that contributes to the quality of your environment.
Statutory Compliance Audit
Evaluating everything from health & safety obligations to fire safety and accessibility, we certify your estate complies with the latest legislation and regulations. By rapidly locating any areas of non-compliance, we help you proactively make updates to prevent penalties.
Environmental Management Audit
Our in-depth audits examine your healthcare estate’s energy consumption, waste, water use and overall environmental impact. With this insight, you can take informed steps to improve insulation, update heating systems and introduce renewable energy sources.
