Services to suit the whole life of a building

Whether you manage a block for leaseholders, own a listed or period building, or are taking a site from appraisal to completion, you need advice you can act on, pass to your client and defend if it is questioned.

Avalon Surveyors Ltd is an independent practice of chartered building surveyors, regulated by RICS (firm number 030895) and in continuous practice since 2000, working across London, the South East and the East of England.

We take projects from feasibility, design, approvals and tender through Contract Administration to the final account, and look after buildings for the years that follow: condition surveys, planned maintenance, dilapidations, insurance reinstatement and party wall matters. Each service follows the relevant RICS professional standards.

Whatever stage your building has reached, one practice holds the file and the advice stays joined up. See each service and the standard it follows, or read the case studies.
