- Carrying out building condition and defect surveys across a varied property portfolio
- Investigating building pathology, damp and mould and recommending appropriate remedial solutions
- Undertaking PPM surveys across education, healthcare and public sector properties
- Producing technical reports, schedules of condition, specifications and schedules of work
