Your
Condition survey
Solution
Salvis can undertake building condition surveys and inspections of existing mechanical and electrical building installations across the UK, to assess condition, suitability, and compliance and estimate the remaining working life.
Condition surveys can be used by estates, facilities, and finance teams to understand their systems and maintenance liabilities and develop capital programmes for lifecycle replacement.
The Survey Process
The site survey includes a visual inspection of the installed systems and equipment, such as heating and cooling, water services, ventilation, lighting, power distribution, and fire and security systems.
We then provide a condition report detailing the findings, with an overview of the installed plant and commentary on its condition and compliance with regulations, standards and good industry practice. Schedules for the main plant items include condition assessments and priority gradings in line with CIBSE Guide M: Maintenance Engineering and Management, plus remaining operational life expectancy and budget replacement costs.
Frequently asked questions
Why is a condition survey important?
Condition surveys help identify issues early, reduce risk, and provide the information needed to plan repairs, prioritise works, and manage building lifecycle costs effectively.
When should a condition survey be carried out?
Condition surveys are typically undertaken before property acquisition, refurbishment, or lease agreements, and periodically to support ongoing maintenance planning.
What will I receive from a condition survey?
You will receive a detailed report outlining the building's condition, identified defects, recommended remedial works, an asset rating, and indicative costs and priorities for action.
How does a condition survey help reduce costs?
By identifying defects and maintenance issues early, a condition survey helps prevent costly failures and supports more efficient, planned investment in repairs and upgrades. It can also inform decision-making for your decarbonisation strategy.
