Your
Condition survey
Solution
Salvis can undertake building condition surveys and inspections of existing mechanical and electrical building installations 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.
Detailed Survey Process
The site survey would generally involve a detailed survey process that includes a visual inspection of the installed systems, such as heating and cooling, water services, ventilation, lighting, power distribution, and fire and security systems. Plant and system operation and performance testing can also be included.
The condition report details the findings of the condition survey and includes an overview of the installed plant and commentary on its condition, condition schedules of the main items of the plant, survey photographs, and recommendations for energy efficiency measures. The conditioning schedule gives condition assessment and priority gradings by CIBSE Guide M - Maintenance Engineering and Management.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Condition surveys help identify issues early, reduce risk, and provide the information needed to plan repairs, prioritise works, and manage building lifecycle costs effectively.

-
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.
