Schedule of Condition for London Development - Westminster
We recently completed an internal and external schedule of condition so that the redevelopment of a 5 storey listed building in historic Westminster could begin.
A major commercial development was to commence on 3 sides of this 5 storey listed property in Central London. This entailed demolition of the existing surrounding buildings and new construction, including at lower ground level. The contractor’s client wanted a Schedule of Condition at the start of the works.
The subject property was vacated for the duration of the works. Metcalfe Briggs Surveyors completed an internal and external Schedule of Condition. Internally a number of rooms had detailed plaster mouldings and timber paneling which required a very methodical approach to complete our work.
We delivered a comprehensive Schedule, an archive record against which any future defects could be measured.
No-Maintenance Building Has Condition Survey - Pimlico
This luxury apartment block is approximately 10 years old. It was designed with the objective of low maintenance. Building materials were used that supported this concept. However, it is a mistake to believe nothing needs to be done. Low maintenance does not mean no maintenance.

Our external and internal condition survey provided information of each building element and what was required to preserve its design life. It included researching manufacturers’ information for regular cleaning and servicing procedures. Our condition survey gave the Directors knowledge so that they could plan maintenance rather than storing up problems for the future
