We have seen many surveys over the years, building surveys, structural surveys and engineers reports. To be polite they are often not written in plain English, we call it 'surveyor speak'.
Our report format is aimed at making our surveys very readable, especially for people who are not surveyors. We aim to eliminate 'surveyor speak' from our survey reports and make them understandable without any prior knowledge being required.
What is just as bad is when the chartered surveyor is "too busy" to help you understand what they wrote! We always speak to the client before, during and after the survey has been carried out.
If you need clarification on something in a surveyors report we will try and help even if its not one of our surveys! Just give us a phone call or send your poor surveyors reports to badsurveys@1stassociated.co.uk and we will do our best to help.
