Airport surveys taking off

Edifice consulting recently commenced what should be an ongoing programme of suspended ceiling inspections at BAA’s London airports as part of the process of ensuring retail concessionaires meet BAA’s stringent compliance standards.

Edifice first had to prepare a survey template which met BAA’s requirements before undergoing lengthy induction procedures and security checks. Inspections are undertaken outside the normal operational hours of the airport and involve the production of a report on the ceiling’s general condition and any remedial works required.

RICS housing market survey

The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors recent Housing Market Survey presents a gloomy picture. However Edifice Consulting’s Managing Director, David Cosway, remains upbeat about the future:

“We continue to receive a steady flow of enquiries for residential surveys albeit the flow has reduced of late. However, due to our broad base of clients and the range of services we offer, we are not solely reliant on the housing market to maintain our workload. As a result we are able to uphold our high standards of service whilst those who are less diverse struggle to sustain themselves.”
