One of the project’s challenges was correctly assigning a survey method defined by building size and use. The right method for the survey saves time on site and during the processing stage.
To address this challenge, the Building Surveying Team carried out pilot surveys to ensure the drawings included all the required information as set out by HSE Estates and for the survey method to be tested. This process allowed for modifications to be made at the beginning of the works rather than further into the process.
Given the scale of the project, ORS and the HSE held regular meetings to ensure the client’s requirements were met across the various properties. Collaboration with the Property Manager for each area and the Maintenance Managers of each facility was key to ensuring that access was provided on the day of the survey and was completed on time.
