The professional expertise of HbD Surveyors provides a complete service for residential, commercial and industrial clients following major damage by fire, explosion or flood.
Our immediate appointment after an incident offers timely and appropriate assistance from day one to full reinstatement of the damaged property.

Briefly these include:
- A site survey immediately after the incident following our appointment.

- Preparation of a specification or bills of quantities.
- Prepare drawings as necessary to obtain Local Authority planning or building regulation approval.
- Preparation of all necessary tender documentation.
- Regular site visits, monitoring progress of the works.
