Brief
Vendors Building Survey
In the heart of Southampton stood a 35,000 sq ft multi-use commercial building—an architectural anchor in the city’s commercial landscape. Owned by a registered charity, the building had served its purpose well, but the time had come for a new chapter. The charity, looking to sell the property, understood that transparency and diligence would be key to attracting the right buyer. That’s when they turned to Bressummer A.R.K.
The client’s brief was clear: they needed a comprehensive building survey that could be shared with prospective buyers to support their due diligence. It wasn’t just about ticking boxes—it was about instilling confidence and clarity in a complex transaction.
Delivery
We provided a detailed building survey and schedule of condition to fit into our client's tight timescales.
Bressummer Ark responded with precision and professionalism. The team conducted a full building survey, deploying a mini drone to access and inspect the expansive roof areas—an innovative approach that ensured no detail was overlooked. Every element of the building fabric and services was meticulously assessed, from the structural integrity of the walls to the performance of the HVAC systems.
But the survey went beyond the physical. The report included a thorough narrative on energy performance, statutory compliance, and sustainability measures—critical factors for modern buyers. It also addressed current legislation and offered practical advice on how the building could meet or exceed regulatory expectations.
To further enrich the report, Bressummer Ark carried out a desktop review of all available as-built construction drawings, warranties, and certifications. This holistic approach ensured that the final document wasn’t just a snapshot—it was a comprehensive dossier that told the full story of the building’s past, present, and future potential.
The result? A detailed, professional report delivered promptly, and a very satisfied client. The charity was equipped with a powerful tool to support their sale, and prospective buyers were given the transparency they needed to move forward with confidence.
At Bressummer Ark, it’s not just about surveying buildings—it’s about unlocking opportunities through clarity, care, and commitment.
