Condition Survey
by John A. Herbert
The challenges facing those who own, operate and occupy buildings have
significantly changed over the years, dramatic changes in the complexity of
Building Services Installation (air conditioning, electrcial, lighting, fire services,
plumbing, drainage, and controls), and the maintenance of building
services (M&E) systems demans expertise.
Coupled with constantly changing legislation has created significantly
increasing risk and duty of care obligations.
To tackle these challenges, Kelcroft's professional advisory
services helps clients involved in property development, construction
and maintenance. We advise developers, owners, and tenants of both
commercial, industrial, healthcare, institutional, and residential
sectors, whilst you focus on your core business.

E&M Installation Condition Surveyor
You need to ensure that reasonable precautions and measures have
been taken, Kelcroft's professional E&M condition surveys
provides peace of mind. After a fire or after the power
outage it's too late.
Kelcroft's condition survey comprise site inspection, regulatory
review, and reporting findings of your M&E infrastructure.
We deliver a comprehensive report covering the condition, operational
status, serviceability, and valuation of your existing building
services plant and equipment.
Design Problems and deferred maintenance are revealed, for example
one survey revealed damaged capacitor controlling the power factor.
In another case, duplicate thermostats were found controlling the
same AHU.
Condition surveys are tailored and structured to suit your precise
needs, for example, a common request is the pre-purchase survey,
or perhaps you need a data centre equipment survey, or busbar
inspection, we can accomodate it.
Also custom investigation, for the condition of air conditioning
can be provided ....learn more
Condition Survey Approach
Surveying is a boots on the ground action, we conduct a mrhodical,
detailed site inspection, any defects discovered are recorded,
operations mode examined, and records reviewed, these provide
the core content for our written report.
Detail focused, Kelcroft will examine the condition of plant
and equipment, inside and out, to learn about the operation and
maintenance.
Thermal Infra-red Survey
Kelcroft has the tools to also provide thermal infra-red survey to
idendify minor problems before they become a disaster.
Preventative is the key, using our state of the art camera reveals problems
the human eye cannot detect, and importantly it provides the opportunity to fix
issues before a major outage occurs....learn more
