Condition Survey
John Herbert
Director
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 demands experience.
Couple that with constantly changing legislation it has created additional
risk and duty of care obligations for owners.

E&M Condition Surveying
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 a power outage it's
too late. Also known as E& M inspection
Kelcroft's condition survey is a detailed site inspection, regulatory
review, and reporting findings for 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.
We have discovered design problems, installation problems and deferred
maintenance. For example one survey revealed damaged capacitor
controlling the building power factor correction system. In another
case, duplicate thermostats were found counter controlling the
same air handling unit.
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 also provided custom investigations, for example the
condition survey of your steam systems,
or perhaps its your air conditioning system.
Methodology
First we carry out a document review, followed up with site
inspection, where we record our findings, deferred maintenance,
energy inefficiencies in our comprehensive written report.
Detail focused, Kelcroft examines the condition of plant
and equipment, inside and out, to report it condition.
Infrared Assisted Condition Survey
Kelcroft can also provide in-house infra-red survey to idendify minor
problems before they escalate.
Prevention is the key, with our state of the art IR camera reveals
problems the human eye cannot detect, and it provides the
opportunity to fix issues before a major outage occurs....learn more
