Building surveying & expert defect advice
Independent advice for homeowners, developers, solicitors and property professionals throughout Scotland — focused on the investigation, diagnosis and reporting of building defects.
The standards of a chartered firm — the care of a small one.
You work directly with Colin Low — a Chartered Building Surveyor (MRICS) with over 35 years' experience, regulated by RICS. One expert who knows your building from the outset.
Defects are often further than skin deep. Rather than stop at the surface, Colin gives a comprehensive look at the building — investigating the underlying cause so the report reflects what's really going on, not just what's visible.
His experience designing and specifying for autism also shapes how he reports. He's learned that what seems a small issue can be a significant one for the people who use a building — so his findings are set out with the care and clarity that makes them genuinely useful to the reader.
