Building More Than Buildings

Buildings are about more than bricks and mortar.

They are homes where people should feel safe and independent. Schools where children can learn and thrive. Community spaces that bring people together. Places that support opportunity, connection and wellbeing.

At Easton Bevins, we believe social value should be at the heart of what we do, not something added at the end of a project.

From supporting safer homes for older and vulnerable residents, to helping create specialist SEND education environments, protecting community buildings and improving student accommodation, our work can make a genuine difference to the people and communities who use these spaces.

Because behind every building are people. And ultimately, good property consultancy should be about building more than buildings. Read our full blog post here https://www.eastonbevins.co.uk/news/building-more-than-buildings-the-social-value-behind-easton-bevins-work/

Successful projects don't happen by chance, they happen through careful planning, expert oversight, and clear communication. At Easton Bevins, we guide clients through every stage of the project lifecycle:
✅ Design – Feasibility, planning and technical design
✅ Tender – Selecting the right contractor at the right price
✅ Start on Site – Ensuring everything is in place for a smooth start

✅ Completion – Thorough inspections and final sign-off

From feasibility to handover, our experienced surveyors help reduce risk, control costs, and deliver successful outcomes on projects of all sizes.

Is your residential building under 11 metres? Government funding may now be available for cladding remediation.

A new Government funding route has opened for eligible residential buildings under 11 metres, providing an important opportunity for building owners and Responsible Entities facing life-safety risks associated with cladding and external wall systems.

The funding is delivered through the Cladding Safety Scheme and administered by Homes England. To be eligible, buildings must generally:
▪️ Be in England
▪️ Be a residential building under 11 metres
▪️ Contain 2 or more dwellings
▪️ Have a PAS 9980:2022-compliant Fire Risk Appraisal of External Walls (FRAEW) identifying a high or medium (action required) fire safety outcome
▪️ Require proportionate remediation or mitigation to address the identified risk

Applications are open now but close on Friday 9 October 2026.

At Easton Bevins, our experienced building surveying team can assist with the FRAEW and the technical assessment required to establish the appropriate course of action, helping Responsible Entities understand the risks and progress towards remediation.

If you manage, own or have responsibility for a residential building under 11 metres where cladding or an external wall system may present a fire safety risk, now is the time to find out whether your building could be eligible.

📩 Contact Easton Bevins today to discuss your building and the next steps.

Extra information regarding the fund is here: Buildings under 11 metres: fund overview - GOV.UK

Funding is subject to Government eligibility criteria and approval. An FRAEW is required as part of the application process. Applications must be made by the Responsible Entity or their authorised representative. Valid applications are progressed in the order they are received, this is therefore a clear reason to act now rather than wait until the deadline.

Before fit-out begins, it pays to know exactly what was already there.

For a seven-storey period office building in Bloomsbury, London, Easton Bevins was instructed to prepare a Schedule of Condition and Validation Schedule ahead of our client’s internal fit-out works. The building’s traditional construction, detailed elevations and central London location required a careful and methodical inspection.

Our survey recorded the condition of the building’s shell, communal areas, finishes, fixtures and visible elements, alongside the operation of doors and windows. The report provided a detailed baseline of the property, documenting everything from minor scratches, scuffs and blemishes through to damaged finishes, broken units and missing elements.

Importantly, the record provided clear evidence of pre-existing defects, helping to distinguish them from any damage that might occur during the subsequent fit-out.

The completed report brought together:
📍 Detailed written observations
📸 Photographic evidence
🗺️ Marked-up floor plans
🚪 Door and window validation
📋 A clear openings validation schedule
🔎 Cross-referenced observations by floor and area

The result was a reliable record of the building’s condition before works began — giving our client and the wider project team a clear reference point and helping to reduce uncertainty and the risk of unsubstantiated claims later on.

For buildings of this character and complexity, a Schedule of Condition is more than just a record. It’s an important risk management tool. You can also find out more about our schedule of conditions here: https://www.eastonbevins.co.uk/building-surveying/commercial-surveys/schedule-of-condition/

Will AI replace building surveyors? Since the launch of ChatGPT in 2022, AI has rapidly changed the way professionals work and building surveying is no exception.

From analysing documents and identifying patterns in defects to interpreting thermal images and organising maintenance data, AI is already helping surveyors work more efficiently.

But can AI replace a building surveyor? We don’t think so. Building surveying is about far more than identifying information. It requires experience, professional judgement and an understanding of context.

A surveyor needs to be able to walk through a building and understand how different defects relate to one another. They need to assess risk in the context of a client’s plans, communicate with homeowners and contractors, navigate sensitive situations and ultimately take professional responsibility for their advice.

AI can identify a pattern. A surveyor understands the story behind it.

At Easton Bevins, we see technology as an opportunity to enhance the profession, not remove the human element. Used effectively, AI can reduce administrative workloads, improve consistency and help surveyors spend more time doing what they do best — interpreting information and providing meaningful advice.

The Party Wall Act hasn't changed… but the expectations have.

In 2026, party wall surveyors face greater scrutiny, higher professional standards, and increasing pressure to embrace digital working.

📌 Better documentation
📌 Stronger record-keeping
📌 Building Safety Act awareness
📌 Greater accountability

The law may be the same, but the way it's applied is evolving.
