Residential Developments
Residential Building Surveying for New Developments
A residential building surveyor is involved in every phase of a residential development, from feasibility and design advice to construction and post-construction inspections. At Andertons Gables, our building surveyor residential services are geared towards ensuring that you, as a developer, landowner, or individual, are able to manage technical risks and avoid costly defects in your construction projects.
We are frequently involved in advising clients on new build housing schemes, where we assess the quality of construction, materials, and workmanship. This includes ensuring that the construction meets the requirements of the building regulations, planning conditions, and warranty provider schemes. Our building surveyors for residential properties work with architects, contractors, and other construction professionals to ensure that a very high standard of technical work is maintained throughout the construction process.
Residential Land Surveying for Property Development
Residential land surveying is an important part of a successful property development design and overall land development services. A residential land surveyor provides clients with vital information on the boundaries, levels, and access rights of the land, among other factors that affect the development of the land.
Often required before the purchase of the land to carry out a residential land survey that ensures the dimensions of the site and identifies any risks associated with the development of the site. This ensures that the client makes an informed decision, reducing the possibility of conflicts in the future.
Throughout the development and construction of the site, the services of a residential land surveyor ensure the efficient planning of the site. Proper surveying of the land guarantees that the development of the site responds adequately to the constraints of the site.
How Much Does a Residential Land Survey Cost?
Clients frequently ask how much a residential land survey costs. The residential land survey cost depends on a number of factors, including the size of the site, its location, complexity, and the level of detail required.
For simple plots, a residential land survey may not be so involved. However, a large plot or an irregular plot, a sloping plot, or a plot to be developed may need a much more involved residential land survey. This may mean that the cost of a residential land survey will be much higher. Clients who are interested in the question of how much a land survey costs in relation to residential development need to consider it to be a necessary investment and not an optional one.
Andertons Gables offers transparent fee proposals once the scope of the residential land surveyor services has been defined.
Building Surveyor Residential Services During Construction
At the construction stage, building surveyors continue to provide technical support. This may include inspection, quality assessment, and providing guidance on construction details.
To developers, this means that there will be a reduced possibility of latent defects, as well as ensuring that houses are built according to drawings and specifications. In addition, we can also provide a contract administrator service, as required, to oversee certain parts of a building contract.
To developers of multiple residential units, building surveyors from Andertons Gables are committed to ensuring that each residential unit meets quality standards.
New Build Surveys and Post-Completion Inspections
Once construction is complete, the survey of the new build provides reassurance that the property has been correctly constructed. A new build survey can identify faults that are only noticeable after completion or early occupation of the property.
A new build snagging survey is often carried out just before or after legal completion. This ensures that faults are clearly identified and addressed within the developer’s liability or warranty period. Snagging survey new build reports drawn up by us are clear and concise, and can be used to facilitate communication in an efficient manner.
For homeowners, arranging for a new build survey shortly after moving into the property can also help in the event of warranty claims and in protecting the property in the long term.

The benefits of an integrated approach to residential developments can be realised by combining residential land surveying services, property development design input, and residential building surveying services.
