How it works
From booking to report in 3 days
A simple process, with someone qualified on the other end of the phone at every stage.
1. Book or request a quote
Tell us about the property and when suits. Send a booking request, or ask for a quote and we come back with a price.
2. We arrange access
We deal with the estate agent, builder or solicitor directly so you do not have to chase anyone.
3. Survey day
A qualified engineer, surveyor or architect inspects the property in detail and photographs everything relevant.
4. Report within 3 days
Your written report arrives within three working days, followed by a call to talk through the findings.

Questions
Planning Permission questions
How long does planning take in Dublin or Meath?
A straightforward application typically takes around eight weeks for a decision, longer if further information is requested or a third party appeals.
Do I need permission for my extension?
Some works are exempted development within set limits. Send us the details and we will tell you whether an application is needed.
Can you help with retention?
Yes. We regularly prepare retention applications for works already built, often alongside an Opinion on Compliance.
What do you need from me to quote?
A description of the project, the address, and any photos or existing drawings you have. Upload them with your enquiry.
