Building Surveyors for Commercial Property and Charities
G Squared is a RICS-regulated firm of chartered building surveyors based in Merthyr Tydfil, providing building surveying, project delivery and technical advisory services to commercial property owners, occupiers, charities and other organisations across South Wales, West Wales, Mid Wales, and the Bristol and South West England area. From acquisition surveys and dilapidations advice to defect diagnosis, refurbishment projects and planned maintenance programmes, we help clients protect, improve and maximise the value of their property assets.
Pre-Acquisition Surveys
We undertake pre-acquisition surveys on commercial and investment property, providing a clear understanding of building condition, repair liabilities and future capital expenditure requirements. Our reports enable purchasers to make informed decisions, manage risk and negotiate with confidence before committing to a transaction.
Building Condition Surveys
We undertake building condition surveys on commercial, investment and community property, providing a clear assessment of condition, repair liabilities and future maintenance requirements. Our reports help clients manage risk, plan expenditure and make informed decisions regarding acquisition, occupation, refinancing and long-term asset management.
Planned Preventative Maintenance Schedules
We prepare Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) schedules setting out future maintenance, repair and replacement requirements for commercial and community property. Our reports help clients budget effectively, prioritise works and manage their property assets through planned investment rather than reactive repairs.
Dilapidations Advice
We provide dilapidations advice to landlords and tenants, assessing compliance with lease obligations and preparing schedules of dilapidations, schedules of condition and associated technical reports. Our advice helps clients understand liabilities, support negotiations and manage lease-end obligations effectively.
Schedules of Condition
We prepare schedules of condition at the start of a commercial lease, recording the state of a property before a tenant takes occupation, giving both landlord and tenant an agreed factual reference point that limits repairing liability and protects against dispute at lease end.
Party Wall Matters
We advise on and administer matters arising under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996, from assessing whether proposed works are notifiable through to serving notices, preparing awards and undertaking schedules of condition. Our advice helps clients manage risk, maintain programme certainty and avoid unnecessary disputes.
Project Management
We manage repair, refurbishment, fit-out and capital projects from inception through to completion, coordinating the design team, contractor and client stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle. Our services help clients manage risk, maintain programme certainty and achieve successful outcomes in terms of cost, quality and performance.
Design and Specification
We prepare designs, specifications and tender documentation for maintenance, repair, refurbishment and fit-out projects across commercial and community property. Our services help clients define project requirements, obtain competitive tenders and deliver works to the required quality standards.
Quality Inspection /
Clerk of Works
We act as independent Quality Inspection & Clerks of Works on refurbishment, fit-out and capital projects, providing regular site inspections and reporting throughout the construction phase. By monitoring workmanship, specification compliance and construction quality, we help clients manage risk, reduce defects and ensure works are delivered to the required standard.
CDM Advisor / Principal Designer
We provide CDM Advisor and Principal Designer services for commercial and community property projects, coordinating health and safety throughout the design process and helping clients meet their obligations under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015.
Technical Advisor
We provide independent technical advice to commercial property owners, occupiers, investors and charitable organisations on complex property and construction matters. Whether reviewing proposed works, investigating defects, assessing risks or providing a second opinion, we help clients make informed decisions based on clear, impartial professional advice.
Section 20 Leasehold Consultation Surveys
Where a landlord is recovering the cost of qualifying works or a long-term agreement through the service charge, we prepare the survey and specification needed to support the Section 20 consultation process under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985, giving leaseholders the detail the statutory notice requires and the landlord a defensible basis for the cost.
