Survey update as per information received this morning. As outlined previously, the roof survey was undertaken by company called Pendrich Height Services Ltd (http://www.pendrich.com). The ceiling survey was conducted by a company called Summers Inman (http://www.summers-inman.co.uk). We are still awaiting the reports from these surveys which I hope will be made available soon.
The remainder of the building condition survey was to be completed by the City of Edinburgh council’s (CEC) own internal department. I went back to the council and stated that some parents may not see that as independent enough. The council were happy to change, and have now appointed independent companies to complete this. Some of this will be done by Hardies (http://www.hardies.co.uk), and the mechanical & electrical elements will be completed by RSP (http://www.rsp.net). The condition survey will be completed in the 2nd week of the Easter holidays.
The information from the CEC Estate department was as follows :
“We have Hardies booked in to undertake the condition survey in the second week of the Easter holidays. They are expecting to use RSP for the survey of the M&E elements (Mechanical & Electrical), which will all be brought into a single survey report.”
If you require further info, please do let me know.
