Surveys and Reports

Building Safety Starts Here:

Comprehensive Surveys That Deliver Clarity and Compliance

Surveys & Reports – Keeping Buildings Safe, Sound, and Compliant

At Façade Creations, we provide tailored survey solutions that help building owners and managers meet essential fire safety, structural, and regulatory requirements. From initial site inspections to issuing formal compliance documents, our goal is to simplify the process without compromising on precision or quality. We begin with visual assessments and, if needed, proceed with material testing to determine whether a full Fire Risk Appraisal of External Walls (FRAEW) is necessary, as per PAS 9980:2022. When required, we handle everything from minor drill tests to issuing EWS1 forms, ensuring your building meets all legal and insurance standards.

In-Depth Fire Safety Assessments

We go beyond surface checks with services like fire compartmentation surveys, fire door inspections, and legal notice reviews. These assessments are designed to ensure your building meets fire resistance standards and regulatory obligations. Through our trusted partnership with Cardinus, we also offer comprehensive fire risk assessments (FRA 1–4) and create fire strategy reports to support safe building design. For planning applications, we prepare fire statements that meet Gateway One requirements, demonstrating the integration of safety from the outset.

Structural Integrity & Compliance Support

Whether it’s a cladding scheme, Developer Pledge, or general safety check, our structural and compliance services are designed to meet today’s stringent regulations. We deliver height verification reports and condition surveys based on PAS 8673:2022, with a sharp focus on identifying structural degradation in line with the Building Safety Act 2022. For compliance with Building Regulations, we assess external wall systems and perform combustibility tests through BRE, giving clients clarity and peace of mind.

Surveys During Construction & Remote Desktop Reviews

During construction or refurbishment, our in-build and new-build surveys ensure everything aligns with approved specifications – documented with clear photographic and written records. If you’re not ready for an on-site visit, our desktop assessments offer a remote way to evaluate fire safety risks, using O&M manuals, Google Earth imagery, and risk matrices. Whether you’re planning, building, or maintaining, Façade Creations is your trusted partner in delivering compliant, well-documented, and safe buildings.
