    Heat Survey

    Posted 17 March

    We had a major issue with part of our house being incredibly cold with a draught. Having known Julian for a while from networking, I contacted him and asked him to come and have a look. Julian arrived, promptly as ever, and carried out a detailed survey using various gadgets and gizmos. He showed us that the problem was mainly the small roof at the front of the house. The builders had not added any insulation when they built it, hence the cold. He found a difference of 6 degrees in that part of the room. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend Julian for anything building related.

    Damp issue in the bedroom needed investigating

    Posted 16 March

    A damp issue in the bedroom needed investigating to find out if it water was getting in or not getting out. Julian's investigation was thorough and well documented providing both an explanation of the problem and guidance on remediation.

    Structural / Buildings Survey

    Posted 31 July 2024

    Used Julian for surveying the feasibility of moving an internal wall, and also a full Buildings Survey (w/ Structural). Couldn't be more pleased at the quality of work and the clarity of report. Prices very reasonable, and charged at or under quoted cost. Received extremely thorough full survey report, (including additional observations), a full 3D scan of the building, and a zoom call afterwards to discuss any items where further clarity needed. Communications could sometimes be better (when have estate agents breathing down neck), however the quality and thoroughness cannot be understated.

    Structural survey for wall removal

    Posted 04 December 2023

    Julian was quick to arrange an appointment and really clear about what he could offer. Really thorough in his work, making a 3d scan of the structure of my house and explaining everything in more simple terms that I could understand, whilst providing all the more techy details and plans needed by a builder for the job in hand. What a lovely chap, thank you Julian

    Kitchen renovation - structural calculations

    Posted 15 March 2023

    Having Julian visit was by far the best decision we could have made before embarking on a renovation and would definitely recommend to anybody who needs some clarity on a project. Where others had simply stated “anything is possible”, Julian gave us properly considered advice and creative alternatives where required. He really helped us understand the limitations and scope of our project, explaining in detail the benefits/pitfalls of each idea. Above all he listened carefully to what we wanted to achieve, and spent lots of time analysing our needs in order to give us the best advice. Fantasti

WHAT WE DO at 'By-Julian' :


Structural Calculations and Survey Reports on both Domestic & Commercial Properties. We also provide Expert Witness services.

Our projects range from small internal alterations on domestic properties, to extensions and new build developments through to larger internal alteration and refurbishment projects on commercial premises.


We have our own trades team to refer to directly.


We provide 3D scans to enhance our surveys and we can also provide thermal imagery and videos to identify 'Hot' high cost energy loss areas and 'Cold' spots where damp might be forming and moulds growing.


PROCESS


We always visit a property.


When we receive notification that we have been 'short-listed', we will call you, take your details, undertake a 'discovery phase' to better understand your project, make an appointment and send you out a quote for the work. We have fixed fees and will calculate our fees and will identify an appropriate budget cost of your proposed works. We then ask that you discuss this with us if needed and then sign and return your acceptance for us to proceed.

We can assess and design your project and then help to deliver it. We can undertake pre-project surveys to identify risks and opportunities, for all property types. We love referrals and we talk to our clients as equals. We always visit a site.


Repair and renovation are also our speciality. We understand that no two projects are the same, hence our bespoke attitude. You can also bring us into your project if there is a need for ‘Structural Rescue’.


One of our Principals, Julian Carter is a Chartered Engineer and a Fellow, FICE; he has spent over 30 years in the Industry in the Wakefield/Yorkshire area. He has served as an Expert Witness and is accepted by UK Statutory Authorities and Lending organisations as a competent witness.


If you want to see more, you can find him via his LinkedIn page.


We would like the opportunity to help you with your project, big or small.


We understand that engaging the Services of Professional Engineers can sometimes be daunting; we break down barriers and enjoy working with our clients. If you are not sure about what you will receive for our fees, please simply request a 'sample'; we are more than happy to provide you with a sample of our work and what you can expect from us for the fee.


We also provide 3D scans of surveys as the photo gallery shows.


We provide you with the record that your property needs; for Development/Planning/Building

More importantly, you will have the records you need to provide your lender, your insurer and when you sell your property in the future.

If you shortlist us for your project, whilst our quotes are free, please discuss fully before we quote to avoid misunderstanding.

And finally, please read our feedback carefully; this is proof of our integrity where we protect our clients this is our Duty of Care to our Clients and the Public.

We Consult with you.


We stand by our quotes as our feedback states; if you are serious then ask for a quote.
