01
Survey & Inspection
Inspection
A focused inspection to diagnose a defined building issue, interpret cause and risk, and advise on the next step.
Expertise
Advice that leads to action.
Technical property matters are rarely isolated. We connect condition, obligation, cost and delivery so that clients can decide with the full picture in view.
How the work is organised.
MGRA is one practice. Work is organised through three specialist routes — Survey & Inspection, Advisory & Dilapidations, and Design & Project — and six services. The order below is for reading on this page only.
02
Survey & Inspection
Surveying
Whether a defined change can be accommodated, and a professional opinion on the building as a whole.
Measured surveys, spatial records and lease plans are used, coordinated or reviewed where the instruction requires them.
03
Advisory & Dilapidations
Dilapidations
MGRA advises landlords and tenants on dilapidations. We compare the lease and related obligations with what exists at the property — including repair, decoration and alterations — and with the evidence available, then advise on the dilapidations position and the next appropriate step.
- Liability and lease interpretation
- Strategy and negotiation
- Settlement and reinstatement
04
Design & Project
Design
Design support for alterations, repairs and refurbishment of commercial and industrial buildings. We turn the client’s brief into clear Employer’s Requirements and tender information, then coordinate the contractor’s detailed design for delivery.
- Employer’s Requirements
- CAT A / CAT B and envelope repair
- Specifications and contractor design
05
Design & Project
Project Services
Procurement, tendering and contract administration, including payment, retention and change processes, through to completion and close-out.
- Contract administration
- Tendering, change and close-out
- Cost and commercial advice
06
Advisory & Dilapidations
Advisory
MGRA provides technical property advice where a client needs to understand risk, options, obligations or next steps before committing to works, acquisition, occupation or another professional instruction.
Where should I start?
Is there a problem with the building?
Start with a Scope Inspection
Diagnosis, cause, risk and the next professional step.
Does the building need to accommodate a change?
Start with a Scope Survey
Feasibility, constraints, design input and project strategy.
Not sure which route applies? Start a conversation and MGRA will help define the appropriate instruction.
For an overall professional opinion on the building, start with a Commercial Building Survey. For an acquisition, lease or investment decision, start with Technical Due Diligence.
