Construction is a heavy, vibrational, and often disruptive process. Whether you are working near sensitive third-party structures or on the public highway, baseline documentation is your best defence against unwarranted damage claims.
At Ellipsis Consulting Eningeers Ltd, we provide high-definition Pre-Construction Condition Surveys (PCCS) and Post-Construction Reviews. We capture the exact state of infrastructure before your first excavator arrives, ensuring a clear, indisputable record of the site’s history.
Before works begin, we conduct a meticulous inspection of the site and its surroundings.
Highway & Footway Surveys: We document existing cracks, potholes, and kerb damage on the public highway. This is essential for S278 and S38 agreements to prove you aren't responsible for pre-existing wear and tear.
Once the heavy machinery has left and the project is nearing completion, we return to the site.
Comparative Analysis: We compare the post-work state against the pre-work baseline to identify any genuine damage.
Dispute Resolution: Our reports provide the technical evidence needed to settle claims quickly and fairly, preventing long-term legal "deadlock" with neighbours or local authorities.
Maintenance Handover: For adoptable roads, our post-construction surveys help secure the "Maintenance Period" sign-off from the Highway Authority.
Avoid "Fraudulent" Claims: Without a pre-construction record, it is almost impossible to prove that a broken kerb wasn't caused by your site traffic.
Secure Your Bonds: For Section 38/278 works, the Highway Authority will hold your bond until they are satisfied with the road's condition. Our surveys ensure a smooth "handover" process.
Insurance Compliance: Many specialist insurers now require a formal condition survey as a condition of coverage for "High-Risk" urban developments.
Maintain Good Relations: Providing neighbours with a professional survey shows transparency and a commitment to protecting their property, reducing friction throughout the build.
We don't just take a few photos; we provide a robust legal-grade record:
High-Resolution Digital Imagery: Every defect is timestamped and geo-tagged.
Video Walkthroughs: HD video coverage of the entire survey area for total context.
Detailed Schedules of Condition: A written log describing every notable defect, linked to the visual evidence.
Don't wait for a claim to arrive. Secure your baseline record before the first shovel hits the ground.
