Over 30 years experience

About

We are chartered building surveyors, chartered civil engineers, chartered structural engineers, chartered building engineers, chartered builders and chartered managers with over 30-years within private practice and hands-on professional experience and construction site experience.

Our professional ‘Practice’ Dr David Stuart Hill Chartered Consultancy is regulated by the RICS and other UK Institutions where it has been in private chartered surveying consultancy since 1987.

Over that time frame since its inception our chartered professionals have undertaken over 1,000 building and structural surveys and reports for prospective purchasers and vendors and where those properties have ranged from one-bedroom terraced properties to eighteen-bedroom residences ranging in price from £75,000 to over £3.5 million in value. Indeed, with our inherent time-served knowledge and surveying and engineering experience built up over those years, we have provided full term satisfaction for our clients and where we have always told it as it is when it comes to property surveys and engineering surveys, whether good or whether there are major building and structural issues. Indeed, we pride ourselves in providing a property reporting service that we and others consider to be second to none, as our professionals and associates are all qualified RICS chartered building surveyors, CABE chartered building engineers, ICE chartered civil engineers, IStruct.E chartered structural engineers, IET senior engineers and CIOB chartered builders who are underpinned with over 50-years in-depth experience within the building industry.

But although the practice’s chartered building and structural reports are one of the primary specialist service that we undertake for our clients, we have just as enviably and very broad long-term expertise in structural engineering and civil engineering together with other specialist areas and competences that the practice undertakes (see the practice ‘Profile). Indeed, RICS chartered surveyors and other chartered building professionals use our practice’s services in these fields of endeavour when structural concerns and other problem issues are determined by them…and they are consistently. In this way also our diversity of surveying experience combined with our engineering experience and long-term knowledge base within the industry, allows the practice to solve interdisciplinary problems and provide the peace-of-mind and solutions, not just for our own clients, but for the clients of other chartered professionals.

Surprisingly though even with this very extensive diversity of knowledge, we are a practice that is highly competitive in price with regard to our professional fees and where our rates are as competitive for individual clients as they are for large corporate concerns. Therefore, even though we are a practice that has one of the most in-depth knowledge bases in surveying practice within the Huddersfield and Yorkshire region, commissioning our practice is not restrictive in financial terms.

Profile

The Practice is competent in the following technical disciplines and combines these areas of professional expertise for our varied clients wherever they are relevant upon request and commission. In that way we inform our clients of the full extent of what they should know to solve their problems and their needs satisfactorily.
