North Lanarkshire Council is on the Lookout for a Building Surveyor

North Lanarkshire Council is seeking a suitably qualified and experienced building surveyor to carry out condition surveys across a number of properties within the North Lanarkshire Properties (NLP) portfolio.

In order to ensure compliance with its statutory and legal obligations and to inform a multiyear investment strategy, North Lanarkshire Properties (NLP) has a requirement to update its asset management register in respect of the condition of its property estate.

The current condition survey programme is anticipated to cover approximately 672 operational property assets in total, excluding ground lease assets and other property categories outside the scope of this procurement. Information is required on the following split:

• 4 Business Centres
• 28 Offices
• 233 Retail
• 402 Industrial
• 5 Miscellaneous

By means of visual inspection, this contract aims to obtain consistent, accurate and actionable information regarding the physical condition, statutory compliance, risks, and investment needs of the buildings within the estate.

The resulting dataset will form the foundation of NLP’s future asset management, lifecycle investment, maintenance planning and portfolio optimisation activities. 

The objectives are to:

• Establish the current physical condition of each property asset defined.
• Identify defects, risks, and compliance issues.
• Provide an assessment of each asset’s life.
• Provide prioritised maintenance actions (year 1-5, with year 1 being the faults in most urgent need of attention).
• Provide costs as a basis for estimating and to identify the level of funding required for future capital and revenue expenditure.
• Provide sufficient information to allow a maintenance programme to be developed over a planned period that will support operational planning and asset management decision making
• Deliver the condition survey in accordance with mandatory professional standards.
