MEP CONDITION SURVEYS
MEP CONDITION SURVEYS OVERVIEW
Our MEP Condition Survey and Validation Service provides a structured and technically robust assessment of existing Mechanical, Electrical and Public Health systems within buildings.
We undertake detailed inspections, testing and performance verification to establish:
-
Current asset condition and remaining life expectancy
-
Compliance with relevant legislation and standards
-
Operational performance and efficiency
-
Safety risks and statutory obligations
-
Immediate and future capital expenditure requirements
Our surveys go beyond a visual review. Where required, we carry out functional testing, sample testing and system validation to ensure systems are not only present — but performing as intended.
The outcome is a clear, prioritised report identifying:
-
Critical compliance risks
-
Defects and deterioration
-
Efficiency improvement opportunities
-
Decarbonisation potential
-
Recommended remedial works (with budget cost guidance if required)
Where remedial works are identified, Compass MEP can support with design development, specification, procurement, installation and project management — providing a seamless route from survey to solution.
Whether you are acquiring a building, planning refurbishment, preparing for lease, or managing an existing estate, our MEP condition surveys provide the clarity required for informed decision-making.
