We recently instructed Trevor Howe from Johnson Gillies to conduct a survey prior to purchasing our first house. We would like to thank him for providing us with thorough report and at short notice. We found him to be very warm and helpful when we called to talk about the survey, which was greatly appreciated during the often daunting process of purchasing a house.

Building surveying is one of the widest areas of surveying practice. We have worked on thousands of projects and earned a wealth of experience for both residential and commercial.
