At NI Surveys, we provide building and rooftop condition surveys for commercial, industrial and mixed-use properties across Northern Ireland. Our RICS Chartered Surveyors deliver detailed, evidence-based reports to help property owners, asset managers and investors plan effective maintenance, manage risk and safeguard long-term asset value.
Our surveys assess the structure, materials and overall condition of your building — including external façades, walls, and roof structures. Using drone-assisted inspections where required, we identify defects, water ingress and deterioration that could impact safety or performance, providing photographic documentation and costed repair advice.
Our building condition and rooftop surveys form a key part of effective asset management. Whether acquiring, leasing or maintaining a property, we help you understand your building’s current performance, likely future costs and compliance status — enabling smarter investment decisions and reduced long-term liability.

NI Surveys provided us with an excellent, well-detailed survey full of illustrations, pictures and helpful advice. The communication from the company was excellent, they were always at hand for a quick phonecall or to help clarify anything I didn't understand, and they were competitively priced. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a home report or full survey in Belfast (and beyond!). Thank you very much.
