Our Services

Lapider offers a comprehensive range of building surveying services, including:

Building Surveys

Our building surveys provide a thorough, detailed visual inspection of the property, followed by a comprehensive written report outlining the condition of the property and recommendations for repairs. These surveys are often carried out on behalf of clients as pre-acquisition surveys, enabling you to make informed decisions regarding residential or commercial property purchases.
