About PHD Building Advisory
With over 30 years of collective experience across Housing, Education, Industrial, Heritage and Healthcare sectors, our team of seasoned building surveyors and project managers blend expertise and passion to deliver exceptional property and construction services. Sustainable practices are at the core of everything that we do at PHD Building Advisory, guiding us to create environmentally responsible solutions for every project.
Our core service is commercial building surveying. This involves visiting sites, identifying property risks and issues, advising on why issues are occurring, and developing specifications for solutions. We also offer comprehensive project management services on projects ranging from tens of thousands up to 10 million, covering all aspects of your project, from initial design to project management, contract administration, and quantity surveying, ensuring a seamless process.
Impact
Sustainable and inclusive development is at the core of our business ethos, and we promote sustainable solutions across all of our projects. As part of our commitment to driving positive impact, we provide specialised advice to our clients, guiding them on how to enhance sustainability through the projects we deliver and the surveys we undertake. By integrating sustainable practices into our work, we contribute to a greener, more environmentally conscious built environment.
As an example, we are currently delivering a programme of works for a charity in Cornwall focussed on improving the sustainability and accessibility of their site as part of funds from the Good Growth Fund. We have also been instrumental in introducing green technologies to schools across the South West, in the form of Salix funded solar panels and air source heat pumps.
Our Environmental Commitment
COMPLY
Where possible, we promote energy certification across our projects, such as BREEAM, LEED or SKA ratings.
IMPROVE
Our core objective is to ensure that buildings perform as efficiently as possible. We bring practical reuse solutions to existing commercial buildings and residential housing stock, which are large contributors to the UK emissions total.
RECYCLE
We recycle all of our office food and paper waste.
REDUCE
As part of our commitment to minimising our carbon footprint, we have implemented energy-efficient practices within our own operations. We use smart metering to measure usage within the building and we promote lift sharing when travelling to sites.
