Surveying and Strategic Advice
Provision of surveys, studies and strategic advice to support the occupation of the government estate, providing technical due diligence where required.
Clear, independent advice to support confident property decisions
Managing a commercial or public sector estate requires more than individual surveys or isolated professional opinions. It demands informed judgement, strong governance and the ability to translate technical information into clear, commercially sound decisions.
SPG provides senior surveying-led strategic advice across property portfolios, acting as a trusted advisor to owners, investors and public bodies. We bring together technical insight, commercial understanding and governance discipline to help clients understand their assets, manage risk and plan for the future with confidence.
Our role is not simply to commission surveys, but to act as the intelligent client—defining scope, interpreting outputs and ensuring advice leads to practical, value-driven action.
