About
Construction-led commercial surveying.
Independent commercial surveying for London & the South East, founded on 13 years of hands-on building experience.
Our story
Built on the tools first.
Most surveyors go straight from university to the clipboard. Our founder spent 13 years in construction as a contractor before moving into surveying.
That hands-on background is the whole point of Dawes & Co. We’ve stood on the scaffolding, managed the trades and seen what quietly goes wrong on real buildings, so our surveys are grounded in how things are actually built, not just the theory.
Dawes & Co is regulated by RICS.
What we stand for
Real experience
13 years on-site means we know how buildings actually work, not just how they look on paper.
Straight talking
Clear reports, honest advice, no unnecessary jargon.
Approachable
Friendly, responsive and genuinely helpful, never stuffy.
Thorough
Every survey is carried out carefully and documented in full.
Capacity
More than a one-person firm.
While Dawes & Co is founder-led, we draw on a trusted network of associates and contractors for larger instructions and multi-site portfolios, so we can scale to the job while keeping the same hands-on standard.
