That’s why we’ve partnered with Gateley Smithers Purslow (GSP) a multidisciplinary consultancy with over 45 years’ experience in surveying and engineering to provide our clients with independent, expert building surveys, including value engineering to help mitigate underinsurance and support successful claim outcomes.
