XP Surveys sponsors YADA at London Build Expo

All Posts

Posted 17/01/2024

News

We were thrilled to be invited to collaborate with YADA at the London Build Expo in 2023 by sponsoring the launch of their first ‘Speed Mentoring’ event.

The Young Architects & Developers Alliance (YADA) was founded in 2016 by Martyn Evans (Property Developer) and Jane Duncan (former President of RIBA) and was formed as a networking organisation to allow opportunities and growth for upcoming architects and property developers.

For XP Surveys’ Founder & Director, Ben Richards, who began his career as an architect and found his way to property development, YADA holds a special place in his past:

‘I was so happy to find a group of like-minded architects and developers to network with, grow my contacts and give incredible insights in to the industry. That group was YADA.’

As experienced specialists in measured surveys and topographical surveys, we strive to support architects and developers in their planning and design at the very outset of their project, so it was a privilege to meet so many passionate people in this sector who we look forward to hearing more from in the future!

With XP Surveys sponsoring and Ben attending as a mentor, it was great to be a part of such a fantastic event, at a wonderful venue, supporting this community of budding professionals.

How Drone Roof Surveys Can Save Time & Money for Property Owners

Maintaining a property’s roof can be costly, especially when traditional inspection methods involve scaffolding, extended timelines, and hefty labour charges. However, drone roof surveys are transforming how property owners approach roof assessments — offering a faster, safer, and more cost-effective solution.
