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.

Do I Need As-Built Survey and a Structural Engineer to Remove or Build Walls?

The short answer If the wall is load bearing, you need a structural engineer. That is not optional: Building Regulations require structural calculations for removing or altering a load bearing wall, and building control will ask for them. A measured building survey is not a legal requirement, but it is what makes the engineer’s design […]

Heat Loss Survey and Measured Building Survey Combined

A heat loss calculation is only as accurate as the dimensions behind it. Pairing a heat loss survey with a measured building survey gives designers, architects and heating engineers a single, reliable dataset for retrofits, extensions and low carbon heating design. A measured building survey records the exact geometry of a property. A heat loss […]

Accurate Cross Sections and Reflected Ceiling Plans for Structural and MEP Coordination

How laser-scanned cross sections and reflected ceiling plans give structural and M&E engineers reliable existing data for coordination, clash detection and buildable design. Every refurbishment, fit-out or services upgrade depends on one thing: knowing exactly what already exists. For structural and M&E engineers, assumed dimensions and outdated record drawings are one of the largest sources […]
