School site survey scope
A site survey package is rarely one document; it is a bundle. For a CIF condition bid the package usually runs topo, measured, condition, R&D2 asbestos and M&E adequacy. Pricing each line transparently keeps the budget honest.
What the package contains
Topographical survey (£2,000-£6,000), measured building survey (£3,500-£15,000 depending on area), condition survey (£3,000-£12,000), R&D2 asbestos survey (£4,000-£12,000), M&E adequacy report (£2,500-£8,000) [source: HSE HSG264, verified 2026-06-24].
Mandatory for CIF
R&D2 asbestos and condition survey are mandatory for any CIF condition bid. Topo and measured are mandatory where the works alter building geometry [source: CIF 2025-26 guide, verified 2026-06-24].
Who carries out each
Topo: specialist topo surveyor. Measured: specialist measured-survey practice. Condition: chartered building surveyor. R&D2 asbestos: UKAS-accredited asbestos surveyor. M&E adequacy: M&E consultancy.
