Record Associates in short
Record Associates is a building surveying, project management and development consultancy working from Shrewsbury and Telford phone numbers. One consultancy covers building surveys, dilapidations, defects diagnosis, valuations and full project management. An active limited company has stood behind it for well over a decade, and the firm holds RICS register listings for both offices.
The two-office shape matters: Telford and Shrewsbury numbers with an email address and contact form, so clients on either side of the border reach the nearer desk. The service lines run from purchase surveys into design, defects work and managed construction. Our view: buyers planning works from day one get a surveyor who can stay on for the build. Continuity from survey to build is the selling point.
No public reviews are on record for Record Associates, so customers say nothing either way and our review rests on its spread and its checkable record. That spread is the point: a purchase survey that turns into design or project management stays in the same hands. The absence of reviews is a gap in evidence rather than a mark against the work.
What counts against Record Associates is openness on money and cover: the site publishes no fees, no VAT position and no insurance details. Direct phone numbers, an email address and a contact form are all published, so reaching the team is straightforward.
Our verdict
Our judgement: Record Associates suits you if your brief spans surveying and construction — a purchase survey that may lead into project management or design work [1]. The two RICS office listings and the 2012 company record support that picture [3] [4]. The gaps are public feedback, with no reviews on record, plus unpublished fees and insurance details.

Questions about Record Associates
Is Record Associates any good?
On the evidence, yes where purchase meets project: building surveys, dilapidations, defects diagnosis and full project management from one consultancy, with RICS listings for both offices and a company record stretching back well over a decade. No public reviews are on record. Design-and-build buyers fit here best. Weigh the early meetings carefully before instructing.
Is Record Associates on the RICS register?
Yes. The firm describes itself as a firm of Chartered Building Surveyors and holds RICS register listings for both its Telford and Shrewsbury offices, checked this September. Check the register listings against the name on the instruction letter. Both listings matter where two offices trade under one name. Match the office on the letter to the listing.
What does Record Associates charge?
It publishes no fees, rates or VAT position; the site invites enquiries through a contact form without prices. Project fees turn on the brief, so the written terms do the talking. Send the property details and the shape of the project with the first message. Ask for the fee basis, the VAT position and the scope before instructing.
Where does Record Associates work?
The consultancy works across Telford and Shrewsbury, with direct phone numbers for both offices plus an email address and a contact form. Cross-border buyers can approach the nearer desk first. The email route suits longer briefs with drawings attached. Send the property details and the shape of the project to confirm which office would lead.
How is Record Associates ranked?
It ranks seventh of the ten surveyors in our September round, chosen for building surveys with project management attached. No public reviews are on record, so read the register listings and the company record instead. Rank here reflects spread and record rather than customer feedback. Read the full review first.
How do I get a quote from Record Associates?
Use the contact form, email or either office phone, describing the property and the shape of any project behind it. Project fees turn on that brief, so expect a tailored fee basis. Drawings with the first message sharpen the fee basis. Get the fee basis, the VAT position and the scope agreed before instructing.
What do customers say about Record Associates?
Nothing in public: no reviews are on record, so customers say nothing either way. Our review rests instead on the service spread, the two register listings and the long company record. The spread across two offices shows a working consultancy. Weigh the early meetings carefully and judge the team on the first exchange.
