Record Associates review

Ranked 7 of 10 in Chartered surveyors in Telford

Best for: building surveys and construction project management

Active

Trading as Record Associates 2012 Limited · Telford · Service area: Telford, Shrewsbury

Record Associates in short

Record Associates is a building surveying, project management and development consultancy working from Shrewsbury and Telford phone numbers [1] [2]. One consultancy covers building surveys, dilapidations, defects diagnosis, valuations and full project management [1]. An active limited company has stood behind it for well over a decade, and the firm holds RICS register listings for both offices [3] [4].

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 never has to change hands.

What counts against Record Associates is openness on money and cover: the site publishes no fees, no VAT position and no insurance details [1] [2]. Direct phone numbers, an email address and a contact form are all published, so reaching the team is straightforward [2].

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 The gaps are public feedback, with no reviews on record, plus unpublished fees and insurance details.
