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 based in Shrewsbury and Telford, spanning building surveys, dilapidations, defects diagnosis and design. A purchase that grows into construction can stay with one team. This review rates that span as its standout feature.
No customer reviews sit behind Record Associates on the sources we hold, so this review judges the published record alone. The RICS listings for both offices and the long company record stand behind it instead. This review reads the absence of feedback as a gap, not a verdict.
What else counts against it is pricing detail: no fees, VAT position or insurance details are published. Our judgement: it suits briefs where surveying may lead into project management or design work.
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 [2] [3]. The gaps are public feedback, with no reviews on record, plus unpublished fees and insurance details.
