Material Index Audits & Passports.
Pre-demolition audits (PDAs) are surveys by independent specialists prior to deconstruction, refurbishment, redevelopment or demolition, cataloguing the building, structure, surfaces and FF&E in scope and assessing each item for reclamation and reuse. We offer a range of audit services that range in price and scope to meet policy and BREEAM compliance, support sustainable site clearance and increase reuse.
Typical turnaround: On site within 5 days. Report within a week.
