Transactional pressure
Acquisitions, refinancings and dilapidations claims run to fixed legal timelines. Duty holders need qualified consultants who can mobilise inside 48 hours and produce defensible, lender-ready findings.
Independent advice · Offices, retail & multi-let estates
Independent asbestos consultancy for commercial real estate.
As Elements Surveying Group, we advise some of the country's most demanding commercial landlords on portfolio-wide asbestos strategy. Our role is consultancy before sales: we recommend the right course of action — not the largest scope of work — across single City of London assets and national multi-let estates alike.
Sector challenges
What makes asbestos compliance hard in commercial real estate.
Multi-let complexity
Shared services, decades of tenant alterations and undocumented fit-outs make accurate registers difficult to maintain — and the risk of inadvertent disturbance by contractors very real.
Reputation & ESG
Boards, lenders and investment committees now expect documented, independently evidenced CAR 2012 compliance across the entire managed estate, not a one-off survey on file.

FAQs
Commercial Real Estate — common questions.
Do you work to landlord and tenant frameworks?
Yes. We hold master service agreements with several institutional landlords and managing agents, with agreed SLAs, rate cards and reporting templates — and the independence to push back where the right answer is to do less, not more.
Can you mobilise within a week?
For most instructions in our coverage area, yes. Reports are typically issued within 48–72 hours following the survey and receipt of laboratory results where sampling is required.
