Value is generated through the development, creation, operation, and ownership of sports and leisure facilities.

Specialisation in the conversion of buildings previously used for other purposes, such as shops or community hospitals, into residential dwellings is also offered. Schemes for residential plots at prime site locations are developed, and detailed plans for the renovation of listed buildings are meticulously measured and created.

Digital Innovations

We are experts in maximising value from technology assets and can provide advice, insights, training, and change programmes to help you and your workforce become more digitally productive. This has helped organisations we have worked with manage the transition to hybrid and working from home more seamlessly.

We have expertise in strategy formulation and using techniques such as Value Proposition Design and Impact Mapping to facilitate strategy brainstorming sessions for our clients.  We recently ran an OGSM brainstorming workshop for a client which enabled them to formulate their Objectives, Goals, Strategies and Measures for the next 3 years.  We followed this up with a test and challenge session to assess how SMART the strategy was before facilitating the production of the annual implementation plan.

Office & Workspace

We conduct comprehensive building surveys to identify the upgrading works required to adhere to current legislation standards. Detailed reports with financial analyses are prepared to assess properties’ liabilities at lease end. We provide project management and full architectural design services ensuring projects are delivered efficiently and to the highest standards.

We also offer detailed appraisals, utilising our in-house estate software package to produce thorough condition surveys and forward maintenance plans. This approach ensures that all aspects of office and workspace management are comprehensively addressed, from compliance and safety to financial planning and long-term maintenance. Our commitment to excellence and meticulous attention to detail make us a trusted partner for organisations looking to optimise their office and workspace environments.

Religious Establishments & Community

We conduct detailed surveys, such as those required for converting listed establishments into functional community settings, like transforming an old Grade 2 listed chapel into a library. Our services include improving access to churches, assisting with grant applications, and managing the construction phase. Additionally, we offer comprehensive services to ensure safety and compliance, addressing the unique needs of religious and community buildings.

Our approach is designed to preserve the historical and cultural significance of these structures while enhancing their usability for the community. By providing tailored solutions and expert guidance, we help organisations maintain and improve their religious and community buildings, ensuring they remain vibrant and accessible spaces for all.

Hurley & Davies’ personal support and professional attitude is to be applauded, especially when we came across existing building issues and in particular problems with fire compartmentation. You have supported me throughout the works and I thank you for this.

We were commissioned to provide building surveying services to prepare a Schedule of Condition for a prospective tenant’s new lease. Our survey included a thorough examination of the property, detailing its condition according to standard RICS Condition Ratings.

Using drone technology, we captured high-level and roof details, focusing on potential problem areas under the guidance of an experienced building surveyor.

The survey report included descriptive text supported by photographs, highlighting any areas of disrepair at the time of inspection. The final Schedule of Condition was formatted to align with the lease document, helping to protect the tenant from future dilapidation claims by the landlord.
