For the UK's construction industry, April 2024 will be a month to remember. The Building Safety Act 2022 entered into force on 28 April 2022 and was accompanied by a number of regulations. However, any building work that had previously been covered by the transitional provisions, but has not yet been started, will be subject to the new regime from 6 April 2024.

The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) has released its UK residential Survey covering the month of September 2023. The report depicts the continuation of a challenging market backdrop, with interest rates continuing to hamper mortgage affordability, and the disparity between tightening lettings supply and rising demand causing rental price rises.

Working at Surventrix, I've discussed value-based pricing for surveyors frequently lately, always explaining that pricing is more about value than cost.

This is especially relevant to surveyors starting their own business, or experienced businesses looking to increase pricing yet remain competitive.

There has always been a question of when and how to raise prices without sending clients running to your competitors. The topic is especially relevant at the moment. 

To go from £250k to £500k is an ambitious goal for any small business. In your Surveying Firm, it’s no longer all about you, but about how well the team works together. These challenges often prevent small surveying firms from growing beyond £200k. As a surveyor, you can implement several strategies to grow your business and expand your client base.

Here are the latest release notes for Surventrix in June 2023. This overview provides a detailed update of all the new features, enhancements and fixes based on your feedback that will be released today.
