Roche carried out a building survey on Grade I Listed former yarn mill for Jarrolds
Roche was engaged to carry out a comprehensive Building Survey to evaluate the condition of a Grade I Listed former yarn mill including the building fabric and any legal or regulatory issues facing the property.
Upon receiving instructions, the property was surveyed within two weeks and the findings were reported on within four weeks.
Located on Whitefriars in Norwich, the historical building was originally constructed as a yarn mill. Over its lifetime, it has been used for a variety of purposes and currently provides office accommodation over ground and five upper floors offering circa 28,000 sq. ft. of office and conferencing space.
A detailed survey report was provided to ensure the client is fully aware of the condition of the property and the challenges facing it over the coming years. All recommendations were accompanied by cost estimates, giving the client an extensive overview of the condition of the property, any works required to rectify issues and plan for the future being fully informed.
David Hall, Partner overseeing building surveying, commented: “It was fantastic to be involved in such a historically significant property and to be able to advise the client on the best strategies for its future preservation.”
