Building Surveys
in Sheffield

Designed, built & finished under one roof.
Before any design takes shape, you need to know what you’re working with. Our building surveys in Sheffield assess the condition of existing properties — walls, floors, structure and services — so renovations, extensions and new builds start from solid ground rather than assumptions. Understanding what’s already there is the surest way to reduce surprises later.
You deal with the same team from first visit to final fix. The people who survey your property are the people who help shape its design, so nothing is lost in handover. Where a formal or RICS-level survey is required, we work alongside the right specialists to make sure you have the right information.

How we work

We survey methodically and report plainly. Rather than handing over a document full of jargon, we explain what we’ve found and what it means for your plans — risks, opportunities and the practical implications for design and build. Because the same team carries your project forward, those findings feed straight into the work that follows.

Itemised, not guesstimated

What a survey costs
The scope of a survey depends on the property — its age, size, condition and how much detail your project needs. We set out what we’ll do and what it covers in a clear, itemised quote, so you can see exactly what you’re paying for rather than a vague estimate. Get in touch for a tailored quote based on your property and plans.

Our Award-Winning Approach

Our award-winning team offers a professional, fully insured, and completely personalised service. Whether it’s an open-plan living or an extra room to enjoy, we will utilise our knowledge using high-quality materials and the best workmanship, suited to your specific needs.

Our highly qualified team manages the entire process from start to finish. Using our in-house expertise and trusted partners, we take care of every design aspect of any transformation, from taking you initial ideas and turning them into drawings and designs that meet Building Regulations, to the final finishing touches.

The use of specialised materials to give your addition a smart and contemporary finish demonstrates the quality of our work. As specialists in high-end build projects, many of the materials we utilise are not available to other contractors and are chosen expressly for your design, resulting in a finish that complements your existing property and surroundings.

Enough about us, what do our clients say?

“Where to start! After purchasing our house late last year we were looking for a trustworthy and high quality company to support us through our renovation. Unity have made the whole process painless and enjoyable. From the guys who did our plastering and structural work (Jamie and Callum) through to our amazing Bathroom fitter and pro of all trades Jason, everyone was kind, patient and professional. Renovations can be overwhelming and intrusive, but we couldn’t have been made more comfortable by the team. We would recommend them to anyone looking for work done - absolutely flawless. Thank you for turning our house into a home. We will be back!”

Phoebe Perry

“We had a complete renovation of our 4 bedroom house including extension and change of floor plan. This large project involved regular discussion and detailed planning. We were very excited to understand Unity’s enthusiasm to deliver such an extensive project. During the long process, we found unity to be extremely thoughtful and driven to deliver our desired outcome. Elliot communicated well with us to carry out our vision and we had regular meetings to understand the scope. Adrian’s commitment to achieve the best possible standard is admirable. We found the Unity workforce very engaging with our young family and are extremely pleased with our end result. We couldn’t be happier with our home!!! Thank you!!!! ”

Dhivya John

“The team was professional, friendly, and clearly experts in their field from start to finish. The whole process was very collaborative. They took the time to really understand what we wanted and even suggested ideas that made the final design even better. Communication was excellent, and we were always kept in the loop on progress and costs. In fact, due to the collaborative nature of the company and having the flexible ability of the Cost Plus agreement, Unity came in under budget, meaning we actually received a saving on the initial projected cost. As you can see from the photos the quality of the work speaks for itself. The patio looks amazing, and the landscaping has completely transformed our outdoor space. You can tell they really care about the details, and we are so pleased to have our garden back from where it was before they started in the first photo! Our experience was nothing but positive, and we’re so happy with the work they did. We’ve already started planning our next project with them. As a homeowner it is really hard to find trustworthy professionals and sadly we have had experience of the some of the cowboys that are out there. However, it’s refreshing to work with a team that genuinely delivers on their promises and we feel we can trust. Unity Development Group is a rare find, and I can’t recommend them highly enough.”

Claire Morley

“Words cannot describe how fortunate we have been to have Elliot and his team working on our house renovation project. Consistently demonstrating exceptional levels of knowledge, commitment and professionalism. Furthermore, the level of communication flow has been excellent throughout. It is clear that they are perfectionists with a wealth of knowledge and skills within the team, excellent leadership and are client-centred: sharing their expertise while harmonising with client expectations. We have recommended Unity to several of our friends who have already jumped on board (or pending) and we all share the same feeling. If you are looking for a team at the top of their game, to help make your home perfect, then I believe it would be difficult to find a team stronger than Unity.”

Hey Long Ching

“Would highly recommend Unity. Elliot, Adrian and all the team that worked on our home improvements were so friendly, professional and skilled at what they do. Our plans evolved during the project but Unity were flexible and happy to adapt to meet our requirements. Great company to deal with.”

Jayne Bacon

“Every member of his team was incredibly kind, patient in communication, and demonstrated a high level of responsibility. They handled every detail with care and completed the work to an outstanding standard. No matter the size of the request, they gave it full attention and dedication, ensuring the best possible outcome. Unity Development Group is the most reliable company I have encountered since arriving in the UK, and I am truly grateful to them. ”

Chloe Tong

“We have used these guys to renovate our first home and they have been excellent. They've always showed a great professionality and empathy and have walked us through a very stressful process very nicely. Super transparent, talkative and attentive, always watching the spending and trying their best to deliver a great service and finish respecting our budget. We can't recommend them enough!”
