Welcome from Andrew McColl
Hello, and thank you for visiting AMSurveys.
I’m Andrew McColl, a 62-year-old Chartered building engineer and Surveyor based just outside Billericay in Essex. With over four decades of experience in construction and residential property, I’ve built a career dedicated to helping homebuyers make confident, informed decisions.
After starting out in the building industry straight from school, I now specialise in affordable and comprehensive home surveys for buyers who want clarity, peace of mind, and genuine value. Together with my small, close-knit team, we operate as fully independent surveyors — with no corporate handcuffs or shareholder pressures — allowing us to focus entirely on what's best for our clients.
We’ve built a strong reputation for personal service, attention to detail, and plain-speaking honesty. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or a seasoned investor, we take the time to explain our findings and their implications in clear, friendly language, rather than simply ticking boxes and moving on.
Speed, reliability, and responsiveness are the cornerstones of our service. But what sets us apart is our care. We don’t just send out surveys — we follow through. We’re always happy to talk through any part of the report with you, and our support doesn’t stop when the document lands in your inbox.
All of our surveyors are accredited and qualified members of the Residential Property Surveyors Association (RPSA) — the UK’s leading professional body for independent surveyors. In fact, I’m currently proud to serve as the Chairman of the RPSA, having also led the national surveyor panel for several years. Through this role, I’ve worked closely with industry leaders, the New Homes Quality Board, The Property Ombudsman, and other key stakeholders to raise standards across the profession, advocate for consumer protection, and promote the value of independent surveys in a challenging housing market.
We’re also registered with The Property Ombudsman Scheme, ensuring your protection, transparency, and professional accountability at every step.
So whether you’re buying a doer-upper or your forever home, AMSurveys is here to help you look beyond the glossy brochure and uncover what really matters.
If you'd like to discuss your property in a friendly chat, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
