WHy Powers

Surveying, supercharged

From pioneering technology to forward-thinking consultancy, Powers keeps projects moving.

Our People, Our Superpower

We’re not just surveyors, we’re problem-solvers, map-makers, and occasional biscuit-bringers. Every project runs better when you’ve got the right people on your side.

What We’re Made Of

Our team is highly skilled and competent, with over 55 years experience in measured surveys, across a diverse range of projects. There’s not much we haven’t seen or any problems we can’t solve!

Forward-Thinking

Always two steps ahead, never stuck in the past.

Innovative

If there’s a smarter way to do it, we’ll find it.

Investing in Tomorrow, Today

We don’t just keep up with technology, we stay ahead of it – because the right tools mean better results for you. Here’s what that investment brings:

Lightning-fast turnaround times

Pinpoint accuracy, no second-guessing

Future-proof data formats that plug straight into BIM, CAD and GIS systems

Certified. Verified. Powers-Approved.

We are ISO 9001 (Quality), ISO 45001 (Health & Safety) and ISO 14001 (Environmental) certified by a UKAS accredited organisation. These accreditations prove we don’t just talk a good game; we’re independently recognised for quality, safety and environmental standards across the board.

Powering towards a greener future

Going Carbon Neutral

We are fully committed to supporting the Government’s Carbon Net Zero commitments. Since 2013, we’ve compiled an annual environmental risk assessment, which reviews our entire carbon impact, both in the office and on site, and sets annual goals to reduce it. We also understand the importance of leaving a site in the same condition as we found it.

Protecting People

We are a family-owned and run business. The safety of our team, our customers and the general public is paramount. Our commitment to health and safety, and best practice is driven through our ISO 45001 certification, and at the heart of everything we do.

Working Responsibly

Powers is your integrated survey partner, providing all of your survey needs. We are committed to reducing the risks of quality, environmental and health and safety accidents, and incidents on site, providing you with total peace of mind throughout your project.

Our Supply Chain

As a business, we expect the same level of client commitment, understanding and experience from all our supply chain as we would from our ourselves, to ensure we maintain your confidence in us. We have robust processes and procedures in place, to ensure that this is always the case.

Our Supply Chain

Developing People

We are committed to providing a high-quality service and are supporting the move to upskilling members of the construction and surveying industry. We support our team in their individual personal development journey and have developed an internal training programme that is based around the Chartered Institute of Civil Engineering Surveyors (CICES) core competencies.

Charitable Work

Periodically, Powers work for charitable causes. We spend time researching the companies that we can add value to and enjoy the opportunity to give back when we can. We have provided skills donations in the form of measured surveys and administrative time to projects that we believe would most benefit from our help. We also encourage our team to fundraise for charities that are important to both them and us.

50 Years of Trusted Partnerships

We’ve engaged Powers on survey projects in the past and have always been very impressed with their efficiency and professionalism. They share our ambition and we were able to communicate directly with the owner and discuss our requirements for this complex and large scale project.
