Assess the current condition of the building (including a structural survey by an experienced structural engineer) 3. Obtain scoping surveys from qualified ecologists to assess the habitat value of the site 4. Identify and detail the work required to repair the fabric to allow the building to continue in agricultural use, based on three criteria of urgent, necessary and desirable - annotated photographs or rectified photography preferred so that the proposed works can be presented in a visual way to owners, tenants and funders 5. Draw up a detailed schedule of works that could be used in a future tender pack 6. Obtain estimates for the work from an experienced Quantity Surveyor All sites are located on or form part of working farm businesses.
