What is a BS5837 tree survey ?
First of all, what exactly is a BS5837 tree survey? Well, it is a report that, as the name suggests, is undertaken according to British Standard BS5837 (Trees in relation to design, demolition and construction). It is used to predict the impact of any construction work on the trees that are on site, and as a result, is an essential part of the planning stage of many projects.
When is a BS5837 tree survey needed?
Trees can have an effect on the design construction phase of a project, and they can have an effect on trees. If there are any trees on your site or nearby that could be impacted by your project, then you will need to have a BS5837 tree survey carried out before moving ahead.
What happens if you don’t have aBS5837 tree survey carried out? Well, you could be setting yourself up for some trouble in the long run. If you decide to cut corners and skip the survey, you could be forced to halt works, pay a fine or even face legal action. If any of the trees were covered by a TPO and you are found to have damaged them, then you will have committed a criminal offence. It’s much better to tick all of the boxes and just have the survey conducted by a member of our expert team.
How we work
Your survey will be carried out by one of our experienced and fully qualified tree surgeons. They will make a record of the species, measurements such as the height and stem diameter and overall condition of the tree. They will then be able to present any management recommendations, giving you a clear idea of what needs to be done going forward. Your tree survey BS5837 data can be plotted onto a site survey or a map, helping you to better visualise what action should be taken. This can also be passed on to architects and construction workers.
Delivering value for money
The cost of a BS5837 tree survey is going to depend on the number of trees that need to be surveyed on your site.
