Who it is for
A clearer route from survey report to decision
The planner is designed for UK buyers who already have a professional survey and need an organised route from the report to a properly informed pre-commitment decision.
As a result, you can separate what needs clarification from what needs pricing, legal enquiry or specialist investigation.
What makes it useful
- Separates urgent, pre-commitment, planned and monitor-only actions
- Keeps questions for the surveyor, specialists and legal adviser distinct
- Makes quotation scope, assumptions and exclusions easier to compare
- Totals the allowances and figures you enter without pretending to estimate repair costs
- Carries unresolved actions into the first 90 days of ownership

Digital format & compatibility
This is a digital download only, so no physical item is supplied. The customer ZIP contains printable A4 and fillable PDF files, an editable .xlsx workbook, instructions, a licence and an exact manifest.
Because PDF apps behave differently, test a short fillable entry, save it, close the file and reopen it before relying on the form.
Meanwhile, spreadsheet formula cells remain protected while designated working cells stay editable. The PDFs are not represented as fully tagged accessible PDFs, and customer working files are supplied blank.
The method
Use it in four clear steps
- Transfer each material survey finding into the register.
- Assign the correct question, legal enquiry or specialist investigation.
- Gather comparable evidence, scope and quotations.
- Review the entered allowances and open issues before contractual commitment.
In practice, this helps prevent a long survey report from becoming an unstructured list of worries.
Professional authorship
Built from real surveying and design practice
Created by Mark Tutton — a practising building surveyor and architectural designer.
Mark holds an MSc in Building Surveying and a BSc (Hons) in Architectural Design & Technology. He is also MRPSA and ACABE. Therefore, the planner draws on a technical background spanning residential surveying, building defects and architectural design.
However, Hunter Ellis does not claim endorsement by RICS, RPSA, CABE or another professional body through this product. Qualifications and memberships identify the author’s technical background rather than third-party approval of the planner.
Important professional boundary
An organiser — not a reinterpretation of the survey
These resources are organisational and educational aids. They do not inspect, diagnose, value, design, certify or approve a property.
Likewise, they do not provide legal, engineering, electrical, gas, fire-safety or other specialist advice. Therefore, obtain appropriately qualified property-specific advice before making financial, legal or safety decisions.
The planner helps you record the surveyor’s meaning and prepare focused questions. It does not reinterpret the report, diagnose the property or estimate repair costs.
For the same reason, Hunter Ellis does not claim endorsement by RICS, RPSA, CABE or another professional body through this product.
Before you buy
Frequently asked questions
Will it interpret my survey report?
No. Instead, it organises the report’s findings and helps you prepare questions for the surveyor and other advisers.
Does the workbook estimate repair costs?
No. It totals allowances and figures that you enter. Therefore, it does not generate or validate repair estimates.
Can I compare quotations?
Yes. The planner gives you one consistent place to compare scope, assumptions, exclusions and figures. As a result, differences between quotations are easier to identify.
Can I type into the files?
Yes. The pack includes a fillable PDF and an editable protected Excel workbook. However, test saving in your chosen PDF app before relying on it.
Is it suitable after purchase?
Yes. Open actions can move into the first 90 days of ownership. However, make the key buying decisions with the relevant professional and legal advice before commitment.
