What the service covers
Four kinds of survey, one standard of evidence
01
Pre-underwriting & renewal surveys
The full picture an underwriter needs before quoting or renewing: construction, occupancy, protection and exposures, photographed and rated.
02
Loss-prevention & risk-improvement reviews
Where a risk is already insured, we identify what would most reduce the chance or size of a loss, ranked so remedial spend goes where it counts.
03
Acquisition & due-diligence condition surveys
Independent condition evidence for buyers, lenders and investors before funds move, covering structure, services and deferred maintenance.
04
Structured, insurer-ready reporting
Every finding lands in a consistent report format with photographs, priorities and an overall rating your underwriter can turn into terms.
The process
From instruction to report in days, not weeks
Every engagement runs on the same rails, so you always know what happens next and when the report will land.

Instruction & scoping
A short call to confirm the property, the purpose of the survey and the timetable. You receive a fixed scope and fee before anything else.
Desk review
We review plans, previous reports, policy schedules and any loss history, so the site visit is spent verifying on the ground, not discovering basics.
Site attendance
A structured walk-through with photographs and measurements, led by a surveyor. Lagos sites within 24 to 48 hours; other locations by arrangement.
Report & debrief
The completed report within 48 hours of the visit: findings, photographs, ranked recommendations and an overall rating, followed by a call if you want one.
Where we work
Lagos first, Nigeria-wide, West Africa on request
We are rooted in Lagos, which is where most instructions start. Surveyors travel for portfolios, acquisitions and renewals across the country and the region - same format, same timetable discipline, wherever the site is.

Common questions
Pre-loss survey FAQs
What is a pre-loss risk survey?
A pre-loss risk survey is an independent inspection of a property or operation before an insurance policy is written or renewed. It documents construction, occupancy, protection and exposures so insurers can price the risk accurately and owners can fix problems before they become claims.
When should a renewal risk survey be carried out?
Ideally six to eight weeks before the policy renews. That leaves time for the site visit, the report and any risk improvements the underwriter asks for, so renewal terms reflect the current condition of the risk rather than a survey that is several years old.
What does a Julimer survey report contain?
Every report follows a structured, insurer-ready format: site details and construction, occupancy and processes, fire protection and security, observed hazards with photographs, recommended risk improvements ranked by priority, and an overall survey rating. Reports are written to be actioned by underwriters, not filed away.
How quickly can you attend and report?
We aim to attend Lagos sites within 24 to 48 hours of instruction, and other Nigerian locations within a few days. Our target is a completed report within 48 hours of the site visit, and we always confirm a firm timetable before work starts.
Who uses the survey report?
The report is shared exactly as you instruct. Insurers and brokers use it to set terms, asset owners and lenders use it to plan capital work, and acquirers use it in due diligence. Because we are independent, the findings stand on their own.
Have a risk that needs eyes on it?
Send the property details and we will confirm scope, fee and a visit date - usually the same day you enquire.
