About Alturascope

Alturascope is a specialised site-reality partner for landlords, funds, and occupiers across the U.S. and Canada. We turn messy, real-world spaces into clear, decision-ready visuals and reports you can trust for design, budgeting, and approvals.

Why this work is a good use of funds

Our as-built surveys are designed to be a small line item that protects the big ones: design fees, construction spend, lease commitments, and opening dates. They turn “we think” into “we know” before you commit. Read the full reasoning.

What we do

As-Built Site Reality

One visit to capture how a space truly is today so design and budgets start from reality, not assumptions.

  • Digital twin and photo storyboard
  • Fixture & services counts
  • Detailed conditions report with upsides & concerns

Construction Progress

Independent eyes on your build so pay apps, change orders, and hand-over decisions are grounded in evidence.

  • Fixed-route progress photos & notes
  • Issues & exceptions log
  • Reality-check against programme and draws

Portfolio & Lease Diligence

Comparable reality checks across multiple buildings so you can shortlist, renew, or relocate with confidence.

  • Like-for-like site summaries
  • Access, loading, and context call-outs
  • Red flags and hidden-cost indicators

How we work

Simple, repeatable steps on every engagement.

  1. 01. Scope

    Clarify the decision

    We align on what you’re deciding (renew, relocate, fund, phase, etc.) and what your team needs to see in order to move.

  2. 02. Mobilise

    Lock dates & access

    Using a national flight pass, we book travel, coordinate with building management, and confirm any out-of-hours requirements.

  3. 03. Capture

    Walk, measure, record

    On site we follow a disciplined route, capturing structure, services, access and anything likely to affect design, cost, or schedule.

  4. 04. Deliver

    Turn into decisions

    You receive a digital twin, labelled photos, and a detailed report with fixture counts, a high-level mechanical overview, and prioritised recommendations.

Coverage & turnarounds

  • Nationwide coverage across the U.S. & Canada
  • Travel underpinned by an unlimited flight pass for predictable mobilisation
  • Standard delivery window typically within a few business days of site access
  • Rush, evening, and weekend options where timelines are tight

What you receive every time

  • Digital twin or 360° walkthrough of the space
  • Photo storyboard labelled by area and topic
  • Counts for key fixtures and services
  • Notes on access, loading, vertical transport, and neighbors
  • Detailed written report with fixture counts and a high-level mechanical / services overview
  • Upside opportunities and concerns clearly highlighted
  • Recommendations prioritised (P1 / P2 / P3) so teams know what to act on first

Who we serve

Alturascope is built for teams who make decisions on space at scale:

Landlords & asset managers Office & workplace teams Retail & clinic roll-outs Private equity & lenders Design-build & GC partners

Typical use cases include pre-lease diligence, renewal vs. relocation decisions, expansion programmes, and independent progress verification.

Our standards

  • No “clipboard tourism” – every visit is scoped against a clear decision.
  • Consistent capture routes so multi-site data lines up like-for-like.
  • Clear separation of fact, risk, and opinion in every report.
  • Calm, professional conduct on site – we represent your brand.

Leadership

Alturascope is led by Andrew Harris, a hands-on site specialist with deep experience in commercial fit-outs across the U.K., U.S., and Canada. Andrew brings a mix of practical trades knowledge and years of surveying complex office, retail, and clinic spaces for landlords, funds, and occupiers.

The goal is simple: translate on-the-ground reality into clear, decision-ready outputs for teams who don’t have the time to walk every site themselves.
