For the next 12 months we will be posting a blog each month on members of the JYM Partnership team. This month we will be getting to know our newest member of the JYM Partnership team Carol.

Name                             Carol Scott

Position                         Office Manager

Started at JYM               November 2024

Fun Fact – Carol is a crazy cat lady and has 3 furry ones and refers to them as “her children” if its cat related then Carol is happy. She even has cat tattoo’s!

Interesting Fact – Carol travelled to New Zealand, Australia & Singapore in 2002 where she did gold panning, tried kayaking for the first time and climbed Franz Josef one of the glaciers in the south island of NZ. Carol wasn’t keen on Australia as it was too big, considering she’s only 5 foot tall that’s understandable! Oh, and Carol has also driven a Tank.

Likes – Cats (A LOT) and chocolate and wine and oh did I say wine?

Dislikes – Butter beans

Latest Projects – Cyber essentials, Constructionline, keeping the partners inline (What I think she means is assisting the partners with whatever they need). Keeping everything updated and ready for the ISO audits in July.

Previous Roles – Carol has worked in a variety of roles over the past 25 years incorporating accounts, payroll, HR, Office Management, ISO lead admin and PA to board of directors. Carol’s most recent experience has been working for an M&E Design Consultants and this experience fits in really well at JYM Partnership.  Carol ensures the office is running like a well oiled machine while the Partners, Building Surveyors & Architects carry on with their day to day roles and don’t need to worry about anything else.

Watch this space next month for our section on “Get to know our JYM Partnership team members”.

Over the last few years, drones have become an indispensable tool at JYM Partnership.  Making use of this technology allows us to improve our service offering and reduce safety risks.

Traditional building surveys can be time-consuming and resource intensive. They can require extensive equipment, scaffolding, and even multiple surveyors. In contrast, drones can cover large areas swiftly and accurately. This speed doesn’t just save time; it reduces costs and allows our surveyors to be more efficient.

Surveying large, inaccessible, or hazardous structures can pose significant safety risks.  By using drones, JYM’s surveyors can obtain detailed imagery and data from these areas without ever leaving the ground. This minimises the need for potentially dangerous manual inspections and keeps JYM surveyors safe while still gathering critical information.

Drones are ideal for inspecting hard-to-reach areas, like roofs, gutters, or tall façades. The ability to access remote areas quickly and safely means JYM’s surveyors can identify issues that might be missed using traditional methods and provide Clients with quick and effective advice on how to prevent or stop building fabric problems.

Below are a few Aerial Survey pictures taken using our drone by our Chartered Building Surveyors whilst out on inspections. A picture can speak a thousand words and clearly shows where roof works are required while the Surveyor keeps both feet firmly on the ground.
