tree surveying

[wrekin tree care]

Hi All after abit of advice i have been asked to do a tree survey for a company on one mature oak tree that is close to some foundations of a new build. I have been doing tree work for 12 years and just set up on my own and this is the first time i have been asked to survey. My question is do i require any tree inspection certificates etc my theory qualifications are:

 

Rfs cert arb (the theory Part)

and im in my last year of my foundation degree at myerscough college (on-line)

 

Should i wait to achieve my degree before taking on surveys?

 

any advice would be appreciated

I think the simplest answer to this is: are you confident that you will know what to look for and how to write the required report?

 

If you're not, get an experienced consultant in for this and wait until your confidence and qualifications are improved.
