    Funding

    Supported by the RICS Research Trust, this on-going research project aims to investigate the application of property flood resilience (PFR) to commercial buildings. A survey of a range of commercial property owners (e.g. office, retail and industrial) located in flood prone locations is to be undertaken to examine their flood history and experience, recovery process, the availability of suitable technical interventions and, importantly, the views of the key stakeholders. The findings from this research will help to inform future flood risk policy towards the protection of commercial properties. It would also provide useful guidance to commercial property owners on how to improve their flood resilience.
