Hey Trevor
I hope you are well?
I have taken over a site which has a custom-coded search which is completely useless and I would like to replace with S&F Pro. If I was to send you the code for the page please could you advise the best way to implement please?
Thanks
Paul

You may need to use Relevanssi (a free plugin) to enhance what data that search bar (text box) can search:

The sidebar form appears to contain three custom taxonomies:
Contracts Type
Member Type
RegionsIf they are not set up that way, they will need to be (as separate custom taxonomies). You should be able to add one or more ‘Taxonomy’ fields to the Form UI, then in each field settings section, you can select the specific taxonomy you need to filter by. For example:

Are the members a custom post type, or did the site designer add them as posts?
How are you going to make the grid? Are you going to use a PHP template, or a Page Builder? If you are going to use a Page Builder, I would suggest looking at Elementor Pro. We have a integration for that:
https://searchandfilter.com/documentation/3rd-party/elementor/ (there is an extension plugin at the top of that guide that you can download)
One advantage of using page builders like Elementor Pro, is that you can use it with pretty much any theme (I can use it with their free Hello theme for example). No need to buy a premium theme.
