We prepare and negotiate Schedules of Dilapidation, including pricing the schedule and settling the claim. As well as Schedules of Condition to assess a property at a specific point in time, such as at the commencement of ownership or leasing.
Party Wall matters
With a detailed understanding of the Party Wall Etc. Act 1996, we provide reliable and expert advice to those contemplating works or those affected by proposed works, acting for building owners and adjoining owners as appropriate and also as the agreed surveyor. We then negotiate and issue Party Wall Awards.
Defect analysis
Our varied experience across many different building types and construction methods gives us the insight needed to carry out detailed building pathology and analyse any building defects. We accurately pinpoint the cause and potential effects of any issue found, before recommending effective and practical solutions to put them right.
Expert witness
Our expert witness reports provide expert, unbiased advice on construction and property-related disputes. Addressing issues such as professional negligence in surveys, design and administration, defective building works, and buildings in disrepair.
