Key Areas of Practice
Building Condition Surveys
Understanding the condition of a property is essential for acquisition, leasing, development, or investment. From identifying disrepair to evaluating compliance and suitability, we provide actionable insights, including estimated remediation costs, to support informed decision-making.
Design, Specification, and Contract Administration
We believe property projects—whether new construction, refurbishment, or renovation—should be exciting and rewarding. With extensive experience, we create bespoke design solutions that meet client, and end-user needs while maintaining strict control over programme, cost, and quality.
Dilapidations
The complexities of dilapidations can be daunting for property owners and occupiers. With evolving legal precedents and specific lease requirements, our specialist team simplifies the process, offering expert guidance tailored to your circumstances.
Party Wall Services
Navigating the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 can be complex, with numerous notice requirements and potential pitfalls. We provide expert advice and assistance to ensure compliance and minimise risk throughout the process.
Contract Administration & Employer’s Agent
Cost, time, and quality are the pillars of successful project delivery. With our combined expertise in design, specification, and construction contract management, we ensure your project is delivered efficiently, whether through traditional procurement or design-and-build methods.
Schedules of Condition
Leasing commercial property often comes with significant repairing obligations. Our comprehensive schedules of condition help safeguard tenants from costly claims at lease expiry by documenting the property’s condition accurately at the outset.
