Services
Project Management
Our project management services ensure timely, budget-conscious delivery of construction, refurbishment, and fit-out projects. We provide end-to-end coordination, risk management, and strategic procurement advice while maintaining compliance with health and safety regulations. Clients benefit from our single-point responsibility approach, integrating design, contractor oversight, and client reporting to achieve their objectives.
CDM 2015 Principal Designer
We fulfill the Principal Designer role under CDM 2015 regulations, guiding clients through legal obligations and pre-construction planning. Our services include site risk assessments, pre-construction information packs, and coordination of safety documentation. We ensure projects meet health and safety standards from inception to completion, working closely with contractors and clients to mitigate risks.
Schedules of Condition
We produce detailed written and photographic schedules of condition to limit liability for landlords, tenants, or parties involved in adjacent construction. These reports document property status at a specific time, excluding defect analysis, and are used for lease negotiations or pre-development records. Our reports incorporate referenced photographic evidence for clarity and legal protection.
Dilapidations
Our dilapidations services identify lease covenant breaches related to repair and reinstatement obligations. We prepare detailed schedules, cost assessments, and negotiate settlements between landlords and tenants in accordance with Property Litigation Association protocols. Clients receive actionable reports to resolve disputes or claim damages arising from lease non-compliance.
Party Wall Advice
We provide expert guidance under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996, preparing notices, awards, and schedules of condition for building and adjoining owners. Our services include dispute resolution, interim inspections, and third-surveyor appointments. Clients benefit from our membership in the Pyramus & Thisbe Club, ensuring adherence to best practices in party wall legislation.
