Services
Party Wall Surveys
Our RICS-accredited surveyors provide impartial party wall agreements and dispute resolution. We assess structural impacts, draft awards, and ensure compliance with the Party Wall etc. Act 1996. Clients benefit from clear documentation to prevent legal conflicts during construction projects.
Condition Surveys
Detailed evaluations of residential and commercial properties identify defects, maintenance needs, and reinstatement costs. We deliver photographic evidence and prioritised repair schedules, enabling informed decisions for property transactions or insurance claims.
Building Dispute Resolution
We resolve disputes through expert witness testimony, independent assessments, and negotiation support. Our RICS-regulated reports clarify liability and remedial actions, ensuring fair outcomes for clients involved in construction or property conflicts.
Planned Maintenance
Tailored maintenance programmes for residential blocks and commercial estates optimise asset longevity. We assess building elements, forecast costs, and prioritise works, helping clients budget effectively while maintaining property value.
Schedule of Condition
