How we can help you
Whether you are purchasing or leasing a property, we can provide you with a pre-acquisition or building survey to highlight areas of potential concern. Our maintenance programmes will identify work required throughout a 10 year cycle and create budget projections for future expenditure. This allows you to plan the work required to maintain your building, saving you potential major costs.
We provide professional advice and guidance on all areas of building consultancy, including scheduling remedial works, managing building and refurbishment projects, incorporating design advice, contract administration, and project management. We also regularly undertake appointments under Party Wall Act.
How we do it
From our network of offices in London, Croydon, Crawley, Brighton, Worthing and Eastbourne, our Building Consultancy team of experienced and knowledgeable surveyors can offer a comprehensive and intelligent professional service to help you find your property solution and reduce costs.
We provide valuable expertise to every aspect of property ownership and occupation. Our Building Surveyors provide a diverse range of technical and support services relating to the built environment for a varied client base including residential, commercial, retail, education and healthcare for both the public and private sector.
