How we work
- 01
We survey and report on what is actually there — condition, defects, compliance and liability — before recommending spend.
- 02
Advice is written to be used: schedules, specifications and negotiation positions rather than observations without a next step.
- 03
Where works follow, the same team can administer the contract, so the diagnosis and the repair stay joined up.
Questions clients ask
- We are taking a lease. What should we commission?
- A schedule of condition protects your position at the end of the term, and a pre-acquisition survey identifies the liabilities you are inheriting.
- Do you act for landlords or tenants on dilapidations?
- Both. We prepare and negotiate dilapidations schedules from either side, and provide party wall specialist services.
- Can you assess reinstatement cost for insurance?
- Yes. Rebuild cost assessments for insurance purposes are part of the service.
