Services
Building Surveys
Our building surveys provide detailed evaluations of commercial properties, identifying structural integrity, compliance, and maintenance needs. We deliver actionable insights for informed purchasing or leasing decisions, ensuring clients understand long-term obligations. Tailored to retail, industrial, and office sectors, our surveys combine technical rigor with commercial awareness.
Schedules of Condition
We prepare precise schedules of condition to limit tenant liabilities during lease agreements. These records document property status at lease commencement, preventing disputes over repair obligations. Our services ensure compliance with lease terms while protecting client interests through photographic and written evidence.
Project Management
From tender documentation to final execution, we manage construction projects ensuring statutory compliance, budget adherence, and timely delivery. Our role includes contractor coordination, health and safety oversight, and statutory approvals, guaranteeing works meet technical specifications and client expectations.
Defect Surveys
We identify and resolve structural defects impacting property use or safety. Our surveys pinpoint water ingress sources, fabric deterioration, and compliance issues, offering cost-effective remediation strategies. Clients benefit from clear action plans to restore functionality and value to commercial assets.
Dilapidations Assessments
Our dilapidations assessments quantify lease repair liabilities, ensuring properties meet contractual standards. We represent landlords and tenants in negotiations, providing impartial evaluations of required works. This service minimizes disputes and ensures compliance with lease agreements through detailed reporting.
