Building Surveying
Our team of Chartered Building Surveyors are trained and experienced in a variety of sectors including commercial, education, residential property, new build, refurbishment schemes and public buildings such as leisure centres. We are also experienced in all dealings with properties in remote rural locations. We provide extensive services from the feasibility stage of a project, through the design process and the production of detailed tender documents. We apply our specialist in-house Principal Designer skills and knowledge from administration of the tender process and evaluation of tenders, through to contract award.
Once your project is in the construction phase our surveyors carry out periodic inspections of the works to ensure compliance with specification. We administer the contract on a day-to-day basis with particular care being taken to manage the financial control with reporting regularly to the client. Many of our clients have a large property portfolio and we carry out detailed surveys to investigate problems, diagnose defects and to put forward schemes to remedy defects. We have developed a breadth of knowledge covering all aspects of building renovation works including specialist heritage skills and are able to offer advice on the possible alternative solutions that may be available.
The combination of creative ability along with detailed knowledge of building construction and specification enables our surveyors to form an integral part of the design team in designing new buildings and extending and refurbishing existing buildings.
Party Wall Services - Commercial, Retail and Residential Properties
We provide Party Wall specialist services. Through membership of the Faculty of Party Wall Surveyors, the professional body in this field, our staff can provide specialist services in the application of The Party Wall (etc.) 1996 Act. The provisions of this Act have a number of substantial implications in repair/refurbishment of properties and many new build construction projects nationwide. Where a project involves works to the Party Wall/Party Structure and/or excavation within 3 to 6m distance of an adjacent property then the requirements of the Party Wall Act will come into force.
We can provide Building Owners and Adjoining Owners with initial advice on their rights and obligations under the legislation. We can issue all the relevant notices, prepare schedules of condition and formulate and publish Awards under the Act. Party Walls and Structures separating ownership of property can be a very sensitive area with the potential for disputes to arise. Utilising their experience, our qualified professionals will liaise with all parties to ensure that matters are resolved in an efficient and cost effective way. The appointed surveyor will act with impartiality and with full adherence to the provisions of the Act. Any potential areas of dispute can be resolved and legally recorded. This will allow an agreed method for progress of the works without delay due to unreasonable objection from another party. If you are unsure if the Act applies, please contact us for free initial advice.
3D Reality Capture and Laser Scanning
Our in-house laser scanning technology captures environments, structures and objects in 3D in the form of millions of data points. This data is captured in real-time and is the definitive measured record for many types of projects, and reduces costs by removing the need for site re-visits. Our expert survey team utilises the latest Faro-series equipment to combine point-cloud laser scanning with high resolution digital photography. From this, we can deliver all forms of measured building surveys, creating outputs that range from basic floor plans to highly detailed Revit models. All data is made available to the client in cloud based and standalone USB3 hard-drive delivery formats. Key benefits to our clients and project teams are extensive. The process is non-contact, and non-destructive, extremely accurate and fast; the surveys are undertaken with minimal disruption to the users of occupied buildings and are excellent where there are reduced accessibility issues or hazardous environments.
