Why work with us on your building project
Our core residential building consultancy services
Pre-acquisition building surveys
Detailed condition assessments for homebuyers planning to purchase large, historic or renovation-prone properties. We provide insight into structural condition, defects and repairs.
Reinstatement cost assessments
Ensure accurate insurance cover with a comprehensive rebuild valuation, factoring in demolition, clearance, labour, materials and more.
Planned preventative maintenance programmes
A long-term view of your property’s condition and maintenance requirements over 10–15 years, with budgeted and prioritised schedules for proactive upkeep.
Condition reports
Focused surveys providing insights into specific issues or building elements. Perfect for maintenance planning or pre-sale evaluations.
Contract administration and project management
End-to-end support for your refurbishment or restoration project, from coordinating design teams to timelines, budgets and compliance. We act as a single point of contact for seamless communication and operational management.
Development and project monitoring
Independent oversight of residential developments ensures timelines, quality control and budgets stay on track. Ideal for investors and absentee homeowners.
Insurance reinstatement works
Following damage such as fire or flooding, we oversee the full reinstatement process, acting as intermediaries between you and your insurer to ensure fair outcomes and high-quality repairs.
