Building Condition Surveys
We undertake building condition surveys that assess the construction and condition of buildings. Our detailed reports highlight defects, maintenance concerns and provide detailed information to allow informed decisions to be made in terms of property purchases, acquisitions and repair.

Our building defect analysis service involves the thorough inspection of specific building defects and issue, including, damp, condensation and movement defects. We identify root causes and recommend remedial action, giving property owners and managers clear guidance on how to resolve and remedy the identified defects.
Contract Administration
We provide contract administration services in respect of all types of building projects and different forms of building contract.
Party Wall Services
We advise property owners, homeowners, developers, and neighbours on matters covered under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996. From issuing notices to preparing formal awards, we ensure compliance with legal requirements and help maintain good neighbourly relations throughout building works.
Dilapidation Reports
We provide clear, evidence-based dilapidation reports for landlords and tenants during and at the expiry of a lease. Our reports assess property condition against lease terms and support fair negotiations, helping both parties resolve disputes over repairs, reinstatement, or financial liability. We provide advice to tenants on managing a Lease exit strategy to minimise potential financial and operational at risk.
