FAQs

The term project management pertains to the processes and processes required to produce a defined outcome (a new build, an extension, a renovation) within the constraints of people, budget, time, and resources.
Whether you are starting a residential or commercial building project, you will need someone to oversee it. By doing so, you will save yourself a great deal of stress and anxiety since this is a job that should only be carried out by qualified and experienced individuals or teams.

When an owner or representative of the owner enters a contract for construction work with a contractor, a contract administrator will work closely with both parties to ensure that the contract contains all necessary protections and that the project process is transparent.
This practice acts as an intermediary between both parties - the employer and the contractor - and will be employed from day one. It is their duty to ensure that a project runs smoothly, that the work is done in accordance with material quality and appropriate building practices and that the project is progressing on schedule.

In the case of commercial or residential building projects, it is important that quantity surveyors are engaged to help understand and manage the costs involved in completing the project.
Construction project managers will have a thorough understanding of managing the risks and costs associated with planning and managing construction projects. During the planning and feasibility phases, they will ensure that the desired outcome is achieved by the end of the project.

Quantity surveying comprises the activities required to calculate and manage the costs involved in building projects. The process begins with initial estimates of design, materials, logistics, and labour, as well as for project compliance (such as legal, permissions, party wall, etc...), as well as finalising a budget for the overall requirements of the project.

In a survey, an expert inspects a property’s condition to determine whether it has any problems and to confirm its structural integrity for prospective buyers. Surveyors should compile a report that identifies any significant issues, risks, or repairs.
In addition, they will check for structural problems such as subsidence and unstable walls, damp and cracks in the walls, and provide an opinion on the building’s main services such as foul and surface water drainage.

Party Wall Act etc., 1996 is a well-established piece of legislation that serves to guide, prevent, and resolve disputes relating to Party Walls.
Its principal aim is to ensure that building works cause no untoward damage to adjoining or adjacent properties/structures whilst causing the least disturbance and inconvenience to the occupants.

We offer the RICS Level 3 Building Survey. A comprehensive non-intrusive survey reports on the overall condition of a property, its construction, and any defects within it. Moreover, the report includes cost estimates for correcting defects along with recommendations for its resolution. A purchaser can fully understand the time and cost implications of taking on a property. Utilising this information can also facilitate reasonable reductions in the purchase price to accommodate the cost of work that needs to be performed.
Additionally, the Level 3 report can also be tailored according to your needs and include additional details about elements you highlight to the surveyor, such as the budget costs for planned renovations.
