Extensions

With the rapid escalation of house prices in the Midlands area, more and more people are looking to extend and improve their property rather than face the inconvenience, stress and cost of moving house. With our design expertise and experience in carrying out building inspections, we are able to provide a comprehensive design service for all projects from the construction of a simple en-suite to a major extension and refurbishment. Our experience of construction defects ensures that these are designed out at an early stage to give the client a long-term maintenance-free building.

We utilise the latest computer-aided design software where appropriate and this is always checked by manual methods to ensure the output is logical and appropriate. All drawings are produced utilising the latest AutoCad packages ensuring a compatibility with Architects and other specialists where required. Where appropriate, drawings and documents can be transferred electronically to ensure the minimum delay in providing information to our clients.

Services – Party Wall
We have considerable experience of the Party Wall etc Act 1996 and have acted as surveyor for both the building owner and adjoining owner as defined within the Act. We have on occasion acted as the ‘Third Surveyor’.

We adopt a practical ‘hands on’ approach to the Party Wall Act and wherever possible we will work with the building owner and the neighbours to explain the legislation and ensure as smooth a path as possible through any construction work, whilst fully complying with the legislation.
