Can Robert Turner Associates support listed building and conservation area projects in Southend-on-Sea?
Whether you live in a seafront terrace in Leigh-on-Sea or a grand Edwardian home in Rayleigh, listed buildings and conservation areas are common in Southend-on-Sea’s architectural makeup.
Embarking on a construction project in these areas requires careful care and attention to detail. Our team holds an expert understanding of planning rules, heritage value, and construction techniques that can protect the history of your property.

Why might you need a building survey?
A measured building survey is an important first step for any construction project, whether you’re looking into extensions or loft conversions for your property in Southend-on-Sea. Carried out by a chartered surveyor, a building survey offers a clear picture of your space so you know what you have to work with.
It can help you make the most of your available space and features while reducing the risk of costly delays and issues as the project progresses.

What architectural services do we provide?
We have two brilliant architects on our team — Giulia Pasqualini Galliana (Chartered Architect - ARB, RIBA) and Mattia Penazzi (Architect). Both bring their own technical expertise to each project, and can support you with:
•Bespoke architectural and creative design concepts.
•Photorealistic 2D and 3D architectural rendering.
•Complete project management assistance.
•Detailed technical drawings for planning and building regulations.
•Planning regulation submissions.
•Support with listed building consent and conservation area consent applications.

How can a party wall surveyor help your project?
It’s common for construction projects to impact a shared wall, floor, or structure. However, what many don’t realise is that it’s important to comply with the Party Wall Act 1996 legislation.
This document legally requires you to notify your neighbours and follow specific procedures. Our party wall surveyors can ensure that you stay on the right side of the law. We can:
•Identify whether your plans fall under party wall legislation.
•Draft and serve the correct party wall notices to your neighbours.
•Support you in responding to notices served by neighbours.
•Mediate party wall disputes legally and fairly.
•Draft agreements that protect the interests of all parties involved.
