Project management

Whether you’re building a structure in your garden, renovating a commercial space, or extending a property, there are lots of plates to spin. We can provide comprehensive project management services to make sure your project stays on schedule and within budget.

CAD drafting and measured surveys

A measured survey is an important first step in any construction project. We'll visit your property to take accurate measurements of the space so we can have an in-depth understanding of the layout, dimensions, and structure.

We can then use computer-aided design (CAD) software to transform those measurements into detailed technical drawings. These provide a precise visual representation of your space to help with planning applications and provide the ideal base for architectural design work.

Hand-drawn and 3D CAD presentation visualisations

Our building surveyor services also include accurate hand-drawn sketches. We can amend these until you’re happy with the concept and then develop 3D computer-generated renderings.

These realistic images will help you visualise how your space will look so you can make sure you’re happy with every final detail before any construction work begins.

Specifications using the NBS Chorus platform

The National Building Specification (NBS) Chorus is a platform used by architects and construction professionals to make sure all concepts and designs are clear and accurate. It offers a standardised system so that anyone working on your building or renovation project has access to the same details. 

We can prepare detailed technical specifications on the NBS Chorus Platform so every relevant party gets the best results possible for your building project.

Party Wall Matters

If you’re carrying out any construction work that might affect a neighbour’s property, there are some important regulations you need to be aware of.

Under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996, you are legally required to notify your neighbours if your work involves shared walls, boundary walls, or excavations near adjoining properties. This means that if you’re looking at an extension, loft conversion, or structural alteration, you’ll need to provide any affected neighbours with formal notice. Our experienced building surveyor, Robert Turner, can do this for you as part of a comprehensive services package. He’ll make sure your construction work is compliant with the Party Wall Act so there are no legal risks down the line.

We’ve been helping homeowners and businesses handle all aspects of the Party Wall Act for over 20 years and are well-versed in handling everything from serving notice to resolving disputes.

Your best interests are at the heart of what we do, so we’ll make sure your rights are always protected when navigating complex documents.
