Your Project
Perhaps you have noticed a crack that wasn’t previously there, or a leaning wall or a bowing roof. Or your tenants have a complaint about the structure that you want investigated. We can advise you on whether you need to be concerned and on any necessary remediation.
We are based on High Street Kensington and specialise in local projects throughout Kensington and Chelsea. We are familiar with the types of property that make this area special.
Over many years we have built trusted collaborations with many specialists and experts. So we can carefully curate a bespoke team for your project giving you access to the very best people in the industry.
Our Process
We can be appointed for different stages of the project depending on your needs. Some examples are given below or please feel free to call to discuss alternatives.
Inspect
We typically visit the property and if necessary review opening up works. We can then prepare a report for you with an action plan of how to proceed.
Design Repairs
The repairs typically require producing tender documents for a contractor and calculations to obtain Building Control approval.
Our deliverable for the contractor is typically sketches with repair details. These provide the information the contractor needs to quote and then carry out the repairs correctly.
We also produce a package of calculations for Building Control. These are to demonstrate that the proposed structure is adequate and complies with the relevant Building Regulations, British Standards and Eurocodes.
Construction
We recommend that we are appointed to inspect during construction as a helpful safety check that there are no significant deviations from our design.
It is common that we are appointed to review some of the contractor’s technical proposals such as temporary works, steel connection designs and concrete reinforcement drawings.
There may also be changes made during construction in response to the existing building or requested by the client or contractor which we can be appointed to re-design.
