Do you: • have a building issue that needs investigating? • need to understand the condition of a building or a portfolio of buildings?• need to plan for building maintenance and repairing liabilities?• have an interest in a building development but no direct contractual control over its design & construction?Or are you involved in a building related dispute?I can help by: 1. Acting as a reliable expert witness on building defect claims, both weathertightness & general construction. 2. Identifying & working out how to fix building defects, be they weathertightness or other defects. 3. Conducting building condition assessments. If you own a building, are thinking of purchasing one, have a financial interest, or are undertaking major infrastructure work that might affect other property, I can help you understand the condition of the building(s).4. Maintenance planning. In conjunction with condition assessment, I can advise on maintenance & repairing requirements & prepare site specific maintenance plans to help you protect your asset & budget for its upkeep.5. Development monitoring. I can assist fund managers, insurers, long term lessees & other parties with an interest in a development by providing advice during design, procurement & construction phases to ensure your interests are being suitably represented.Clients tell me I am friendly, easy to work with, collaborative & outcome focused. If you decide to work with me I will sit down with you & talk through the issues. Once I understand your desired outcome I’ll work with you to achieve it & will keep thinking ahead. My approach is to get my clients on board with what I’m doing rather than keeping them at arms-length. I adopt a no surprises approach to costs. I’ll never go beyond a price indication without seeking further instructions from you. I’ll explain where costs are incurred & provide a breakdown.
