Our Services

We understand that buying, building, or renovating a property can be a daunting task. That's why we offer a comprehensive range of services designed to help you navigate the process with ease. Our services include:

• Accurate Documentation: From tenders to contractual frameworks, we ensure that all required documentation is accurate and up-to-date.

• Auditing of Contracts: We conduct open book reconciliations and ensure that all works have been carried out to the required standards after jobs are completed.

• Planning and Building Regulations: We take care of all your planning and regulatory needs, ensuring that your project is compliant with relevant regulations.

• Building Defect Analysis: We inspect and report on building defects and problems found in buildings by owners, occupiers, or potential purchasers.
