How do I find a cost effective Party Wall Surveyor?

As a Party Wall Surveyor with 25 years experience in the building industry you get to see all the things that could go wrong when undertaking a building project.

I like to think that as a Party Wall Surveyor I bring more to the table than just my expertise in this field.

With helpful value engineering and past experience I like to have some input on what you're actually intending to do and advise you of any pit falls.

I can even look at the form of contract and drawings you propose to use and give you my opinion without obligation.

Party Wall situations are in themselves seldom a simple affair. Normally they are mixed up with Right of Light, Planning and Boundary issues which are covered by entirely different legislation.

I can guide you through this mine field and put you in the right direction and avoid all that stress which is so common in building projects today. This is not surprising when one considers the amount of legislation that cover small projects these days, not to mention Health and Safety issues, insurances and Building Control.
