posted 24th November 2025
Proven Specialist Party Wall Experience
Carl O’Boyle is a highly trusted Party Wall Surveyor with over 15 years’ dedicated experience in Party Wall matters, on top of more than 30 years’ experience in the wider construction and building surveying industry. He has acted for both building owners and adjoining owners on a wide range of projects, from modest domestic extensions to complex multi-unit developments, giving him a balanced and practical understanding of the issues on both sides of the wall.
Strong Professional Standing and Governance Roles
Carl is not only a Chartered Building Surveyor (MRICS) and Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Building (FCIOB), but is also a Member of the Faculty of Party Wall Surveyors (MFPWS). Both he and Tayross Associates are fully regulated and professionally insured.
In addition, Carl sits on key professional conduct and governance panels, including:
• The Faculty of Party Wall Surveyors in London
• The Chartered Institute of Building Professional Conduct Committee in the UK, an Institute with an estimated membership of around 40,000 construction professionals
These roles involve reviewing and upholding standards of behaviour and competence across the profession. Clients can therefore be confident that their surveyor not only complies with best practice, but actively helps to shape and enforce it.
Trusted, Personable and Client-Focused
Clients frequently choose Tayross because Carl is regarded as a trusted, approachable and highly reliable professional, able to explain technical and legal issues in plain language. His focus is always on:
• Protecting his clients’ legal and financial interests
• Maintaining good neighbourly relationships wherever possible
• Keeping projects moving without unnecessary conflict or delay
Technical Insight Backed by Real Construction Experience
Having started his career with Costain Plc on high-end commercial projects in London Docklands and the City, Carl brings real-world construction expertise to every Party Wall instruction. He understands how structural works are actually delivered on site, which allows him to give practical, buildable and commercially sensible Party Wall advice rather than purely theoretical commentary.
