Planning and regulation

Surveys are best carried out before completion or within the defects period, when remedial work can be required of the contractor.

Delivery

A prioritised defects report is issued, with photographs, for issue to the developer or contractor.

Fees

Fees are fixed for each stage and confirmed in writing once the scope is agreed. Construction cost depends on the site, the specification and the procurement route, and is established through an indicative cost plan at feasibility stage.
