The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, or RICS, is the world's leading professional body dedicated to the economics and management of land, property, construction and related environmental issues. This means any advice they given by their members will be of the highest professional standard. Members are bound by a strict code of conduct that regulates how they deal with you and your money.
Yes. We are required to maintain Professional Indemnity Insurance for all our work as a condition of being a member of the RICS. This is controlled and monitored by the Institution. Having a formal complaints procedure is also a requirement of the RICS. A copy of this can be supplied on request.
We accept appointments from Building Owners proposing to undertake construction work coming under the Party Wall etc Act 1996 or on behalf of adjoining owners to safeguard their interests when such work is being carried out that could affect their property.
A Project Manager is a specialist advisor that represents the client and is responsible for the day-to-day management of a project. They seldom participate directly in activities that produce the end result but rather strive to maintain the progress and mutual interaction of the project team in such a way that reduces the risk of failure, maximises benefits and controls cost.
A Contract Administrator will administer a building contract between a building contractor and a client to ensure that both parties fulfil the terms of the contract and there are no claims or disputes. Claims commonly arise between the parties to building contracts. This can be as a result of problems such as; delays, changes, unforeseen circumstances, insufficient information, and conflicts. Claims might be made for loss and expense, extension of time, liquidated damages and so on. The contract should set out what can constitute a claim and how it should be dealt with.
