As a firm of Chartered Building Surveyors, defects diagnosis and building pathology is at the core of our skill set. The dilapidations process demands that we correctly identify the cause of certain defects where this leads to actionable disrepair, so we are naturally well positioned to provide general consultancy advice in this field, even outside a dilapidations context.
We are regularly appointed to provide CPR Part 35 compliant Expert Witness reports on building defects to identify the cause and the necessary remedial works in order to later apportion liability. We are therefore at the forefront of the industry in identify defect causation, remediation and liability.
