Whether you're carrying out works or you've received a notice, we can help

Understanding the Party Wall Act 1996
We are qualified to either act on your behalf to issue notices and produce Schedules of Condition to ensure you comply with the Act, or upon receipt of a notice from your neighbour, we are able to ensure works are properly thought out.

Notices and disputes
We have provided expert witness statements and provided construction advice to clients who are in dispute with their contractors or other construction professionals. If you feel blinded by technical terms and feel that something is wrong, we may be able to help.

Planning applications
We can work with you to draft up plans and submit applications, always in consideration of meeting building regulation compliance and future construction costings. We offer a total one-stop shop for development and all costs are provided up front.
Defects
Whether it's a small challenge that requires some reassurance or a larger scale issue, you will find us friendly and helpful and we are happy to discuss your requirements. Contact us for expert advice on resolving building defects.

Complete project management
As Chartered Project Managers we can help bring together a construction team to deal with a wide range of projects from initial development and appraisal through to planning, building control, tender, contract and management of works. We work to mitigate your exposure to risk on all matters including CDM Regulations and are happy to discuss your plans. We are well equipped to advise on procurement and programming strategies as well as administer JCT construction contract forms which ensure risk exposure is controlled and understood. We ensure strict cost control procedures and programming so that you are protected every step of the way.

"Kohls Chartered Surveyors provided a detailed and professional Level 2 RICS survey for me at short notice, for a second property. Very efficient service, really polite and friendly - usual rates, good value. I appreciate the local knowledge too as I am buying from outside the area. Highly recommended! Thank you, Karl."
