In addition, we provide Construction Quality Control Services services.
Party Wall Surveying
GHPC offers a comprehensive party wall surveying service, throughout England & Wales, delivered in full compliance with the Party Wall Act 1996.
We can fulfil any role as defined within the Act - as agreed surveyor, adjoining owner’s surveyor or the third surveyor, giving impartial & independent advice throughout.
​
Our advice extends to Developers, Builders and also those affected by construction works, regarding the requirements of the Act, ensuring that works are adequately planned, statutory notices are presented / received within required timescales, and ensuring that works are carried out in compliance with the law, dealing with adjoining owners and their surveyors (if appointed) to smooth over any issues, ultimately ensuring that works can be carried out within programme and without undue disruption to those affected by the works. 
Building Surveying
GHPC can offer Building Surveying services throughout the UK, including:
-
Condition Surveys to suit a variety of needs including property condition surveys looking at structural defects and general conditions to provide advice where there may be problems, as well as looking at property condition prior to adjacent construction works to clearly and professionally document the pre-existing facts.
-
Boundary Condition Surveys and Roads/Pavement Condition Surveys – which are particularly useful for establishing the facts prior to development works – a much needed tool for proving causation or defending damage claims once works have started.
-
Dilapidations Surveys, undertaking very detailed surveys to record the condition of building components and systems, as a result of minor wear and tear/staining etc. These surveys are generally carried out prior to letting a property or terminating an existing lease.
