CHARTERED BUILDING SURVEYING PRACTICE. MRICS.
Repairs, refurbishment and alterations — designed, approved and delivered.
Building surveying for businesses and organisations across Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Northamptonshire.
Too small for an architect. Too much paperwork for a builder.
Most building work falls in the gap: a roof that needs replacing, a fire escape that needs adding, a unit that needs reconfiguring. It needs drawings, a planning application, Building Regulations approval — and someone to run the job properly on site.
That is the work this practice does. One chartered surveyor, start to finish: survey, design, permissions, tender, works.
We diagnose defects and specify repairs — we never sell or carry out the works. Independent advice, with no conflict of interest.
What we do
Repairs & Maintenance
Roofs, external fabric, water ingress and planned maintenance — surveyed, specified and delivered.
Refurbishment & Alterations
Internal refits, reconfigurations, change of use and small-scale extensions.
Planning & Building Regulations
Drawings prepared, applications submitted, conditions discharged. The paperwork, handled.
Fire Safety Improvements
From fire risk assessment action list to designed, approved and completed works — with the right specialists led as one team.
Every instruction runs on the same four disciplines: survey & design, specification, planning & building control applications, and contract administration on site.
