INITIAL ADVICE

Service Description

Initial-Advice is a 1-hour consultation at the project site. It is ideally suited for homeowners wishing to extend or alter their property or seeking professional advice on other aspects of their property. During the visit, we will discuss your proposal or identified issue and guide you accordingly through meanders of planning, building control and building process or advise you on further steps to address your particular concerns. Post the visit you will receive a summary report highlighting discussed matters and recommendations. In some circumstances of simple alterations or localised dilapidation, we may include a specification for a short (less than 3m long) steel beam or lintel, or straightforward advice on the structural issue identified by you. If you are looking for a structural inspection report, this is not the service for you, however, should you seek an opinion as to whether you need such an inspection report then this service will give you an answer. If you are looking to find out if the wall you plan to remove is load-bearing or structurally significant you will need to expose the buildup of the wall and the floor/roof structure over it and provide access so we can ascertain the structural form of your building. We do not open ceilings, walls, floors or dig holes as a part of this service. On the day we can only judge what is readily available for survey. In case we cannot ascertain the structural form and arrangement of the building you will receive an explanation of what we think the status of the wall may be with directions for further investigatory work to confirm our assumption. We will also present you with the quotation for further services we can provide you with, tailored to your requirements discussed during the visit. This is a piece of professional and impartial advice you can trust. This visit will be deducted from further services if and when you choose us for such.
