Matterport 3D visual tour creator. Matterport is the standard for 3D space capture which transforms real-life spaces into immersive digital twin models. So much more that panoramic scans, Matterport empowers people to capture and connect rooms to create truly interactive 3D models of spaces. Point Cloud data from the digital twin are quickly imported into architectural models to produce high-resolution floor plans, reflected ceiling plans and internal elevations.

A party wall is a wall shared by two adjoining properties. There is law that governs what you can and cannot do to a party wall without seeking the consent of the adjoining owner. If, for example, you are building a conservatory or an extension to your home, you will quite often need a Party Wall Award, and this is something which surveyors are trained to negotiate and agree between the parties. In certain instances, it is a legal requirement to adhere to the provisions of the Party Wall Act prior to carrying out works.

Utility search reports for underground services. Provision of details for utility networks – gas, electric, water, sewage, telecoms and fibre-optics, transportation, and oil and fuel pipelines.

A Build Over Agreement (BOA) may be required when building an extension to your home. This is a legal agreement between you and your water company that guarantees that your work will not only not negatively affect a public sewer located underneath or near the boundary of your build, and that they will still have a way to access the sewer if and when repair and maintenance work is required.

The scope of work might be the most important part of a construction agreement – even more important than the price. Without a defined scope of work, there’s no way to know what work must be done. That means it’s incredibly important to establish the scope when contracting to show what tasks must be done, and who’s responsible for those tasks.

Beyond the statutory building control inspections carried out by either the local authority or licensed inspector, we can provide on-going site construction phase inspections to confirm all works are completed in accordance with the agreed drawings, specifications, and scope of works.
