I need a professional opinion from someone who knows.
Professional opinion
An architect looks at what you already have (a drawing, a quote, someone else’s report) and tells you what is sound, what is missing and what they would ask before signing. The first conversation costs nothing. If the case calls for more, you get a written technical opinion.
Anyone about to make an expensive decision who wants an independent reading.
What it includes
- Technical consultancyTechnical consultancy for construction and refurbishment works
- Technical and administrative support during new build or refurbishment. Includes review of designs, programmes, budgets and construction processes, to keep the work compliant, well built and efficient.
- Feasibility studiesTechnical, financial and sustainability appraisal of property projects
- Feasibility studies (technical, constructional, financial and environmental) that establish whether a project stands up before anyone commits to building it. Decisions get made against costs, risks, programme, return and sustainable performance.
- Compliance auditCompliance auditing and management of technical and regulatory risk
- Independent assessment of technical, legal and regulatory compliance on works or contracts. Includes risk identification, documentary review and on-site verification, for transparency, conformity and continuous improvement.
- Building auditTechnical and post-occupancy auditing of buildings and property assets
- Assessment of how a building in use is actually performing. Looks at defects, maintenance condition, energy efficiency and associated risks, and sets out plans to improve both the fabric and its operation.
The exact scope is set out in writing in the proposal, with what is included and what is not.
