Their services span a wide range of disciplines, including:

• Quantity surveying and cost management
• Project management and employer’s agent roles
• Building surveying, party wall matters, and dilapidations
• CDM advisory (health and safety)
• Sustainability consulting and access audits
• Dispute resolution and expert witness services
