Inconsistent registers across a portfolio. Three quotes describing three different jobs. An HSE letter that needs answering. A refurbishment programme tripping over discoveries. These are judgement calls; the right judgement is cheaper than the wrong outcome.
Consultancy engagements stand alone. Where we advise, you’re buying analysis, not a removal pipeline. If the right answer is “manage it, don’t remove it,” that’s the written answer; which is the point of independence.
Written opinions for boards, insurers and enforcing authorities
Fixed-fee scopes agreed before the clock starts
From scoping call to written opinion, every engagement is framed around the decision you’re actually trying to make; fixed fee agreed before the clock starts.
A short scoping call establishes what decision you’re actually trying to make; the engagement is framed around that, not around billable breadth.
Scope, deliverable and fee in writing. Day-rate drift is how consultancy gets a bad name; we don’t do it.
Documents reviewed, sites visited where needed, stakeholders spoken to; the work matched to the question’s weight.
A clear deliverable: findings, options, recommendation and next steps; in language your board, insurer or project team can act on directly.
Regulation 4 management plans written or rebuilt so they'd survive an inspector's read, and three quotes given one honest reading of what each covers and omits.
Registers, plans and reinspection regimes audited against Regulation 4.
Client-side eyes on removal works, clearances and documentation delivered by others.
Disturbance events handled with the right sequence of testing, communication and record-keeping.
FAQS
When the question is “what should we do?” rather than “what’s there?” or “what does it cost?”; strategy across multiple buildings, conflicting professional opinions, regulator correspondence, or works you need independently checked. If a standard service answers your question, we’ll point you there and save you the fee.
Yes. Quotation review is a core engagement. We’ll tell you what each quote genuinely includes, where scopes differ, which exclusions will bite, and whether the pricing is fair. Written, defensible, and occasionally uncomfortable for somebody.
With a gap analysis: what registers exist, their age and quality, whether plans and reinspections are live, and where the exposures sit. You get a prioritised compliance plan with realistic costs; usually less alarming than feared, always more organised.
We can review the position, prepare the factual record, and set out the remediation plan that answers the notice properly. Legal representation is your solicitor’s role; making sure the technical facts and fixes are right is ours.
Dutyholder briefings and awareness sessions for site and management teams, yes; practical, building-specific and mercifully free of generic slideware. See also our Health & Safety service for the wider package.
Fixed fee against a written scope for defined engagements; retained arrangements for portfolios that want ongoing access. Either way the number is agreed before work starts; consultants who can’t scope their own work shouldn’t be advising on anyone else’s.
Yes. Technical review, factual reporting and expert input on survey adequacy, works quality and compliance obligations, prepared to the standard solicitors and proceedings require. Your lawyer argues the case; we make sure the technical ground under it is solid.
Routinely. Existing surveys reviewed, gaps identified, realistic remediation costs attached, and a written due-diligence report formatted for lenders and solicitors before you commit to the purchase.
Across the borough and well beyond it; consultancy travels more easily than skips. Portfolios spanning South London are entirely normal engagements.
