We are appointed by insurance companies, loss adjusters and homeowners to provide independent reviews of complex building related insurance claims. The range of instructions can vary from reporting on causation or operation of an insured peril to commenting on specific areas of dispute including quantum.
We are often appointed to review long standing claims and have prepared reports as part of a review following a submission to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS).
CDM Services
All Clients, including those designated as domestic clients, have legal duties under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM 2015). We are able to act in the role of Principal Designer undertaking the preparation of pre-tender information, checking the Construction Plan and provision of a handover file on completion.
Statutory Approvals
We are able to arrange for statutory approvals such as building regulations and planning permissions. Repairs carried out to historic or listed buildings often require a more sympathetic approach and we have the necessary experience to prepare the required documentation and design access statements to submit to the planning department to meet the statutory requirements.
