Facilities Management
"Our clients desire to focus on their core skills so therefore wish to outsource a variety of special services.

Our management can also help with you financial contingency funds to bring maintenance costs inline with an organizations strategic approach to its organization.
We can bundle all the following services for you.
Building Maintenance Surveys
"Prevention is better than cure" is both relevant and prudent to the maintenance of commercial buildings. According to the British Chamber of Commerce a staggering 80% of businesses never recover from a major disaster caused by water damage, flood or fire. Damage of the property from any of these problems can reduce the efficiency of the occupiers business. By providing periodic surveys we can advise on what maintenance needs carrying out to prevent disruption to the business or the expense of complete replacement. Planned maintenance is only advised where break down would bring instant disruption e.g. lift maintenance.
Building Regulation Approvals.
Whether you are considering simple alterations, a more complicated refurbishment, an extension or a completely new building, we can advise on all stages from inception to completion.
The basic procedures for alterations and for new building work are the same. The same logical approach will ensure that you achieve what you are aiming for with the minimum of expense and fuss. For all but the simplest of alterations and extensions, planning permission will be required and then detailed constructional drawings must be submitted to the Local Authority for Building Regulation approval. In order to steer clear of "cowboy builders" it is recommended that estimates are obtained from two or three contractors and make sure a simple building contract is used. The Federation of Master Builders produces a user-friendly contract for small building works.
