NJC Services

If you are the owner proposing to have the works carried out you must find out whether the works are governed by the Act. If you do not get agreement from the adjoining owners you must employ a party wall surveyor to agree a party wall award. He/she will either act as an Agreed Surveyor or agree the award with an appointed Surveyor acting for the adjoining owner. If you have been served with a Party Wall notice, NJC Services can provide you with a schedule of condition or agree a schedule of condition with another surveyor.

We've worked on schools, sports clubs, data centres and many other commercial type buildings too! As Chartered Building Consultants we are experts in repair and refurbishment work of existing buildings. We will naturally arrange for quotations to be prepared by contractors, normally based on our own specification or scope of works and analyse them before making any recommendations. The works can then get supervised if required on a regular basis or as agreed between parties, which would include regular reports and updates on the progress.

NJC Building Consultancy Services can provide a qualified and highly experienced building surveyor to help you carefully check the condition of a property that you are in the process of purchasing. A building surveyor report, formerly referred to as a structural survey report is the most thorough and detailed report on the condition of a property that you can buy. We provide a bespoke report which relates to the property in question. Our survey reports will also include a list of budget repair costs that can be both informative and be used to re-negotiate the purchase price of your proposed property (if necessary) which can ultimately save you money.

Two retail units were to be combined into a single unit. To make this possible they were going to have to remove a substantial 8m wide and 450mm thick brick wall which was providing the support for the four-storey Victorian building above it. NJC Building Consultants were retained as the party wall surveyor for the project. The works involved major temporary supports with temporary foundations to allow safe removal of the brickwork. Curing times was also a major consideration so it certainly was not to be a rush job!
