For building alteration work, Building Surveyors perform the same role as architects, acting as designers and contract administrators.  The Surveyor is unique in being able to carry out the initial inspection of the building and taking this forward to completion and management.

Often this work is as a result of an initial instruction to inspect the building to determine its condition or its compliance with a certain piece of legislation.  The practice provides advice from initial inspection, estimate of costs, designing the work, appointing a contractor and administration of the work on site.

The practice provides detailed schemes of alterations, minimising disruption to the occupants and other building elements alongside rigorous on-site administration.
