Introduction to this Blog

The main purpose of my blog is to provide information relating to common building and property related issues.  This will include subjects relating to Building Defects, Professional Work such as Planning, Building Regulation, Tendering, Project Management and the Party Wall etc. Act 1996.

The aim is to observe construction trends and offer the benefit of over 40 years of my experience to members of the public, as well as to tackle topical issues as they arise.  Also, those undertaking professional qualifications such as Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB), Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists (CIAT) and similar accrediting bodies may find my experiences of benefit.

I have been working as Chartered Building Surveyor for over 40 years and prior to my current Private Professional Practice I was a Chief Building Surveyor for a Council, originator of the National Schedule of Rates, the reference point for all Quantity Surveying which to this day has my name within and assisted in the drafting of the JCT forms of Management contracts. I have been dealing with a wide range of professional activities and projects. Even so, information posted on this blog should not be relied upon by any person or any third party without first seeking further professional advice as all projects are different as are all required procurement routes.

If there is a particular topic or problem you would like covered please let me know, I look forward to seeing how I can continue to assist.

I will update these pages regularly. David
