Who will be involved in the project?
The scale of the contract usually dictates the range of professional services required. A redevelopment project may involve a Surveyor and Building Inspector. In addition there may be a Contract Administrator appointed by the Client (an independent person overseeing the project), a Structural Engineer and an Architect. The professions to be involved in the contract will agreed at the earliest opportunity.
How will your project be planned and specified?
Depending on the scale and complexity of the project there will usually be a surveyor, structural engineer and planner or architect who will turn the Clients brief into technical specifications and plans. These plans will then be approved by a Building Inspector to ensure the proposed works will comply with current Building Regulations. The professions can be appointed by the Client or by regener8 at the Client’s request.
