Appointed as the Building Owners’ surveyor on the conversion and new build elements to the last converted Wapping warehouse building.
The site had been derelict for over 26 years. The proposed works meant there were a number of notices required under the Act to address adjacent excavation, raising a party wall, cutting into existing party structures, waterproofing etc.
In total there were 32 adjoining owners affected, which meant a great deal of coordination was required and some tight time scales to meet along the way. During construction, damage was caused to the adjoining properties which resulted in much investigative work and in-depth negotiation with adjoining owner’s surveyors.
Simultaneously, the appointed contractor went into administration, which added further complexities. Insurers and solicitors from multiple parties became involved generating more layers of complications.
Supporting the Building Owner’s throughout the process, our team were instrumental in resolving matters professionally and effectively.
