Unsatisfactory building work can quickly turn your dream home into an absolute disaster, with uneven brickwork, decorative issues, and poorly installed insulation all common. If you’ve been anticipating your big move into a new build home, or a household renovation has been poorly executed by tradesmen, you may benefit from the assistance of a building surveying company. Experienced at assessing and diagnosing building problems, consultants at Simon Levy Associates can be trusted to act as expert witnesses, diagnose building defects, and generally assist with taking action against unreliable or unhelpful contractors. Consult our practical guide below, and discover how our specialist construction dispute consultants can benefit you.

Poor Workmanship

New build homes are rarely without fault, and with poor workmanship and unfulfilled expectations a common cause of dispute between customer and contractor, you may be considering action against an organisation you entrusted. Poor workmanship can sometimes be seen by the untrained eye from a distance, while other building defects may be noticeable to only you, though still as significant. Regardless of the context, we excel at identifying issues and detailing them, be it for an insurance claim pertaining to property damage, or as part of a structural survey.

Defects Diagnosed

Recurring issues and prominent complications within the four walls of your home may be a circumstance of underlying defects, with mould propagation, bulged or distorted walls, and patches of damp not uncommon to see within poorly insulated or hastily built properties. Able to distribute a comprehensive appraised report to you, we can even further recommend contractors from our list of approved local companies, formulating a schedule, and overseeing the consequent repairs on your behalf.

Save Time And Money

By enlisting the help of a building surveying company while in the midst of conflict or legal action against contractors, you’re placing your situation in the hands of a highly-qualified and enthusiastic team.
