Let's talk... Project and Development Consultancy
Construction projects are becoming ever more complex due to a raft of legislation, from Construction Health and Safety to Waste Management. A tough financial climate has led to lenders taking a far more active interest in ensuring that funded projects are diligently set up and overseen.
There are a host of periphery considerations around development which if
overlooked, can lead to delay and expense. Early professional advice is key to
ensure construction projects set off on the right foot and are completed as
planned

established; it gives a chance to view the
site with fresh eyes and to carry out an
initial assessment of the sites opportunity
for development.
Space Planning / Audits
Space utilisation is a measure of how and
if space is being used efficiently. It is
strategically important that space
management measure and assists
facilities managers in ensuring the space
which they occupy continues to remain
suitable for their business / institutional
needs ensuring inter-relationship
between staff and/or departments.

Image moduleStrategic Advice /Exit Strategies
The commercial property world has
changed dramatically over the last few
years and gone are the days of 25 year
lease terms.
A tough economic climate has led to
much shorter lease terms and the
common inclusion of ‘break clauses’
within leases, such as allowing a lease to
be ended early, is often only agreed if
certain criteria is met.
Measured Building Surveys
Make sure you don’t bear the cost of an
inaccurate or incomplete survey. AG’s
expertise and experience undertaking a
range of Measurement Services around
the UK enable us to reliably and
accurately provide detailed and concise
information relating to any property
or site.

properties.
Party Wall Matters
The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 is a complex
piece of legislation that places rights and
duties on neighbours on both sides of a
boundary where works on or close to the
boundary are proposed.
If correctly administered, the legislation is
an effective tool to fairly and equitably
deal with issues that arise.
Rights of Light
Rights of Light is a specialist area of
Neighbourly Matters relating to buildings
which have the right to receive light into
