Unparalleled expertise and sound advice

There is a lot to consider when it comes to choosing a residential surveying team. If you value experience, expertise and sound advice that can be trusted, Lawson Queay is a solid choice. Our Surveyors are all experts in their fields with the skills to assist you across a wide range of scenarios.

Building and purchase surveys

Purchasing a building requires a significant financial commitment regardless of whether the property is freehold or leasehold. For this reason, it is vital that prospective buyers understand the condition and potential future cost of the building.

Party wall matters

The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 provides building owners with rights when they wish to carry out works on or adjacent to their party line.

We ensure that our Clients are fully aware of their obligations and rights under the Act and in this capacity we ensure that all appropriate notices are served, designs are correctly considered, the appropriate schedules are produced and all necessary duties are discharged by both the building owner or adjoining owner, depending upon our appointment.

Specification preparation

Good design can often be lost by poor specification, not only affecting the finished project at handover, but in the future. It is therefore essential that all materials and construction methods are carefully specified to consider not only the initial appearance and workability of the building, but also ongoing maintenance and expenditure.

Due to our wide range of experience, dealing with new build, refurbishment and major repair schemes, we have gained a great understanding of which materials and solutions are most suitable, and we are able to provide this advice and choice when preparing our specifications.

Fully integrated design services

By integrating our quantity surveying and cost advice with the entire design process, Lawson Queay can produce effective solutions for refurbishments and new builds. All relevant aspects will be considered including spatial and structural improvements, sustainability issues, ecological concerns and safety matters.

Planning and building regulations applications

Planning applications are complicated and must be supported not only by the appropriate drawings and plans, but also by design and access statements and relevant specialist reports. Lawson Queay can make certain that all building regulations are met and all paperwork is submitted within the applicable deadlines.
