National property and construction consultancy Wakemans has picked up three new building surveying contracts, valued at £2.25m, and is advising clients on how to maximise their investment in property and manage future maintenance costs.
The busy building surveying department has also recently completed work on a number of heritage building condition surveys at Bournville.
Wakemans has been commissioned by a private client to carry out building inspections and provide condition surveys in respect of works recently completed at Sherborne Lofts in Grosvenor Street West, Birmingham.
The firm has also been retained to provide ongoing survey work on the property, which is a former bonded warehouse that has been converted into luxury apartments overlooking the canal and Brindley Place.
Currently Wakemans is underway with detailed structural and building surveys in Norton, Gloucestershire, to ascertain whether barns formerly used for storage purposes are suitable as residential apartments and barn conversions. The site has been acquired by LandMarque Sites for Dodd Homes.
Wakemans has been retained by LandMarque Sites to act as project manager on this redevelopment scheme, and will take on responsibility for appointing contractors to handle the refurbishment and new-build programme and overseeing the works.
Adcocks Solicitors is looking to increase the number of staff working out of its first floor offices in St. Michael Street, West Bromwich, and contracted Wakemans to carry out building and structural surveys.
“This is an exciting time for our building surveying team, especially since two of these projects have involved us working with new clients,” says Wakemans divisional director of client services James Shelley.
“On projects like this our building surveyors are increasingly working in a project management capacity too, acting as liaison with the various contractors and consultants to co-ordinate activities on site and, where appropriate, bringing in the additional specialist skills required to complete the job.”
