Site Supervision Service in Horsham

Government has recently (October 2023) created additional Regulations that define the duties of those involved in construction including property owners, designers and contractors to ensure buildings are constructed competently and are safe. This is in response to the Greenfield Tower disaster. For a domestic client (homeowner) the regulations require them to appoint a suitably qualified designer to supervise construction. Hence, we also provide our Site Supervision Service to meet this need.

In carrying out this service we undertake the following:

• If required, we can assist clients with selecting a suitable builder as this is the first step in ensuring good quality construction. We cannot select or appoint a builder, but we can support, review and advise during the tender process.
• We will agree an appropriate schedule for site visits with both the client and builder, so we monitor works on a regular basis and at key stages of construction.
• During site visits we will check building work carried out on site to ensure that it complies with the design and the Building Regulations.
• Provide feedback to client, builder and building control following visits on any issues found and in response to queries, as appropriate.
• We will liaise with the builder to resolve any construction issues that arise as the existing building is opened up or unforeseen circumstances arise.
• We will also liaise with Local Authority Building Control to assist them in undertaking their duties during construction.
