Are you just a cog in the machine? Embrace it! As a party wall surveyor on large development projects, your goal is to quickly get off the critical path and understand the project team's needs. It's not about being the most important person, but about facilitating progress.
A building owner's surveyor should understand the broader commercial context. Delaying a project worth £10 million a month over a £1,000 fee dispute shows a lack of understanding of the client's needs. It's essential to grasp time and cost implications to be effective.
Embrace an open mind and continuous learning, as the field of party wall surveying evolves with new case law. Successful surveyors, according to Alistair Redler, benefit from learning collaboratively with colleagues, both within and outside their firm.https://t.co/rubEkTdezk
Adjoining owners have a duty to safeguard their interests, according to Andrew Schofield. Planning notices or visible site activity often serve as warnings. Early inquiries and securing commitments can prevent disputes later. https://t.co/iJvha87ufp
If notifiable works begin without a Party Wall Notice, an adjoining owner should first seek an undertaking to halt the works. If refused, pursuing an injunction is the next step. Though costly, courts often reimburse these expenses.https://t.co/iJvha87ufp
The Party Wall Act requires a strict process, beginning with serving notice. Andrew Schofield highlights that it’s not a system you can casually engage with; adherence to the sequence is crucial for proper administration. https://t.co/iJvha87ufp
Go beyond the billable hour. Being a party wall surveyor means going above and beyond what's normally delivered and billed for. This dedication to excellence is what builds lasting trust and referrals. https://t.co/rubEkTdezk
How do you value loss of use, like a garden trashed by scaffolding? Andrew shares his approach: local estate agency comparisons can be a starting point, but consider 'uplifting' the value if it's the owner's home and the loss was forced upon them. https://t.co/3BpcuHZFkS
Could a shortfall in an adjoining owner's injunction costs be considered 'loss or damage' under Section 7(2)? Andrew Schofield describes this as an 'interesting idea' he would entertain, having done so once, seeing it as 'morally right'.https://t.co/3BpcuHZFkS
It might sound counterintuitive but, according to Alistair Redler, one of the best ways to get your name known is for your rivals to speak well of you. This fosters trust, encourages fair negotiation, and can lead to new contacts. https://t.co/rubEkTdezk
