Reinstatement Cost Assessments of more than 300 British Waterways properties.
- Location:
- 300 sites across the south west
- Service:
- Reinstatement Cost Assessments
Project Overview:
We were instructed to complete reinstatement cost assessments of over 300 properties on the Kennet and Avon, Gloucester to Sharpness and Bridgewater and Taunton canal networks. The properties generally comprised houses but also workshops, warehouses, lock keepers cottages and control cabins. A large number of the properties were from the Victorian period and many were Listed.
Challenges:
Program was the principal challenge, given the 8 week program, but we used our experience of other portfolio work to map all sites and devise an efficient program both for us and the client.
Tenant liasion was dealt with by our admin team allowing our surveyors to get on with the job and ensuring the client's property team had minimal involvement.
The Results:
We designed a standard form to be used on all properties which gave both headline and detailed information. Using our team of Building Surveyors we delivered all inspections and reports within an eight week period with consistent results across the portfolio.
