Specialist advice when you need it
We combine a deep understanding of the Building Act with practical building and council experience. We have comprehensive weather-tightness training and knowledge, providing a sound basis for identifying and understanding problems and providing practical and stress-free solutions.
We have considerable experience in expert witness roles and can assist your legal team with technical arguments in relation to possible legal proceedings. We advise owners in relation to remediation options for their homes - ranging from limited repairs to full reclads.
We have wide experience in all aspects relating to leaky homes and offer owners solutions that best meet their needs and resources, including advice regarding the Government's Financial Assistance Package.
In 2013, our work resulted in drastic changes to determinations undertaken by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment in relation to s178 on the Building Act.
We're proud of the work we do, and look forward to helping you resolve your building concerns.
