At Commercial Building Surveyors we conduct Party Wall Surveys by professional and experienced Party Wall Surveyors throughout the UK.
What is a Party Wall Award?
The process and requirements of a Party Wall Award are as set out in the Party Wall etc. Act 1996. A Party Wall Award is an agreement made between at least two neighbouring occupiers prior to the commencement of construction/building work which is to be undertaken to a party boundary or structure, or where works are being undertaken in close proximity to a party boundary or structure. There are three main types of work which require a Party Wall Surveyor to conduct a Party Wall Award and these are:
- Line of junction (building a new wall on or alongside a boundary)
- Party Structure Works (works to an existing party wall such as cutting into, rebuilding, thickening etc.)
- Adjacent Excavation (excavations to a lower level within either 3m or 6m of an existing building)
In Bristol, Manchester, London and across the UK, our experienced commercial building surveyors carry out a range of professional surveying services including Party Wall Surveys (Party Wall Awards).
