Party Wall Matters
We act as the Advising Engineer on Party Wall matters, providing expert structural engineering advice to building owners and adjoining owners in connection with the Party Wall etc. Act 1996.
Whether you are planning works that affect a shared wall, boundary, or excavation near a neighbouring property, we can assess the structural implications and provide the technical input required to support the Party Wall process.

What is the Party Wall Act?
The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 provides a framework for preventing and resolving disputes in relation to party walls, boundary walls and excavations near neighbouring buildings. It requires building owners to notify adjoining owners before carrying out certain types of work.
Having a Chartered Engineer advise on the structural aspects of your project ensures that the works are properly assessed, risks are identified, and the process runs smoothly for all parties involved.
