Our team will then conduct regular site inspections to verify compliance with building regulations and the terms of the Licence for Alterations, checking the quality of workmanship, ensuring health and safety standards are maintained, and identify any potential issues or deviations from the approved plans.

By providing clear guidelines and technical specifications, we will help streamline the approval process, facilitate consistent and high-quality fit-out works, and ensure that both the landlord’s and tenant’s interests are protected throughout the alteration process.
