Higher-risk buildings. Principal Designer duties. The Building Safety Act in practice – and a bonus that rewards every pound you bill.
A well-established and growing multi-disciplinary practice of Chartered Surveyors, Project Managers and Cost Consultants in the City of London is expanding its Building Consultancy team, alongside a recently launched Building Safety & Compliance service that has taken off.
