Dispute Resolution

We have significant experience as “expert witnesses” in construction disputes.

This requires us to be impartial and independent, in contrast to a lawyer who is generally engaged to be the client’s advocate.

Contract Administration

Globe Property Consultancy can administer your construction contract, ensuring that an appropriate design, contract form and procurement is found. From there we can ensure demands for payment are appropriately dealt with, variations to the contract are handled efficiently and the contract is satisfactorily completed.

Schedule of Condition Reports

These are prepared for either the Tenant or Landlord of commercial premises at the commencement of a lease to identify legal obligations and to record the condition of the property.

The purpose of the report is to record the condition to enable an understanding of the level of reinstatement considered necessary at the end of a lease, intended to protect parties from unwarranted reinstatement claims.

Building Maintenance Reports

These can be long-term or planned maintenance reports assessing the present condition of the internal and external building fabric of a commercial or residential property, together with its infrastructure.

Insurance Assessment and  Reinstatement

As a Registered Building Surveyor we can assist insurance companies in providing impartial expert advice relating to property-related insurance claims to determine the likely causes of the damage due to insured events; lack of maintenance; defective construction; or poor workmanship.

Remediation

If you are thinking of partly or fully recladding your house, either because you suspect (or know) there are problems with the existing cladding, or because a stigma has devalued your house merely because of the type of cladding, as a remediation specialist Globe is able to advise you on what is involved to complete a compliant repair.

Alternatively, if you have building defects that need repaired, you will need to understand the problem before a repair solution is found, Globe can assess this and offer an appropriate repair solution and if requested, design the repair solution.

Delapidation Reports
(Lease Reinstatement)

If no schedule of condition was prepared there is still an obligation on a Lessee (and Landlord) at lease termination.
A schedule can identify repairs, make good or maintenance obligations that the tenant (or landlord) may have under the terms of their lease. Often this is needed at the end of a lease, at least.

Such specialist reports can advise a Lessee or Landlord of potential dilapidation liabilities and cost estimates; and/or aid in understanding or minimising financial exposure during a lease, when considering lease renewal or, at lease termination.
 

Building Technology and Construction

This includes providing advice on the performance of building materials and systems, their selection, usage, assembly, anticipated life span, repair and the effects of natural elements.
