SUB CONSULTANCY
SERVICES
It is recognized that surveying practices may sometimes be under-resourced when winning large instructions, typically portfolios, where short timescales combined with other work commitments mean that service delivery is challenging or simply beyond the capacity of the immediate team. Ajenda TDD can work as a sub-consultant offering assistance to Lead Consultants where projects cannot be fully resourced in-house.
In his capacity as a former Director/Partner in charge of specialist TDD teams, John has commission managed large survey teams on major property deals for large property portfolios to ensure consistent output to time and quality requirements in accordance with the Client brief. He can be trusted as a ‘safe pair of hands’ to deliver the advice needed, with the minimum of supervision.
VENDOR SURVEYS
As well as preparation of new reports, we are able to review technical due diligence reports prepared by Vendors, where these are to be assigned, to confirm suitability, identify where advice may be lacking and offer additional advice where required.
We can produce reports for Vendors which can be made available to potential purchasers, to speed up the transaction negotiations and manage risk at an earlier stage.
