PROJECT MANAGEMENT & QUANTITY SURVEYING

Following an incident when a run of coping stones slipped and fell into the grounds of the hotel our initial instructions were confined to surveying the coping stones and supporting parapet walls to assess their general condition and structural stability of the masonry and to determine whether there is any immediate danger of falling masonry.

A full repair contract followed consisting of the repair and replacement of dangerous masonry at high level to the 3 blocks of the hotel; The Manor House, 1976 Addition and the Buckhurst Suite.
