View ServiceYes, we regularly assess the technical feasibility of warehouse and commercial building conversions in Tower Hamlets. Our assessment covers structural capacity for the proposed new use, fire safety requirements, acoustic separation, services infrastructure and Building Regulations compliance.
We provide technical assessment and supporting evidence for change of use applications, including evaluation of whether the existing building structure and services can accommodate the proposed new use, and identification of the works required to achieve Building Regulations compliance.
For development and conversion proposals, we provide early-stage fire safety assessment including means of escape analysis, compartmentation requirements and external wall fire safety considerations. This input is increasingly required by planning authorities and building control for residential conversion schemes.
We work alongside your architect and planning consultant, providing the technical surveying input that complements their design and planning expertise. Our role is to assess and advise on the building's structural condition, identify technical constraints and prepare the technical evidence that supports the planning application.
