MSurveying provided comprehensive independent monitoring surveying services for a full planning development scheme on Station Road, which involved adding three levels above an existing building to create 12 additional apartments using a lightweight frame.

MSurveying was crucial in converting a retail unit into two one-bedroom flats and transforming the flat above into a five-bedroom HMO, including a loft conversion. Utilizing Class MA to its full potential, we removed the commercial unit entirely to create the ground floor flats. Recognising that rental demand for two-bed flats in the area was weak, we opted for a five-bedroom HMO for the upper floors. Understanding the need for full planning in certain areas, we strategically handled these aspects, such as adding a dormer for the HMO, which required full planning rather than permitted development. Additionally, we reconfigured the entrance to the upper floors, necessitating another full planning application due to the external changes. This meticulous planning and execution were facilitated from our first site visit by collaborating closely with our architect and planning consultant, ensuring a comprehensive approach to the project’s success.

“MSurveying was instrumental in our commercial to residential conversion project. They expertly managed the transition from a retail unit to two one-bedroom flats and a five-bedroom HMO, including handling all necessary planning applications and design adjustments.”

In overseeing key subcontract packages and stakeholder interactions for significant disruptions and road closures during the London Olympics, I spearheaded the revitalization of the iconic Hammersmith Flyover. The unplanned shutdown of this crucial artery in west London initiated a comprehensive project aimed at fortifying the structure and prolonging its operational lifespan. Following apprehensions regarding the integrity of the aging post-tensioning cables within the 50-year-old concrete segmental box girder bridge, a decision was made to halt all traffic on the flyover in 2011.
