How we can help
Commercial Projects
We can inspect a variety of domestic projects, choose which type of project you need inspecting below. Can’t find what you’re looking for? Get in touch with us here.
Ecclesiastical
Ecclesiastical projects are a bit of a niche and you need a Building Inspector that understands the unique nature of these types of projects. Whether it’s a Crematorium, Chapel, Church or Cathedral – we have worked on them all. Wilkinson is here to advise and help your construction project run smoothly within the regulations.
Healthcare
Hospitals, clinics and local doctors surgeries are vital to ensuring the nation’s health, and the construction or refurbishment of healthcare buildings is another specialist area. We have experience of working with the NHS Health Technical Memoranda (HTMs) and can give comprehensive advice and guidance on the design, installation and operation of specialised buildings used in the delivery of healthcare.
Heritage & Listed Buildings
Heritage and listed buildings face many conflicting rules and guidelines when it comes to renovation or extension. At Wilkinson, we can help you navigate through these regulations whether it’s a Grade 2 listed townhouse or a UNESCO world heritage site, we have the experience to deal with your project.
Hotels
We are proud to work with hotels in the boutique sector throughout London & the South East, rather than the well-known corporate chains, with modular construction in every city and airport across the UK. Typically our clients in this sector are SME’s with no more than 100 rooms, and pride themselves on giving that personal touch to every guest, much like we run our own business.
Industrial
Industrial buildings include factories, data and energy centres and operational facilities. They are often large open plan buildings with complex fire safety issues. We have experience in working with most types of building in this sector and can provide early advice on what the key issues will be to ensure compliance.
Leisure
Gyms and indoor swimming pools provide local residents and visitors with leisure facilities. These buildings also consist of showers, changing rooms and offices for staff. When constructing these buildings, all these different areas may have varying guidelines on how they should be built.
Offices
The office sector has transformed in recent years with many businesses re-evaluating how best to arrange space for staff to carry out their work. Whether it’s just the creation of a single cellular office, a new build shell and core facility, or a Cat A or Cat B fit out we can help certify compliance for the landlord or tenant. Fire safety, access and ventilation requirements when subdividing floor plates can often be more complex than first thought, so we work with fit out companies to ensure that the designs they provide to clients will meet the regulations, even from concept stage, so don’t delay get in touch today.
Retail
We have worked with small shop keepers all the way up to global brands on their retail offerings across the country, including high streets, shopping malls, out of town retail parks, and even flagship central London stores . Working with retailers its important to understand the brand values and experiences that matter to the client, whilst still achieving compliant buildings.
Restaurants
Our restaurant clients again tend to be SME’s or high end Michelin starred venues rather than the well-known branded chains and takeaways that you see in every city centre. We are proud to offer our bespoke services and experience to make sure your venue stands out from the competition but still complies with the relevant requirements for kitchens, restrooms and accessibility.
Theatre & Arts
Theatres, concert venues, libraries and museums house a lot of visitors from day to day, with large amounts of people under one roof comes stricter safety precautions when planning and constructing this kind of building. We have extensive experience in this sector and understand the licensing rules and terms such as ceiling certificates for ornate fibrous plasterwork, viewing sightlines, safety curtains and vomitories!
Storage
Storage projects include distribution buildings, trade warehouses, tyre centres and simple mezzanine floors in start-up and seedbed units. They are often open plan buildings and can have complex fire safety issues combined with lots of vehicle movements inside and outside the structure. We have experience in working with most types of building in this sector and can provide early advice on what the key issues will be to ensure compliance.
Education
Education is another sector where there are sector specific rules that have to be followed. Suboptimal acoustic conditions within a teaching area for example can negatively affect pupils’ attainment so there are specific acoustic requirements for schools. We have extensive experience within the education sector from pre-schools and nursery facilities, public and private schools, universities and research facilities.
