Common Building Issues in Clapton

On Clapton projects, damp in Victorian terrace solid brick walls, structural movement in Edwardian houses on London clay, defective flat roofs on post-war infill housing identified before appointment inform how we structure the contract's risk allocation - what the contractor is deemed to have priced for, and what remains the employer's risk if further issues emerge.

Planning and Conservation in Clapton

Clapton is within Hackney with several conservation area designations; Hackney Council applies strict controls and Article 4 directions across many residential streets. This context is a recurring theme in our Clapton employer's agent instructions, and keeping it visible through procurement, contract and delivery is part of protecting the employer's position throughout.
