Employer's Agent Services in Peckham

Employer's Agent Services across Peckham

Design and build developments in Peckham require an employer's agent to protect the client's interests throughout the project. We act as the employer's representative, managing contractor obligations and ensuring the development is delivered in accordance with the employer's requirements. Our knowledge of Peckham's development context ensures employer's requirements are properly defined from the outset.

Our employer's agent team manages design and build contracts for residential and commercial developments across Peckham. We ensure the employer's requirements are properly defined, monitor design development and manage the construction process. The planning and consent evidence recorded in the local context below is used when employer's requirements are written and when confirmed consent conditions are reviewed.

Common Building Issues in Peckham

On Peckham projects, damp in Victorian solid-wall terraces, structural movement in post-war social housing on London clay, moisture ingress through converted Victorian commercial buildings 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 Peckham

Bellenden Road Conservation Area; Southwark Council has a regeneration framework for the area; design codes apply to Peckham town centre development. Where a Peckham scheme needs heritage consent, we build the realistic timeline into the project programme from the outset, since assuming a faster route than the constraint allows is a common cause of employer's agent instructions turning contentious.

Getting to Peckham

Our surveyors cover Peckham and the surrounding Southwark area. The area is accessible via Peckham Rye (Overground), Queens Road Peckham (Overground), and our team carries out regular inspections across Peckham SE15.

The local context on this page is drawn from public planning, conservation and geological sources, together with the professional framework Employer's Agent appointments run on: Southwark conservation areas; Southwark Article 4 directions; BGS Geology of Britain viewer; RICS Rules of Conduct; Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015; Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996 (payment). These sources support the area context; they do not replace inspection of the specific building, and the exact planning, conservation-area and Article 4 position should be confirmed with the council for the specific address.
