Common Building Issues in Twickenham

On Twickenham projects, damp in riverside properties subject to Thames flood risk, subsidence in Edwardian houses on alluvial river ground, deterioration of original timber joinery in conservation area properties 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 Twickenham

Twickenham Riverside Conservation Area with listed buildings; Richmond Council applies strict controls; the Thames setting has specific design guidance; flood risk assessment required for riverside and low-lying sites. We factor this into contractor selection and requirements on Twickenham projects, since not every contractor has genuine experience delivering to this kind of constraint, and that experience matters to programme certainty.
