Future projects already in the pipeline include the management of cladding remediation work on behalf of a national UK housebuilder, as well as the pre-acquisition survey and reinstatement cost assessment of a Victorian Stucco rendered grade II listed hotel, comprising of five merged grand house terraces within the Bayswater Conservation Area.
Adding to the team in London, Jack Chamberlain was also recently hired as a senior project manager, bringing experience from development schemes in the hotels and hospitality, commercial, education, residential and retail sectors. He joins from Corrigan Gore and previously held roles with Cushman & Wakefield and Gardiner & Theobald.
Hamish Paterson, director and head of building surveying at Thomas & Adamson, said, “The introduction of Stephen, leading our London office to provide extensive building surveying capabilities, is an exciting step for the firm and increases the services we are currently offering for clients in the capital. Stephen has wide-ranging experience in a variety of sectors, and his specialism in party wall matters will be an especially valuable addition. We are pleased to welcome him on board and look forward to expanding the team further in due course.”
Stephen Hart added, “Joining Thomas & Adamson to head up London building surveying team, and continuing to support the growth of its business in the south was an opportunity that came at an ideal time. The firm has a strong reputation in the market and ambitious plans for 2025 that I am excited to be part of this process.”
