Additional and more occasional roles will include defect diagnosis and planned preventative maintenance (PPM) schedules. These tasks will be undertaken across a range of property types, with an emphasis on office and industrial buildings in the south east for the dilapidations/construction work and a wide range of property types across UK and Europe for the due diligence.
