  • Bruce Spenser MSc LCGI | Party Wall Third Surveyor
    4.8
    Ramsgate, GB

    Party Wall Third Surveyor - Bruce Spenser MSc LCGI Bruce acts as the Third Surveyor throughout England and Wales. He also acts as the agreed Party Wall Surveyor in Thanet. Bruce no longer acts as the Party Wall Surveyor for the Building Surveyor or the Party Wall Surveyor for the Adjoining Owner. Expert Advice and Guidance Bruce is often asked for advice on current disputes, awards and actions and non-actions of appointed Party Wall Surveyors etc. The only advice he can give is what all Party Wall Surveyors should give; Contact a Party Wall Lawyer. Again Bruce does not give advice prior to being appointed; this is similar to approaching a Judge before the case is heard. Beware Party Wall Surveyors offering sprats to catch Mackerals (you and the other unfortunate owners in the dispute)!! Building Surveys Bruce no longer offers Building Surveys, however the menu for Building Surveys (at the foot of the page) cover all possible Building Defects and their rectification and the legal and ethical requirements of those offering Building Surveys. Bruce’s Building Survey Template is available for a fixed fee of £500.00 for one use. Contact Bruce Call Bruce

  • Kent Archaeological Projects
    2 Windmill Court, Borstal Hill, 2 Windmill Court Borstal Hill Whitstable Kent, Whitstable, CT5 4QH, GB

    Our Approach to Archaeology Kent Archaeological Projects (KAP) has become aware that archaeological factors play a critically important role on many sites, often due to archaeological specifications issued by local authorities as conditions of planning consent. We understand the challenges this presents to our clients and are committed to providing comprehensive and efficient solutions. The Issue There is a growing statutory requirement for site-specific archaeological desk-based research, walkover and geophysical surveys, evaluations, and extensive archaeological excavation before redevelopment or site disposal. Without prior knowledge of the archaeological potential and proper preparation, these requirements can cause significant disruption and delays, potentially jeopardizing the viability of the entire project. The Objective KAP conducts pre-planning application archaeological investigations on all types of sites to assess their archaeological potential. This allows for essential forward planning regarding finance, scheduling, and the necessary mitigation strategies required by the statutory authorities. We utilize the most appropriate techniques, ranging from non-intrusive magnetometery surveys to evaluation trenching, to provide an initial archaeological appraisal and determine the probable nature, extent, and significance of any archaeological remains, and how mitigation would affect any proposed redevelopment. The Solution Our professionally accredited staff boasts over twenty years of experience in the field and can effectively liaise with local authorities to agree on suitable and efficient mitigation measures, facilitating the discharge of archaeological conditions attached to planning consent. In many cases, minor modifications to a planned redevelopment can avoid costly and time-consuming archaeological work. After determining the probable type, extent, and overall significance of the archaeology and agreeing on a mitigation strategy with the relevant regulating body, KAP can undertake any required archaeological works to satisfy both the client and the archaeological authorities.

Frequently Asked Questions About Excavation Contractors

Find answers to common questions about excavation contractors and hiring excavation professionals in the UK.

How do I find a good excavation contractor?

Finding a reputable excavation contractor involves careful research and consideration. Look for the following qualities:
  • Experience: Choose contractors with a proven track record and years of experience in excavation projects similar to yours.
  • Licensing and Insurance: Verify that they are properly licensed to operate in your area and carry adequate insurance to protect you from liability in case of accidents or damage.
  • Equipment and Resources: Ensure they have the necessary equipment and resources to handle your project efficiently and safely.
  • Positive Reviews and References: Check online reviews and testimonials from previous customers. Request references and contact them to inquire about their experience with the contractor.
  • Professionalism: Opt for a company that communicates clearly, provides detailed and transparent estimates, and has a responsive and courteous team.
Online directories like ExcavationHQ can simplify the process by allowing you to compare qualified excavation contractors in your area.

What is the difference between topsoil and subsoil?

Topsoil and subsoil are distinct soil layers with different properties:
Topsoil: The uppermost layer, typically rich in organic matter, nutrients, and microorganisms. It's essential for plant growth and is often darker in color.
Subsoil: The layer beneath the topsoil, containing less organic matter and generally denser. It provides support for roots but is less fertile than topsoil.
During excavation, topsoil is often removed and preserved separately for later use in landscaping, while subsoil is typically used for backfilling or other less demanding applications.

How deep can you excavate?

The depth of excavation achievable depends on multiple factors:
  • Soil Type and Stability: Stable, cohesive soils allow for deeper excavations than loose or unstable soils.
  • Groundwater Level: Excavations below the water table require dewatering techniques to manage water intrusion.
  • Equipment and Resources: The size and capabilities of excavation equipment influence the achievable depth.
  • Safety Regulations: OSHA and other safety regulations impose limitations on trench depths without proper shoring or sloping.
  • Project Requirements: The purpose of the excavation (basement, pool, foundation) determines the necessary depth.
Experienced excavation contractors can assess your site and project specifics to determine the safe and feasible excavation depth.

How long does an excavation project take?

The duration of an excavation project varies significantly depending on factors like:
  • Project Size and Scope: Larger, more complex excavations naturally take longer.
  • Soil Conditions: Rocky or challenging soil types can slow down progress.
  • Site Accessibility: Limited access might require more time for maneuvering equipment and hauling materials.
  • Weather: Inclement weather can cause delays.
  • Permitting and Inspections: Waiting for permits or inspections can extend the timeline.
Your excavation contractor can provide a more accurate estimate after assessing your project's specifics.
