MSc works with homeowners on substantial residential projects, providing the design, engineering and construction expertise needed to plan and deliver work effectively.
Projects can involve significant changes to an existing property, combining structural alterations, extensions, renovation and improvements to services and infrastructure. Our multidisciplinary team allows these different requirements to be considered together, with individual services available where needed or a wider scope managed by MSc.
Significant property improvements require careful consideration of both the existing building and the proposed changes.
We support residential projects at different stages, helping clients determine what is practical, address technical requirements, and progress to construction with a clear understanding of the work involved.
For projects requiring broader support, design, structural engineering, construction and fit-out can all be coordinated through MSc.
Establishing the right information before construction starts can help avoid unnecessary changes once work is underway.
Depending on the scope of the project, we can provide:
Our design, surveying and engineering services provide the technical information needed to develop practical proposals and prepare for the construction stage.
Our construction team delivers substantial alterations and improvements to residential properties, with each stage managed in line with the agreed plans and requirements.
The work we undertake covers:
Where MSc is responsible for the wider project, trades and specialist works are coordinated as part of the construction programme, providing clients with clear oversight throughout.
The requirements of a residential project can extend well beyond the visible building work. Foundations, drainage and site conditions all need to be properly addressed where they form part of the scheme.
Supporting civil engineering and preparation works may involve:
Having access to civil and structural engineering within the wider team enables these elements to be planned around the property’s construction requirements.
Existing properties may require changes to utilities and services as part of a major renovation, extension or wider upgrade.
MSc can provide and coordinate:
Considering these requirements alongside the main project helps ensure the property’s infrastructure is appropriate for the proposed changes and future use.
Support does not have to end when the construction work is complete. MSc provides proactive maintenance and aftercare for completed projects, helping protect the work and maintain the property over the longer term.
Planned preventive maintenance and compliance monitoring can be supported alongside EPC and energy-efficiency improvements, where required.
We also provide asbestos surveys, removal and ongoing asbestos management, with appropriate inspection, reporting and compliance support.
If you are considering significant work to your property in Chester, use our Project Planner to give us an initial overview of what you have in mind.
You can provide details of the proposed work, budget and timeframe, along with any drawings or supporting documents already available. This gives our team the information needed to review your requirements and determine the appropriate next steps.
