Richard Hourican was excellent in handling the party wall matters for our new build. Communication was great throughout and everything was handled efficiently, which made the whole process much less stressful. Would highly recommend!
Richard and his team acted as party wall surveyor on our renovation/extension project in Richmond. They have been on the ball, polite, very good with neighbours (2 out of the 3 neighbours accepted them as surveyors), and efficient at closing out the Awards. The Awards are comprehensive and clear. Fees are very fair.
Richard was a great recommendation and went above and beyond to arrange complex party wall agreements for both sets of neighbours. He worked well with our border team as plans changed and then came together and was highly professional and collaborative. Arranged monitoring and liaised and communicated with everyone smoothly. Would be a great addition to any building project.
Richard was fantastic to work with - very efficient and knowledgeable, and got the work done with minimal fuss.
Richard was excellent to work with, we have 6 partywalls to complete in a short time and he kept us up to date throughout and chased daily to make sure they were done on time.
Geeat experience! Richard engaged with me quickly and communicated well at all stages, making the whole process easy and managing any queries promptly. I'd recommend him
Absolutely brilliant service. H&A assisted us on an urgent basis with a schedule of condition. They were prompt, efficient and extremely professional. The quality of their work speaks for itself. I would highly recommend them.
Richard has been extremely helpful when dealing with my queries about my neighbour extension works even after he was informed that he was not appointed as the party wall surveyor due to some communication issues. A great way to handle such situation professionally.
Highly recommend working with Richard and his team.
Richard was first class with how he helped me with my query. Despite immediately realising Hourican Associates couldn't help me with the work i required, he spent 15 minutes on the phone discussing my problem and directing me to other trusted professionals who could help me. Thanks!!
Used for a Party Wall Agreement. Incredibly efficient, fast and very responsive to any questions. Thank you!
I found out I needed party wall awards from no less than 8 neighbours and AFTER strip out works. Richard Hourican made saving the day a breeze, meeting all our new neighbours and walking them through the somewhat complicated party wall process. I had been told that one could do party wall awards yourself, I now understand there is absolutely no way that would have been done correctly or as efficiently without the help of Richard and his team. I recommend you call him and explain your situation, he'll sort it and give you a very reasonable fee for the pleasure.
