Without the record information, it becomes difficult
to determine whether what was built complied with
Building Regulations at the time, or what the
expected life span of particular components was.

Apart from that, the time required to write the report
will invariably take longer as information is sourced
and costs will increase where the investigative works
are more extensive due to a lack of information.
John Hinchliffe is a Chartered Quantity Surveyor, Project Manager and Capital
Programme Manager. He is Director of WT Partnership UK and Europe and WT
Partnership Guernsey, a major international project management and cost
management consultancy.
He has over 40 years’ experience as a quantity surveyor, over 30 years’ experience as a
project manager and over 10 years’ experience as an expert witness in both the private
and public sectors. John is experienced in cost management, project management,
contract management, change management, design management, risk analysis, contract
claims, arbitration, and adjudication. John has acted as an expert witness on quantum
and professional negligence disputes and has experience of being cross-examination in
the High Court. He is also a CEDR accredited mediator.
In summary, be prepared to consider that the
information missing will be on an inverse exponential
curve for, the further back in history the building was
built, the less information there is likely to be.
John has over 30 years in the private sector as quantity surveyor and project manager
involving commercial and health service projects, both traditional and under PFI. He is
experienced in dispute resolution and providing wider management consultancy. John
has over 15 years’ experience working in Central Government as a quantity surveyor,
