05FAQ

Straight answers.

No. Geotech tells you the ground science — soil type and foundations. It doesn't price the earthworks, retaining, drainage, access or spoil. We translate it into what the works actually cost.

Yes — that's the ideal time. The earlier we look, the more options you have and the cheaper they are.

Yes. We regularly work to tight pre-auction and conditional deadlines. Flag the date in your enquiry.

The address or title, plus any geotech, survey or plans you have. Even just a location is enough to start.

A written 'Food for Thought' summary with risks, opportunities and indicative cost bands, plus a verbal walkthrough. Plain English.

No. The consult stands alone. You can take the works to tender separately if you prefer.

The Peard Site Feasibility Assessment provides practical site works insights based on hands-on construction experience. It does not replace engineering, structural, geotechnical, architectural, legal, surveying, planning or quantity-surveying advice. Indicative budget bands are for planning purposes only — not fixed quotes. Always obtain independent professional advice before purchasing land, finalising a design or commencing construction.
