The practice is RICS regulated and has operated since 2004 on residential and mixed-use schemes. Most airspace schemes need rights of light assessments for the neighbouring buildings affected by the new height.
Issues that typically need handling include scaffolding placement, deliveries to upper levels, temporary loss of parking, noise restrictions, and access to the roof. The role is continuous, with the same surveyor staying on the project from start to finish. Calls are answered by a qualified surveyor, not a call centre.
Airspace work in Basildon almost always sits alongside daylight and sunlight reports for the planning application, party wall awards for the works themselves, and rights of light review for surrounding buildings. The free initial assessment covers the likely route through all of these workstreams.
The Schedule records the state of each flat before construction begins, so any damage claim later can be checked against documented evidence. The point of contact arrangement means residents have one named surveyor to speak to rather than a developer's site office. For planning, Basildon Borough Council reviews schemes on design and neighbour amenity grounds, and party wall services usually run in parallel. A free initial assessment covers how these strands fit together on a specific site.
