Understanding a property before deciding.

An architect’s assessment of a property’s condition

Building Asset Advisory

An architect’s assessment of a property’s condition, risks and ageing.

The Building Survey (BS) can be carried out whenever a decision needs to be informed: before an acquisition or sale, in connection with an inheritance, gift or transfer of assets, or when a specific issue requires investigation.

The Comprehensive Building Survey (CBS) takes the assessment further through a higher level of investigation and, where necessary, the involvement of independent specialists.

For properties already owned, the Asset Review & Planned Maintenance Programme (AR-PMP) extends this approach over time, addressing building ageing, anticipated interventions and future expenditure.

Owner’s Representation during the works

Owner’s Representation

One interest only: the client’s.

From the decision to undertake works through to completion and handover, CH_G supports and represents the client at every stage: defining the brief, consulting contractors, reviewing proposals, and monitoring budget, programme, quality of execution and outstanding items.

Independent from all parties involved in the project, with no commissions or commercial interests, CH_G acts exclusively in the client’s interest. Owner’s Representation does not make decisions on the client’s behalf; it provides the technical, financial and contractual information required to make informed decisions.

CH_G also helps the client understand their rights and obligations and navigate the respective responsibilities of all parties throughout the project.

02Why CH_G?

  • You know exactly what you are buying

    Before signing, CH_G identifies what a standard inspection misses: structural defects, voted works never funded, apparent non-compliance.

  • Your worksite runs wherever you are

    CH_G is on site in your place. Every week, a structured report, photographs, a clear position on every open point.

  • No commission, no conflict of interest

    CH_G has no interest in how works are awarded. No commercial ties with any contractor working on your property.

  • A clear framework before anything begins

    Every mission is governed by a signed letter of appointment. Exact scope, limits of intervention, responsibilities defined. Nothing starts until the terms are agreed.

  • A reading that goes beyond the visual

    Twenty years reading Parisian buildings. Timber floors that warp, load-bearing walls behind partitions, AGM minutes that reveal what the visit does not show.

  • One point of contact from start to finish

    Charbel Ghanem coordinates, synthesises and reports back. A single entry point, clear accountability, a direct relationship.

A first conversation is usually enough to establish whether an assignment is useful, and which one. It is confidential and without obligation.
