Browsing: Major Works

Behind every building is a group of people, and the reality is that the decisions we make do not just affect structures, they affect daily lives.

Alongside mortgage payments, there are service charges, reserve fund contributions and, at times, significant costs for major works.

Many disputes arise from misunderstandings, poor communication, or a failure to follow correct legal procedures.

Major works are vital for maintaining the safety, structural integrity, and value of a block and its flats.

Whether it’s roof replacement, façade repair, window renewal or fire safety upgrades, these projects are essential for the long-term health of the building.

Across the UK, Residents’ Management Companies (RMCs) are facing a common challenge: rising service charges.

Leaseholders in blocks of flats can find themselves navigating a legal maze when it comes to making structural changes.

For any RMC, few responsibilities are as significant, or as scrutinised, as the planning and delivery of major works.

Maintaining the cleanliness and structural integrity of your block is a vital part of protecting residents’ wellbeing, controlling costs and safeguarding the long-term value of the building.
