Practice Areas

Quantity Surveying	This comprehensive service to the construction industry embraces projects from inception to completion including Feasibility Studies, Cost Planning, Risk Management, Value Engineering, Life Cycle costs through to Bills of Quantities, Tender Reporting, Financial Reporting and Final Valuation of the Works. The firm works in all sectors of development from minor works to multi-million pound undertakings.
Project Management	The drive to see projects carried out to sensible programmes and completed within cost and timescale has resulted in significant growth in the demand for this service from new and 'return' clients. Experience at present covers office and workshop development, further education, tourism and housing related projects. The role of 'Employer's Agent' in Design Build projects is a frequent appointment for this section.
Planning Supervisor	Since April 1995, when the new CDM Regulations came into force, KLM Partnership has developed a very busy Planning Supervisor Department, run by B C Paterson FRICS, MAPS. KLM Partnership maintains a complement of two fully trained Planning Supervisors across the Practice. To manage the delivery of KLM Partnership's service effectively and ensure the highest standards, the practice extended its accredited Quality Management System in August 1998 to include the Planning Supervisor Service. KLM Partnership is committed to assessing client requirements accurately, and encouraging all parties to address the Health & Safety issues diligently and timeously.
Building Surveying	This section of the Practice concentrates mainly on 'Condition survey' work. Surveys of Historic Buildings, and large scale, nationwide social housing illustrate most recent activity. Maintenance planning and life cycle cost assessment also form part of the Building Surveying diet.
