ASPIN CONSULTING: DOMESTIC

Moving Home?
Planning to Improve?

"There's more to it than location, location, location" says Andy Hoffman.

Discerning home-owners planning to invest in a new property or to embark on a major remodelling project of their current home should not part with a penny without first consulting a qualified structural engineers, says one of the region's leading businessmen.

Failure to do so, warns award-winning chartered engineer Andy Hoffman, "could cost a small fortune and lead to a lot of sleepless nights."

Andy, managing director of Chesterfield-based Aspin Consulting Ltd, said this week: "Buying a family property is the most important investment most people ever make and it is potentially the highest financial risk they ever take."

"It's essential, therefore, that anyone planning to spend money on a new home or make substantial improvements should first have a comprehensive structural survey by somebody who is both qualified and experienced.

"Professional indemnity insurance is vital in any undertaking of this kind and that means employing a structural engineer with the right qualifications."

"For the home-owner, a mistake could prove costly in terms of both time and expense and could lead to a building disaster."

Aspin Consulting Ltd offers a free initial chat to discuss project options in a clear, no-nonsense manner.

Its eight-strong team can boast a total of 150-plus years experience and expertise in many specialist engineering disciplines.

Together, they have been engaged on construction projects ranging from the installation of a single internal wall steel beam to the total refurbishment of a group of historic buildings.

Says Andy, a chartered member of the Institute of Structural Engineers: "Our domestic properties team offers a flexible, innovative and cost-effective service"
