Strategic Partnerships

We recognise that many property issues require specialist input from other experts in areas such as building surveying, town planning, taxation, estate agency, finance, legal, building infrastructure, environmental, structural & mechanical engineering and construction cost analysis.

 

We regularly accept appointments which require input from a multi disciplinary team. At an early stage in a project we can advise and guide our clients as to what appointments are necessary, when and at what cost. The appointment and co-ordination of advisors and contractors is a key element to the success of any multi-disciplinary project.


Ridge Asset Management maintains a network of specialists who have a proven track record in their field of expertise. As project co-ordinators we ensure our clients strategic and commercial objectives are achieved, if required, providing our clients with a single point of contact throughout a project.
