Neal Highfield

With over 30 years’ experience in the industry Neal has worked within the residential, commercial, public and private sectors covering all aspects of building surveying and project management services across a huge variety of buildings.

Core specialisms include Contract Administration, Planned Maintenance Programmes and Defect Diagnosis. His experience includes major works refurbishments to privately owned residential blocks. Recent projects include a re-cladding project to a large residential block and project managing the refurbishment of commercial offices and providing professional expertise in such matters as Party Walls, Licences for Alteration and Dilapidations.

Other areas of expertise include acting as retained surveyor and the delivery of building surveying services to large estates and residential developments. 

Neal is a member of the Pyramus and Thisbes Society, which seeks to promote best practice in relation to Party Wall procedures. He also acts as mentor to APC candidates, who are seeking qualification to join the RICS by undertaking the role of and APC Supervisor or Councillor.

Astute Surveyors took the worry out of the whole complex process of roof replacement.  In this, they demonstrated a depth of knowledge and expertise that reflected their extensive experience of facilitating such projects.  They were sensitive to cost savings and attentive to any concerns that arose, and as project managers were both efficient and helpful in any negotiations with contractors.  As a Board, we found their rigorous system of reporting and internal meetings particularly helpful in supporting our mandate to oversee such projects.

 

The Directors: The Exchange Building, 132 Commercial Street, E1.  

Neal from Astute has been our retained surveyor for several years. It is extremely reassuring for us to have someone on hand who knows our block and is available for everything related to the fabric of the building from big to small: from condition surveys for the renovation of flats to organising the complete refurbishment of our plant room. Neal gives quick and practical advice for which we are always grateful.

I have worked with Neal Highfield for over 10 years engaging Neal to complete defects reports, PPM’s and act as Contract Administrator on a number of works projects. Neal has always been quick to respond, reports have been professionally completed with practical advice. The projects have been completed on budget and on time with regular and coherent updates throughout the course of works. Neals expert knowledge, attention to detail and help is always appreciated by myself and my clients.
