What our clients say…

Burrington Estates has worked closely with Naismiths across a number of our residential developments in the South West, providing our senior and junior lenders with robust analysis and detailed initial/progress reports to support their ongoing funding of the business.

The Naismiths team have been a pleasure to work with over the years, their professional and diligent approach to surveying facilitating a strong working relationship. Their in-depth knowledge of the housebuilding industry, meticulous reports and timely site visits, provide both Burrington Estates and our funders with comfort that our developments are on track and work has been completed to a high standard. We look forward to working with Naismiths on many future developments.

Naismiths’ consistent and diligent approach supports the service we are proud to provide to our clients and partners. Always on hand to assist when required, Naismiths help ensure that we continue to deliver results of the highest standard

Naismiths has been a preferred monitoring surveyor for Downing funds investing in several large care home developments over the last couple of years and has provided a consistently high quality of service on new build and refurbishment projects alike, taking time to understand funding dynamics and adding value.

Naismiths has unquestionably been our astute and dependable partner in delivering this scheme, with this completion heavily reliant upon its expertise for the eventual successful outcome.

The team have been meticulous in the contract administration elements, as well as being consistently honest and informative in its approach to communication.

We will confidently embark on future projects with Naismiths by our side.

Over the past five years Mumbles Group Ltd has carried out several multi-million pound development projects requiring close cost monitoring from initial planning stages to completion on site. We have always worked closely with Naismiths which provided bank monitoring services required by our funders. The level of professionalism and attention to detail displayed by the company provided assurance to our bankers, resulting in smooth and timely drawdowns of funds. Its deep understanding of construction processes and buildability consistently helped our teams to deliver successful projects. We would highly recommend Naismiths to any company looking for exceptional professional and friendly services.

Naismiths has been on our monitoring panel for some time, with its Exeter and Nottingham offices both providing excellent service to the bank. Reporting is concise and to the point, with all information easily accessible and the team quick to respond to any queries we may have.

We are currently undertaking a development of three houses in Poole which Naismiths is monitoring and our surveyor involved is crucial to this progressing well and on budget. We hold a strong relationship with Naismiths and look forward to continuing business together.

Naismiths provided expert project management and technical support in defect remediation and dispute resolution matters to conclude a long-running distressed project, which included a successful defence to an Adjudication.

The team worked closely with our legal team to provide clarity, direction and insight across an array of complex technical matters, incrementally de-risking our position and finally concluding in a settlement very much in favour of the client.

“The Naismiths team provide advice, guidance and support to both the Bank and their clients throughout each project, providing an efficient, diligent and professional service from start to finish.”
