Independent construction consultancy serving homeowners, buyers and self-builders across Twyford, Reading, Wokingham, Maidenhead, Windsor, Bracknell, Henley-on-Thames and London. Not connected to your developer, builder, or vendor — genuinely independent, every time.
Three independent inspection and review services, built around giving you clarity before you commit.
A full visual, non-invasive inspection of your new build property, identifying defects and non-compliant workmanship — carried out independently of your developer or builder.
A visual, non-invasive pre-purchase inspection of an existing or resale home of any age, highlighting visible defects, maintenance issues, and anything that warrants a specialist's further assessment.
An independent, professional review of a builder or contractor's quotation before you commit — scope gaps, pricing sense-check, red flags, and questions to ask.
Full scope and pricing are available on request — get in touch for a quote based on your property and location.
Every inspection and review is carried out with no connection to your developer, builder, vendor, or estate agent. That means the findings you receive are shaped by what's actually on site — not by who's paying whom.
We work for you, not the developer or builder — so there's no incentive to soften what we find.
A full written report with photographic evidence, delivered within 48 hours — clear enough to hand straight to your builder or solicitor.
I run Hendrik Michael Ltd, an independent construction consultancy for homeowners, buyers and self-builders — alongside my day-to-day work as a Senior Construction Manager. Whether you're buying a new build or an existing property, I carry out the same independent, visual inspection: no connection to your developer, builder, or vendor, so you get a genuinely independent opinion, not a sales pitch.
In development and not yet available — get in touch to be kept informed as these launch.
Enquiries answered daily, with inspection times arranged flexibly around you.
