Introduction to Philip Newman MRICS Chartered Building Surveyor

Philip has a reputation for providing sensible and straightforward advice on building and construction issues and a service tailored to meet the specific needs of the client wherever it’s required. His core clients use him as one of their trusted key advisors.

He provides a range of services within the scope of building surveying expertise, and has a range of regular clients that include a national charity, hotel, pub and wedding venue operators, and nursery and care home developers, corporate funders and regional and national companies. He’s as happy working for private individuals or small companies on a one-off basis, or providing consultancy services to other property professionals.

Phil is based in Petersfield in Hampshire but covers the whole of the UK, with a significant number of instructions around London, recent projects in Bristol, Exeter, Cambridge, Buckinghamshire and Bedfordshire, and frequent trips for acquisition surveys everywhere, many of them in Scotland.

Many thanks for this and for all your help over the year, It is always a delight to work with you and your no nonsense, pragmatic and knowledgeable approach is a breath of fresh air in these days where so many start with trying to work out why something can’t be done, rather than how it can be.

Hi Philip. This is fantastic. Once again thank you for looking over the building. Puts my mind at rest. And really interesting to see all the details that are not obvious while looking around. I have also got quotes for repainting window frames and roof etc. So, I now have a better idea of everything.

Ah, Philip Newman, the project manager who brings projects in on time and within budget.

Having Phil advising us on this has been very much a person-to-person experience; I really feel he is completely engaged in working for me, not just for a company selling a service to me. I feel that I am getting honest and independent advice from him whenever I need it.
