SPECIALIST PROPERTY ADAPTATIONS | PROJECT MANAGEMENT FOR DEPUTIES
Turnkey property adaptations that protect client funds and satisfy the Court.
We act as dedicated architectural designers, project managers, and contract administrators for Court of Protection professional and lay deputies. We manage the entire adaptation lifecycle - from pre-purchase property audits to planning, competitive contractor tendering, and on-site JCT contract administration.
FIXED TRANSPARENT FEES | RIGOROUS COMPETITIVE CONTRACTOR TENDERING | COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL REPORRTING | ROBUST COST CONTROL
You are managing damages, not running a building site.
Court of Protection deputies carry strict fiduciary liability under the Mental Capacity Act 2005. Handing client funds to general domestic builders without independent architectural specification and formal contract administration routinely results in:
Uncontrolled variation costs that exceed court-authorized budgets.
Inaccessible details executed incorrectly (e.g., a threshold lip that stops an electric wheelchair).
Contractor insolvency mid-build with zero contractual retention protection.
| OUR ROLE: We are your technical shield. We ensure every pound spent on the property is justifiable, competitively procured, legally contracted, and signed off only when structurally compliant.

Managing the Court of Protection Process
| The Challenge
A professional deputy held a court-sanctioned budget of £350,000 to adapt a detached property for a 14-year-old with quadriplegic cerebral palsy. Initial contractor estimates exceeded £480,000.
| Our Intervention
We re-engineered the spatial layout, shifting from an expensive two-storey lateral extension to a rationalized ground-floor footprint utilizing modular steel framing.
| The Result
The project was tendered to three approved contractors and completed at £338,500 (under budget), including a ceiling track hoist, through-floor lift, carer en-suite, and hydrotherapy washroom. Handed over on time with zero court budget discrepancies.
