44 Hanford Avenue, Liverpool, Merseyside, L9 3BW, Liverpool
Led by Chris Cousineau, we bridge the gap between commercial-grade expertise and the homeowner/SME sector. From complex defect diagnosis to full-scale project management, we provide the rigorous oversight needed to prevent cost overruns and ensure high-quality construction standards.
Professional Oversight for Merseyside and Beyond
We are a dedicated property and building surveying practice based in Merseyside, providing core professional services to businesses, property developers, and homeowners throughout the UK. Whether you are moving premises, concerned about a structural defect, or planning a major redevelopment, we provide the technical expertise to ensure your investment is protected.
At Lynwoods, we believe that every project—no matter the size—deserves the same level of rigour found in large-scale commercial construction. We pride ourselves on being approachable yet uncompromising on standards, helping our clients navigate the complexities of building ownership and construction with confidence.
Led by Chris Cousineau: Expertise Across Every Sector
Our practice is led by Chris Cousineau, a Chartered Building Surveyor with a wealth of experience across the property and construction landscape. Chris has spent years working with a diverse range of clients, including:
- Domestic homeowners and property developers
- Commercial landlords and tenants
- Rail operating companies
- Insurance underwriters and loss adjusters
This breadth of experience means we understand the unique pressures of different sectors, from the regulatory hurdles of a medical centre extension to the technical demands of industrial site maintenance.
Solving the "Hidden" Problems: Specialist Defect Diagnosis
Building defects—from cracking walls to persistent damp—can be stressful and costly. We act as building detectives, using our expertise to identify the root cause of failures rather than just treating the symptoms. We specialise in diagnosing issues arising from poor design, substandard workmanship, or simple lack of maintenance.
"We don't just tell you what is wrong; we provide a roadmap to fix it. We advise on your options for remedy and provide realistic costings so you can make informed decisions."
From Inception to Delivery: Managing Your Construction Risks
Many homeowners and SMEs fall into the trap of engaging builders without written contracts or proper Building Regulation approval. We are here to prevent those risks. Our "Process Model" ensures your project stays on track:
- Inception: We review your ideas and propose outline solutions.
- Strategy: We formulate a plan based on your budget, timescales, and legal obligations.
- Development: We ensure risks are minimised and all specialist advice is in place.
- Delivery: We manage the project to completion, keeping everything flexible and on track.
