Howard Jenkins Consultancy

We are a Winchester-based practice with a national reputation for technical excellence. Our principal, Howard Jenkins, didn't just qualify as a surveyor; he won the Robert Henry Mills Prize for the highest marks worldwide in his RICS final examinations. Since then, we have spent over four decades mastering the anatomy of buildings, from their initial conception to complex post-construction disputes.

We provide a professional yet deeply personal service. Whether you are a private homeowner, a local charity, or an international corporation, you receive the direct attention of a Fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (FRICS) with a lifetime of experience.

Led by a World-Class Expert

Our practice is defined by the expertise of Howard Jenkins, who has been in private practice since 1979. Howard is not just a practitioner but a leader in the field, currently sitting on the RICS Dispute Resolution Working Group and serving as an assessor for the RICS Expert Witness Accreditation Scheme.

His career has seen him interviewed by national press and television, and his expertise has been sought for projects as far afield as Russia and the USA. When you hire us, you are hiring a consultant who literally helps set the standards for the rest of the profession.

From Cottages to Aircraft Hangars

We don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach because we know that every building behaves differently. Our experience spans the entire architectural spectrum:

• Residential: From small provincial terraces and period cottages to grand London houses and sprawling country estates.
• Commercial: Lock-up shops, supermarkets, and high-end office blocks.
• Industrial: Scruffy workshops, international distribution centres, and even aircraft hangars.
• Leisure: Historic pubs and modern hotels.

Resolving High-Stakes Disputes

We are frequently instructed by regional, national, and international law firms to act as Expert Advisers and Expert Witnesses. Howard has acted in more than 150 construction and property disputes, ranging in value from a few thousand pounds to circa £100 million.

Our goal is always to bring about a solution as quickly and cost-effectively as possible. We take pride in our ability to 'narrow the issues' during expert meetings, often allowing our clients to reach a wise settlement and avoid the stress and expense of a full court hearing.
