On a day-to-day basis we would have a look at our emails and see which one of our clients had replied back. We will then proceed to draft wayleave or Deed of Easement agreements for our clients for a finished project. Communicating with contractors over the phone to find out what our next steps are. Then we will go on site to take images for a pre work Record of Condition.
