Could structural engineering in Holland Park involve the Party Wall Act?
Some structural engineering briefs in Holland Park may raise neighbour interfaces under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 — for example works to a shared wall, excavations near a boundary, or new structures astride a boundary. Not every structural engineering job is a party-wall matter.

Formal notices, awards and surveyor appointments remain with the building owner and appointed surveyors; any required appointments must be agreed separately.
If you already hold a party-wall notice, award or neighbour correspondence, attach it with photographs so professional input can be sequenced before irreversible build steps. An appointed surveyor can advise on the notice or agreement needed for the proposed work.
