How our paperwork compares to RICS and FPWS versions.
What makes our paperwork superior
How the Coburns framework compares with standard RICS and FPWS templates.
Clearer for neighbours
Plain-English explanations and step-by-step guidance reduce confusion and encourage early engagement.
Stronger practical protections
Detailed clauses for dust, debris, scaffolding, roof, chimney, flue, excavation and contractor behaviour — protecting both properties.
Superior condition records
Allows photos, video, drone and 360° imagery where appropriate, with clear scope and limitations. Our approach →
Access that’s practical & fair
Purpose-limited access with timing, privacy, security, protection and debris-clearance requirements built in.
Dispute reduction built in
Proactive wording and processes to prevent misunderstandings and resolve issues early.
Handles non-response & future issues
Clear procedures for non-response, amendments and future disputes — keeping projects moving.
RICS and FPWS templates were not designed with the practical realities of every project in mind. Coburns paperwork is built from experience on thousands of projects and real disputes — giving both owners better protection, clearer communication and smoother outcomes.
