Following the survey, AJK will review the required management plan to meet both the short term and long term aspirations for the site.Tendering Services

AJK will advise on whether the proposed Japanese Knotweed Management Plan/ Options Appraisal should be implemented by a tenant specifically where their activities have the potential to exacerbate the infestation.Nuisance Claims
AJK will provide advice and liaise with adjacent landowners where it can be demonstrated their poor management has caused Japanese Knotweed to impact on your land.Project Management
Where further works are required at a site, AJK can provide project management services for tendering works, managing the site works and agreeing final accounts/ verification reports.
