The Easement Crest Database

We have developed our customisable database, to optimise project management efficiency and client experience. Here we record all our projects and their progress to keep clients accurately informed with every new update. This bespoke service was built in-house and is continually evolving to meet our clients' individual needs.


Since inception we have partnered with two of our clients to create their own database portals, allowing us to grant shared client access. Doing so maximises the efficiency of the project from either side as our clients can review the latest updates whenever they like. This is something we can continue to incorporate into our database, should a potential client wish to have their own direct access point.

Crest database
The database can, at any time, run a client-specific report to produce a comprehensive spreadsheet with all the desired data necessary for review. We share these on a scheduled basis with our current clients, at their desired frequency.

Our database is a source of great pride and continues to drive our commitment to efficient and effective management.

Drawings - CAD piece

With more than twenty years of extensive shared experience, our in-house AutoCAD team produces all our land registry compliant legal drawings, without delay.

These are in accordance with various network operators’ requirements to meet the needs of each individual client. We can also provide Section 38 overlays, or land registry overlays as needed.
