The award asks for notice; nobody records it
Awards commonly require notice of noisy works and clear access for inspections. In practice the notice is a word over the fence, and six weeks later nobody can say whether it was given.
For party wall surveyors
A dated record of the works, for every award you serve.
Most disputes after an award are about what happened and when: whether notice of the noisy works was given, when the crack appeared, what the builder did about it. Noisy Neighbour gives the building owner a page that records all of it, and gives you something better than two inboxes to look back through.

Notice
Cutting pockets for the steel in the party wall from Monday to Wednesday, 8am to 5pm. Expect drilling on the shared wall.
Loud cracking from the chimney breast side this morning. Can someone check the wall?
We stopped and looked: the pocket is on our side as the award sets out. Photos attached, and your surveyor has them too.

Sound familiar?
Three things that go wrong without a page
Damage claims turn on dates
An adjoining owner reports a crack. Whether it predates the pocket for the steel is a question of when it was first mentioned and what the builder photographed that day.
You get the call that should have gone to the builder
The adjoining owner has your number and not the site's, so every bit of dust and noise becomes a call to you, billed to nobody.
How it works
Three steps, then it runs itself
Nothing for neighbours to install. The QR code opens a web page, and everything happens on that page.
01
Set it up, or send the link to your owner
Set the page up for the building owner in five minutes and hand it over, or send them this page. Either way the site, the hours and the builder go on it.
02
The adjoining owners join from the QR sheet
The sheet goes on the front of the property. Adjoining owners scan it to read the page and leave an email for notices, with nothing to install.
03
Read the record whenever you need it
Join the page yourself. Every notice, every report and every reply is dated, with photos, so an inspection or a later dispute starts from the same facts.
What you get
Everything in one account
Dated notices of noisy works, emailed to adjoining owners who join
Every report logged with photos, timestamps and the owner's confirmation
The surveyor on the page, reading the record without relaying anything
The builder answers reports directly, so the calls stop coming to you

What people ask before they start
Who pays for it?
The building owner, or their builder, as part of running the site. There is no charge to the surveyor or to the adjoining owners, and it is free for the owner to try.
What does it cost?
£5 per site per week, bought as prepaid weeks, with 10 weeks for £45 (save 10%), 20 weeks for £75 (save 25%). Neighbours never pay and there is no per-neighbour charge. Everything is free for your first 7 days, with no card needed to start.
Does using it change the award or my role?
No. It is a record of what happened on site. The award stands as served and you remain the surveyor; the page just means the facts you are asked about are written down with dates.
Can both surveyors see it?
Yes. Anyone the owner invites can read the page, so the adjoining owner's surveyor, or an agreed surveyor, sees the same record.
Do neighbours need to install anything?
No. The QR code opens an ordinary web page. A neighbour who wants the notices by email leaves an address; everyone else just reads the page.
