In addition to his construction background, Regan is qualified to undertake residential property surveys, including RICS HomeBuyer Reports. This has expanded Western Cape’s professional surveying services, enabling the business to support clients with RICS-regulated property and compliance-led surveying solutions. Western Cape is regulated by the RICS, ensuring all surveying services are delivered in accordance with the highest professional and ethical standards.

Lola & Milo 🐾
Senior Vice Presidents of Emotional Support
No introduction to Western Cape would be complete without mentioning Lola and Milo, Regan’s two cavapoos and the firm’s Heads of Emotional Support & Wellbeing.
While not formally RICS-regulated (yet), both maintain a strict open-door policy for stress management, pre-survey encouragement, and post-report decompression. Their core responsibilities include:
Supervising remote/home working arrangements
Providing moral support during complex contractual reviews
Conducting perimeter sniff inspections of home offices
Ensuring regular walking meetings take place
They are particularly strong in stakeholder engagement, biscuit negotiation, and maintaining high team morale standards.
Although they have yet to complete any formal training, their commitment to workplace wellbeing remains unwavering. Lola specialises in client-facing charm, while Milo focuses more on sofa-based strategic oversight.
In all seriousness, they are very much part of the Western Cape family — reminding us that while construction and surveying demand professionalism and precision, balance matters too!
