How we work

Learn about how we solve problems

This stage is all about gathering high level information to enable us to make early recommendations. We will conduct a site visit, collect and review relevant construction documentation then prepare an early-stage report with a recommendation as to the next, best steps to take.

During this stage we engage professionals service providers such as engineers, architects, and other consultant to provide a designed solution to the issue. The solution is then documented to enable builders and contractors to quote the work. We run a competitive tender process to ensure we get the right team repairing the problem. We can even help you with finance if needed.

We oversee the construction phase making sure the works are completed as specified. Often during construction, we also find unexpected surprises. Here we manage these issues to minimise delays and disruption to occupants.

Depending on the project this may just be a quality management process to confirm the project is complete and all defects are resolved. Where the issue is covered by a building order we will make sure that order is lifted.
