How a job is run from tender to handover

We return a price by the deadline your tender sets. To price a scheme we need the drawings, specification, inclusions list, scope and programme. Our quote is our quote.

On site, a named contracts manager runs the job and visits it often. Before a plot is offered for handover, the work is photographed on a cloud-based quality system, signed off by the contracts manager and reviewed by our construction administrator.

Photo records sit in Site Audit Pro and are shared with you on request. After handover, a customer care administrator answers requests within 24 hours and deals with defects inside your customer care charter timelines.
