08FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can you advise on works you do not execute yourselves?
- Yes. Advisory and supervision scopes are contracted separately from execution.
- Can you act as owner's representative during a tender?
- Yes. We can write the specification, review submitted method statements and attend clarification meetings on the owner's behalf.
- What do you need to start an assessment?
- Drawings or as-built data where available, maintenance and incident history, previous inspection reports and the decision the owner needs to take.
- Do you give a repair recommendation or only findings?
- Both. Findings are reported factually, followed by options with their cost, downtime and asset-life consequences so the owner can decide.
- Is the advice independent if the group can also carry out the works?
- Advisory scopes are reported on their technical merits, and the report states clearly where execution by a group company is one of the options.
