Site Quality Inspection (Clerks of Works) & ECC NEC Supervisor Services

Inspiring confidence when quality on projects and risk reduction is demanded:

The construction process is becoming increasingly complex. Design modification, reworks, delays, claims, defects etc are compromising time, cost and quality deliverables.

We undertake systematic and vigilant inspection of construction works in progress and with particular regard to the elements of workmanship, materials and compliance to standards.  Our aim is to pro-actively assist the client, contractor and design team to realise a 'Zero Defects' project.

The benefits include:

• the highest possible standard in quality is achieved;
• enhances 'Right First Time' initiatives;
• reduces operational risks (compliance, delays, quality);
• reduces costs (reworks, delays, litigation, insurance, etc);
• prolongs the lifecycle and durability of the building and;
• improves the marketability of the building by demonstrating that independent third party site quality control inspection has been adopted.
