We worked very closely with both the architect and the main contractor from conception through to completion. Working from the Landscape Architects concept brief our design team brought about workable solutions, developing the designs through CAD modelling and the manufacture of control samples to give a clear picture of the finished product.
Our Project Manager liaised closely with the Main Contractor ensuring that all aspects of the contract from Risk Assessments to Method Statements were prepared for their approvals and that the design, manufacture and installation were delivered within budget and on schedule.
Our multi disciplined teams managed all aspects of the installation from the coring of the steps to the fitting of the stainless and glass balustrade, ensuring that each phase met the client’s expectations.
