Coordination
Ceiling, lighting, sprinkler and electrical layouts are coordinated early.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Ashton in Makerfield often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
