Local points to consider
Coordination
Ceiling, lighting, sprinkler and electrical layouts are coordinated early.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
Future use
Allow for growth in occupancy or IT load.
Working hours
Most Exmouth businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
