Compiling a certificate and making sure that all the claims are correctly calculated and accepted by the engineers can make or break the success of a job and the profits ultimately reaped.

We assist in the compilation of the correct safety files, required for a job. In addition, we also consult on adhering to safety standards, organising safety meetings and training to employees on site.

We complete and submit tenders on behalf of contractors. We understand that this is a vital phase for winning a contract / job and strive to be as professional and competitive as possible without undermining standards. We will also only submit one tender per job as part of our  competitive integrity.
