Package management
On a busy project, managing several finishing trades means several programmes, sets of paperwork and snag lists. We can take on the finishing package as one contractor and manage it from the first survey to handover.

How we work on site
Survey and quantities
We visit the site or work from your drawings and schedule of finishes, and measure what's involved.

A written quote with the scope, the finishes and how the work fits your programme.
Samples and approvals
Colours, sheens and finishes are sampled and approved before work starts.
Work in sequence
Our teams work to the programme, protecting finished areas and coordinating with other trades.
Snagging and sign-off
We work through the snag list and record each area as it's signed off, ready for handover.
Projects we work on

Apartment blocks, communal areas and show homes, finished plot by plot.
Hotels and hospitality
Bedrooms, corridors, bars and receptions, often phased around an operating building.
Commercial offices
Fit-outs and refurbishments, including out-of-hours work where agreed.
Refurbishment and heritage
Period buildings where original joinery and finishes need careful work.
