Supplier documents

Insurance certificates, key policies and procurement-ready supplier information are available in our Resources area or on request.

We work as direct consultants, specialist subconsultants, technical leads to principal contractors, or engineering advisers to framework holders.

Our approach is simple:
• define the real engineering question
• investigate in a controlled way
• capture evidence properly
• issue buildable outputs with clear QA hold points
• support safe delivery and close-out on site

Whether the requirement is an intrusive survey, strengthening scheme, PT slab penetration strategy, façade risk review or marine repair scope, we aim to reduce risk quickly and leave the client with clear decisions, clear records and a deliverable plan.
