We have implemented a varied range of both project management and self-help schemes to assist property owners being more proactive in the daily involvement on their restoration project:
- Organising programmes of work for both owners and relevant skilled trades.
- Obtaining specifications and quotations for specialists works.
- Attending on site meetings with owners and local authority personnel.
- Sourcing traditional materials and negotiating purchases.
- Working with owners to demonstrate techniques and skills to achieve successful results.
- Providing assistance, guidance and advice throughout the project.
This fresh approach to working with owners in this way has been very successful for all involved.
