Technical Services
Technical services are handled by our providers in-house team. They can facilitate building control for you, with one of their partnered approved inspectors. Every inspection is audited by our provider to give you further peace of mind.
Where building control has already been arranged elsewhere, technical audits are undertaken by approved inspectors to ensure the project reaches the standard required for the issue of the warranty. Both insurers and our providers understand the value of this service and this is reflected in the premiums that are charged. The sooner that we are involved, the greater the benefit that can be realised.
