What to Look Out For and What You Need to Know
We’ve dealt with compliance requirements across many different continents as well as New Zealand. Our collective experience and these broader insights means you can have confidence that we will make sure your property or estate is compliant and safe for those people to occupy, visit and trade from. Our experience working with the various authorities that you may encounter means there are very few situations we have not already faced and successfully resolved. We believe that, at the very least, a building must be wind and weather tight and safe to occupy or visit.
Our experience is that all buildings are individual. Even if they are constructed the same, their functionality, use and performance requirements will differ. The knowledge built, as a professional, through some extremely complex situations sets us in great stead for the next challenge faced, but what if it’s the first time you have faced it though?
We have worked on compliance issues relating to complex multistorey buildings, hospitals, schools, universities, hotels, leisure complexes, religious places of worship often where those with limited experience struggle to deal with the relevant authority. We excel in situations where the ‘textbook’ answers do not fit.
