Project compliance service: what you need to know
At MBA we offer a wide range of consultancy services and Project Compliance is just another one that completes our portfolio.
Our clients trust us to deliver what they need when they need it. And that’s why one of our priorities is to support them through the whole process and in different stages of the project.
Through this service, we aim to ensure that the Installation works are carried out in line with the project requirements together with meeting British Standards, best practice guidelines & specification compliance.
But how do we achieve this?
We have a team of dedicated building services specialists that perform regular site visits to inspect, review and report on the standard & quality of works.
They establish strong and positive relationships with the construction teams early on enabling us to tactfully discuss quality issues or non-compliances with the project teams without conflict; this ensures that costly defects are identified & addressed prior to handover.
MBA’s approach is to fully involve all parties to ensure quality delivery, for our clients and operators; we achieve full specification compliance and minimise defects at completion.
Here we present more details about our Project Compliance service along with our team to give you a better understanding of our capability.
