Be available to help you from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday to Thursday / 9:00 am to 5:00 pm Friday and provide an answering machine service outside normal working hours for all messages and site inspection requests. All messages left will receive early attention on the next working day.

Accept Building Notices (or give notice of the reasons why we are unable to do so) within 5 working days of receiving the Notice.
Ensure that site inspections requested before 10.30 a.m. on any working day are carried out on the same day.
