Brief

Contracted by leading construction specialists The Sivil Group, we were tasked with undertaking 40 full scale refurbishment surveys at gyms across London, prior to them undertaking essential refurbishments to each location.  All of the premises varied significantly in terms of age, size, and survey accessibility.  We had one month in which to complete – and report on – all 40 surveys. Failure was not an option.

Key to the requirement was avoiding any interruption to the business, which meant keeping all of the gyms live and trading while the surveys were completed. Balancing this with the need for Sivil’s to keep to their critical design and build timeframes, we got straight to work on the logistics.

Approach

Demonstrating the proactivity, responsiveness and can-do attitude that our team are known for, we devised a plan that ensured no gym staff or customers were disrupted – so the whole project had to be an out of hours experience.

We liaised with each of the gyms direct, and took responsibility for setting up a schedule where we worked around everyone else. How we made this happen was left to us – but typically it meant starting each survey late at night, working through the night until complete – including weekends when required.

Result

We returned all the surveys to the clients within 3-5 working days, surpassing their expectations and enabling the continuation and confirmation of their refurbishment plans.

What the client says

“We have used Inspectas exclusively on all our projects nationally for the past 2-3 years.  We have always found them prompt with inspection dates, reporting, and any required re-inspections, and would not hesitate in recommending them.”
