- Proven track record of successful ‘New Build’ building warranty claims.
Introduction
We find this warm welcome and introduction begins to breed a closer community.
Inspection
Initiative sends an experienced building maintenance consultant to site on a quarterly basis to weed out any signs of complacency. This monitoring service is included free of charge within our standard management contract.
Insurances
Initiative currently manages over 100 buildings and therefore insuring as a collection could offer cost benefits coupled with comprehensive cover to meet the needs of the development.
In addition to introducing you to Arthur J Gallagher Insurance Brokers Limited and its range of products, we provide support throughout any claims process.
Health & Safety
Blocks of flats are considered to be places of work in respect of the Health & Safety Executive. Initiative tracks this certification schedule closely, ensuring all legislative standards are met.
Compliance to HSE standards means the conveyancing sales process when apartments are sold to a new purchaser does not suffer delays.
Efficiency
We operate an online tracking system with weekly progress reviews to eliminate gaps and guarantee progress on all issues.
Senior management keeps a close eye on issues throughout the year, ensuring our managers are well supported, whilst being constantly exposed to new challenges.
Community
We find this warm welcome and introduction begins to breed a closer community.
Financial Transparency
We tailor building expenditure approval processes and expenditure reporting to the requirements of the directors or freeholder.
We realise that certain sites (usually those who have been “hurt” in the past by less conscientious agents) require more stringent spend approval systems at first before they are able to trust an agent again.
