FAQs

Do you supply materials?

Common consumables are usually on hand. Anything unusual can be purchased at cost with pre-approval.

Do you work with other vendors?

Happily. I can be your on-site hands while you manage remotely, or coordinate with third-party installers.

What is RAMS and when is it needed?

RAMS stands for Risk Assessment & Method Statement. Some sites (especially data centres and large offices) require a short document that lists hazards, the controls in place, and the exact steps of the job. If your site needs RAMS, send me their template or requirements and I'll complete it before the visit.
