URBANZ Construction Management will guide and assist you through the whole process from consultation, project management, support and technical advice.
With failed repairs, missed repairs or understated repairs Canterbury is still mopping up the damage from the 2010-2011 earthquakes that caused so much damage not only to people’s homes but their livelihoods.
The trust chain has been broken and it will take a long time before effected homeowners heal. We have a small team of very experienced builders that understand repair strategies and methodologies. Sometimes builders will price the project and ignore the bigger picture to get the job. Once the project starts, the variations come in thick and fast. If these additional costs were captured before construction starts it could of lead to a better result for the client and EQC. In some cases the client ends up with a rebuild and EQC hasn’t spent more than what a new build would of cost as an example. It is a common issue. A review of your repair strategy is always recommended especially if your damaged home is being scoped by a builder. We can also manage the repair of your home with the utmost dedication. Our repair strategy consultation advice is 100% trustworthy from years of experience in the industry. Clients that find themselves in unique positions where they do not know who to turn to need independent advice.
The EQC onsold program is unique. The homeowner is in the driving seat but this also means the homeowner has to make sure everything is captured in the scope. There is no going back once repairs have been completed. A huge responsibility for anyone to take on.
Communication is paramount when it comes to managing projects. All lines of communication need to be open. We pride ourselves on being excellent communicators relaying project information to all parties where applicable. Our considerate approach to our clients is why people want to use us. We turn the ‘ construction jargon ‘ into easy to understand which in turn lets you make some clear decisions without the stress overload.
It is our job to help you make the right decisions. If you ever find yourself ‘ stuck ‘ on what to do next, URBANZ will guide you. We help people move ahead and more importantly move on with their lives.
