Temporary works are crucial to a project’s success. Understanding site constraints, as well as existing and neighboring structures, is essential to avoid partial or full collapse during construction. The proposed layout and deflection limits must be carefully considered.

During construction, detailed drawings and designs must be strictly followed, managed by the principal contractor to ensure safety and compliance with specifications. The principal contractor should oversee all temporary works on site. The design and site management teams typically collaborate to address any unforeseen issues that arise. Allowances should be made for potential changes discovered after the site strip-out, as hidden problems often emerge once wall and floor finishes are removed.

Our key staff members, assigned to each project, possess extensive experience in temporary works design and will ensure the process is executed efficiently.
