1 · Walk the site
We look at the building before we price it, at a time that suits whoever occupies it. Most surprises on a refurbishment are visible on the first walk if someone bothers to go.
DEMO SITE
We work in buildings that cannot close.
Ridgebrace Construction is a fictional business used to demonstrate the platform. Commercial fit-out, refurbishment and small works. Phased around your trading hours, your tenants and your staff.
Fit-out
Offices, clinics and retail units taken from shell or strip-out through to handover, working around whoever is still using the building.Refurbishment
Phased upgrades to occupied premises (washrooms, roofs, frontages and services) sequenced so the doors stay open.Small works
The jobs most contractors will not price. Reactive repairs, alterations and make-good, on a standing rate.Judged on disruption, not just delivery
Figures are illustrative. This is a demonstration site.
