Quality Management

To achieve value for money from a project, it is essential to carry out rigorous and detailed inspection of materials and workmanship throughout the build.

The Silver Difference

Our highly professional Quality Management Team conduct regular site visits and clear and concise reports to ensure that a client’s asset is delivered in compliance with the brief and specification, and in line with the relevant regulations. Their combined expertise covers new build construction, refurbishment, the conversion and repair of existing properties, renewable technologies and various offsite manufacturing products.

Prior to joining Silver, each of our site inspectors has spent 30 to 40 years in construction trades that range from plumbing and carpentry to site management. This hands-on experience has given them an exceptional eye for detail, backed up by solid technical know-how.Their combined technical knowledge and collaborative working approach assures a high standard of workmanship that adds value to any development. As members of The Institute of Clerks of Works and Construction Inspectorate of Great Britain Inc. (ICWCI), they also attend monthly ICWCI Chapter meetings, and regular CPD events including Building Regulation seminars and workshops. This ensures they remain aware of changes in legislation and best practice.

The team’s technical knowledge and collaborative working approach assures a high standard of workmanship that adds value to any development. In order to familiarise themselves thoroughly with a project, they will become involved at the earliest possible pre-construction stage, then drive quality through to the end of the Defects Rectification Period.
