Serving homes, rentals and commercial premises in Virginia and Florida
How we work
Clear process is what makes a property services firm accountable. Here is ours: the stages every job moves through, the arrangements you can choose between, how we keep you informed and the documents you keep at the end.
The process
Small repairs move through these quickly — sometimes in a single visit. Larger projects take longer at each stage. The order never changes.
Starting from your enquiry, we go through the property, what is prompting the work, any fixed dates and how you prefer to be kept informed.
A short summary of what we discussed and the proposed next step.
We see the property, record its condition with photographs and confirm what is in scope and what is not.
Condition notes with photographs; a prioritized list where it helps.
We set out what will be done, the sequence, access and occupant arrangements, the update schedule and the estimate.
A scope of work and schedule to approve, change or decline.
Work proceeds in sequence with the property protected. Any change is written down, with its effect on cost and timing, before it goes ahead.
Updates on the agreed schedule; a change record for anything that moves.
We check the finished work against the scope, list anything outstanding and close every punch-list item.
A closed punch list, confirmed with you.
Photographs, products and finishes, care notes and anything to watch, filed against the property for next time.
A completion report; an updated property record.
Arrangements
Choose the arrangement that fits how you own and manage the property. Many owners combine them over time.
| Defined jobOne-off project | Ongoing schedulePlanned maintenance program | Standing route for repairsOn-call arrangement | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best suited to | A defined piece of work: a renovation, a turnover, pre-sale preparation or a set of repairs. | Properties that benefit from routine care: rental buildings, common areas, commercial premises, homes with a lot of exterior. | Owners and managers who need a standing route for repairs across one or more properties. |
| How it is scoped | One scope of work and estimate for the whole job. | An annual schedule of tasks by season, agreed with you. Larger items are scoped separately. | Terms agreed up front: how requests are raised, what we can approve without you and how work is priced. |
| How it is scheduled | Start date and sequence set out in the scope. | Visits booked in advance and confirmed before each one. | Each request confirmed, with the earliest visit we can offer. |
| How you hear from us | Updates on a schedule agreed at the start, plus written notice of any change. | A visit record after every visit. | A completion note for every request, referenced to your system if you use one. |
| What you receive | Scope, change record, punch list and completion report. | Schedule, visit records, items-to-plan-for list and an annual summary. | Request log, completion notes with photographs and a running property record. |
Communication
Most frustration with contractors comes from not knowing what is happening. We agree the rules at the start and write them into the scope.
Documentation
Written to be read by you, an owner, an agent or the next contractor — without needing us to explain them.
From the walkthrough or site visit: the property’s condition, element by element, with photographs.
What will be done and what will not, the sequence, access arrangements, update schedule and estimate.
Each change to scope, cost or timing, with your written approval.
What is done, what is next and anything that needs a decision — on the agreed schedule.
Photographs, products and finishes, the closed punch list, care notes and anything to watch.
Every job filed against the property, so its history is never lost between contractors or owners.
On site
These are commitments about how we work, not claims about outcomes. They form part of every scope.
Floors, finishes, furniture and planting are protected before work begins and stay protected until it ends.
Conditions are recorded before anything is touched, so there is never a question about what was there.
If we find something, we stop, photograph it and ask. Work continues only once you approve.
Every key, code and access device is logged out and back in, and access arrangements are kept to.
Agreed working hours, agreed notice and clear routes kept open for the people living or working there.
The site is cleared at the end of each working day, not just at the end of the job.
