Independent Technical Assurance
Trust But Verify
You hire experienced contractors and specify the right systems. You trust the process. But the gap between a design on paper and a system in the wall is where damp, mold, and legal liabilities breed.
If your team lacks the internal technical literacy to hold developers and installers accountable, you end up carrying the downstream risk.
We act as your Independent Technical Advocate. Moving beyond high-level strategy, we get into the details to ensure the ventilation systems you pay for actually perform in the real world.
Our Technical Assurance Services:
Design & Spec Audits: We review contracts, specs, and schematics to catch fatal flaws before construction begins.
Site Spot-Checks: We get boots on the ground to inspect physical installations, catching poor workmanship before the walls are closed.
Contractor Accountability: If an installation is sub-par, we use our industry weight to challenge contractors and demand remediation on your behalf.
Handover Verification: We audit the final commissioning data to prove the system actually moves the air it is supposed to.
Stop absorbing the retrofit costs of poor ventilation. Trust the design. Verify the delivery.

If your organisation is involved in housing, retrofit, managing assets, repair and maintenance, this could be for you.
I have worked with Simon for nearly ten years on retrofit, condensation and mould, ventilation, monitoring and training projects.
His knowledge of internal air quality issues is second to none. He also understands the building industry and what good policy looks like at national and corporate levels.
A great communicator and experienced trainer - he has helped me train many Retrofit Coordinators about the risks associated with internal air quality and the importance of good ventilation.
