Do you know what temporary works you have on your site?

There will be examples of temporary works at all stages of construction including pre-construction, construction, refurbishment and during maintenance. When designing a structure, it is also important to look at the buildability and this will include the temporary works.

For example, failure to adequately design, construct and maintain temporary works can lead to; collapse or failure of the temporary works or permanent works and this may also lead to the collapse of adjacent structures (buildings, transport systems, infrastructure). There is also a real risk of fatalities and serious injuries to workers and members of the public. 

The indirect costs of these incidents are significant delays, increased costs to projects meaning there will be significant financial and commercial risks for contractors, sub-contractors, designers, suppliers, and clients.

Our Temporary Works Advisor and Temporary Works Auditing services enable the management of temporary works you have on site to be accessible, affordable and achievable.

Our Temporary Works Advisor service is ideally suited to small and medium sized construction projects, where there is not necessarily the need for a full time Temporary Works Coordinator. It is set up on a flexible, rolling monthly contract for a low and affordable cost. This significantly reduced the financial burden of having to employ a full time Temporary Works Coordinator.

Our Temporary Works Auditing service works with larger contractors and projects, providing support and guidance to Temporary Works coordinators and directors requiring audits on their projects to check compliance against their company Temporary Works Procedure.
