Clients of FX Glass can receive guidance from our design teams in the following areas.
Project Delivery
Every individual project will have nominated FX team members designated to deliver the specified products to the highest standards.
The team will include;
- Project Manager
- Operations Manager
- Design Manager
- Commercial Manager
Health and Safety is paramount to us and we always prepare individual task specific Risk and Method Statements in advance of commencing on site.
Our delivery vehicles are suitably equipped with craneage or fork lifts along with FORS safety devices to the necessary standard.
All of our operatives are fully trained in relation to the specific products that they are installing as well as for mandatory site standards such as CSCS and SSSMTS.
Throughout our installation process, we will progressively snag and de-snag our work. At completion, we will offer handover sheets for client inspection and sign off.
Above all, we take pride in our products and the way that will contribute to creating a fantastic environment into which they have been installed.
