Snagging

Developers, Project Managers, Architects and construction companies will all testify to the fact that snagging is the worst part of any property development project. It is also at this very last hurdle that already strained relationships goes bad.

There are numerous contributing factors but the most important is the fact that the Contractor needs to move his top people to a new site where his expertise is required and to get a Sub-contractor back on site to effect work that due to economies of scale are not financially viable.

BICS can provide a project management service to the Developer or the main Contractor to assist with all snagging related issues.
