Naismiths would like to re-assure Clients that they have proactively implemented a business continuity plan in light of the COVID-19 outbreak in order to limit the spread of the virus.
All Surveyors have laptops, smart phones and secure access to our cloud-based data platform (SharePoint) and therefore remote/home working is something our team have actively participated in prior to the outbreak.
All internal meetings have been cancelled for the foreseeable future and all members of staff have been requested to attend formal meetings via either Skype, Facetime, WhatsApp or Microsoft Teams whereby data can be shared, reviewed and agreed.
We acknowledge that whilst construction sites remain open Developers/Contractors require their funding lines to be operational and therefore Surveyors have been requested to limit exposure to other people whilst on site taking the usual precautionary measures in line with Government guidelines.
We have implemented a Customer direct enquiry to ascertain how the COVID-19 Virus is affecting them and the UK Construction Industry, the results we hope to share with you all soon.
Naismiths will continue to monitor the situation over the coming days, weeks and months.
