Not sure where it fits?Start with the difficulty, not the solution.
Tell us what is limiting safety, access or independence. We can review the environment with the OT and identify the right pathway.
Request guidance →How a project starts
A clear scope before work begins.
We confirm what is required, what is included and what happens next before scheduling the project.
Minor or major?
The difference is the type and complexity of the change.
Minor works are targeted changes. Major works involve layout, structure or several coordinated trades. Final inclusions follow the OT recommendation, site conditions and agreed quotation.
