There are good reasons for chosing a smaller company to manage your repairs:
- While most people in Christchurch now recognise that the multinational companies Fletchers EQR, Hawkins, Arrow International and Mainzeal are Project Management Companies or PMO's, they often do no recognise that these PMOs are not working for the homeowner but for EQC or the respective insurance company. In contrast we work for YOU to ensure that you get your full entitlement.
- Many home and property owners want a more personalised service than the large corporations can provide. They want to be more than a case number or a file.
