Supplier Selection Advice

You have a detailed business recovery plan and you know what needs to be cleaned and restored. Now, the questions you are asking yourselves are:

  • Who can you get to do it?
  • How will you know you have got the right supplier who will understand your particular needs?

With over 20 years of experience, our team at Noeaxe has the right expertise to deal with the aftermaths of foods, fires and other disasters. We know what skills are required to clean up your operations and we can very quickly match your needs with the right suppliers.

We understand the urgent need for speed after a disaster has occurred however, we still believe that it is important for you to choose the right supplier. Our suppliers’ selection process ensures complete transparency. We require all competing companies to quote against the same scope of works. Before quoting, each competing supplier is fully technically briefed on your specific requirements. We also accompany these suppliers on inspection tours in order to fully understand the extent of the disaster and damages. Once quotes are received we use a ‘balanced scorecard’ approach to ensure you get the most appropriate supplier for your situation.

Clerk of Work

You have selected a disaster restoration contractor and they are working hard to clean your property and its contents. They appear to be working at a good pace and doing an effective job but you still wonder.

  • How can you be sure they are actually doing a good job?
  • How do you know if your building and assets have been properly decontaminated?
  • How do you know if the walls and floors have been dried sufficiently?

What you need is an expert you can turn to for informed, independent and impartial advice. What you need is Noeaxe. We provide qualified on-site personnel that are fully conversant with every aspect of disaster restoration, that can act on your behalf and be your representative.

In a clerk of works role our team of experts ensures that the restoration contractor complies with all relevant Health & Safety and Environmental legislation, agrees any necessary work variations and at the end of the job they sign-off the contractor’s invoices thus leaving you free to concentrate on recovering your business activity.
