OUR SERVICES

The size and geographic spread of our Team of Operatives allows us to be extremely reactive. Same day requests can be facilitated and through our PDA device there is a seamless transfer of job data to the Operatives. Larger jobs can usually be attended to within 48 hours.

Cura offer a ‘locate and rectify’ one stop shop service meaning that we can investigate and report on issues, detailing the root cause and put together a comprehensive and cost affective resolution report with a quotation to resolve the issues with our ‘in house’ labour. Thermal imaging cameras, endoscopes and leak detection equipment are available to our experienced surveyors.

Planned projects can be booked in with our Team of coordinators to suit your timescales. A ‘hand picked’ Team of Operatives will be selected to meet the demands of the situation and trade skill sets required. Our lead time is usually around 5 working days.

Large value ‘retentions’ are often held for long periods of time whilst original contractors are chased endlessly to attend to snagging items. This is not cost affective, interest and management/admin time alone can be costly. Many of our clients will pass a full package of EOYD to us for us to log onto our system, call homeowners within 24 hours and complete works within 7 days where possible. ‘Snap Shot’ Updates are sent to you within 24 hours of completion to confirm works complete and Homeowners satisfied.

Our clients usually have their own direct labour. These Teams of anything from 2 to 20 Ops will be booked up solidly for weeks so sickness and holiday can be an issue, letting down homeowners who have waited patiently for an appointment. Cura can supply any number of trusted GOLD standard Operatives to cover these sick days, booked holidays or indeed as an addition to the existing Team to help reduce lead times generally. We will hand pick the very best Operatives suited to fit in with your Team, address your needs and they are able to adopt your uniform and ID Badges for the period. Giving you a truly flexible and genuine extension to your Team.

Trouble with contractors returning to fix their own defects? High admin costs in chasing contractors for updates? Send the ‘7 Day notification letter’ to the contractor and copy in Cura – Then leave it to us! We will call the Homeowner on Day 8 and if the contractor has been in touch we will close the job down and advise you accordingly FOC. However if the contractor has not been in touch we will offer a booking date there and then and advise you of this date. Once complete a Snap Shot update will be sent to you confirming completion and sign off. The invoice will follow 7 days later with a ‘contra charge’ pack including a detailed breakdown of cost and the 7 Day Letter. The Homeowner never waits more than 8 days for a booking date, you save admin time and stress chasing contractors and you recover 100% of our costs from the contractor!

We can offer CSCS carded Operatives to site to help improve standards before handover or simply to finish plots off during peak seasons. We also offer GOLD standard Ops to assist with post handover works. This service has helped many of our clients achieve 5 star ratings by ensuring the Homeowner receives a  ‘same day’ reactive service to any of those new home teething issues. A Handyman service can be supplied also to help put up pictures and curtains on or just after ‘moving in’ day to again help put the cherry on the top of the Customer Care service experience.

Cura can take on larger projects. Project Managed by SSTS qualified staff. Whether working from technical drawings or NHBC resolution reports we can complete projects in a timely manner with ‘in house’ Operatives from roof to footings. We have taken on projects and completed to a high standard such as complete ‘de construction’ of the internal building fabric including removal of all internal walls, ceilings, stairs etc to rectify out of level joists and out of square dry-ling affectively rebuilding the internal of the property from slab to roof – Testimonials available on request.

Through our sister company AFML we can take on all Gas Safe & NICEIC works.

We can manage your shared spaces, communal areas both internally and externally. From landscaping to roofing we can manage and look after communal areas with Cura liveried Operatives allowing for peace of mind to residents already used to seeing the Cura brand on site and in their homes.

At times situations can become untenable between builder and homeowner and it can be best that a ‘third party’ deals with the project fully taking some of the emotion out of the situation and allowing the homeowner to achieve the results they want without the friction that can sometimes develop in sensitive situations. Cura have a long history of dealing with escalated complaints and working closely with the homeowner to deliver the home they want whilst keeping the house builder regularly updated. Working from area to area and closing down sections systematically achieving Homeowner satisfaction feedback and sign off as well as step by step photos along the way Cura will sensitively close out the most escalated cases gathering information along the way to assist with cost recovery.
