We first complete the pre-review based on your company's area, current situation, target date and building constraints, and then decide whether to proceed with on-site inspection or document review.

We use the overall schedule, confirmation nodes, weekly reports, change records and handover catalogs to allow your company to continuously understand the status of the project.
