Client Success Stories
Our commitment to excellence is reflected in the success stories of our clients. For instance, one client had to handover 20 penthouse units in 1 week and their usual air testing company couldn’t get there for 4 weeks after failing the units. We managed to attend site the following day and worked closely with the client and their sealing teams to find the air leakage paths using thermal and smoke testing. Once the units had been sealed, we managed to retest the units and achieve an air test pass for them during the following day, which prevented delays to their project handover dates.
