FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Who covers builder’s risk and ten-year liability insurance?

Works are always performed under the insurers and ten-year liabilities of the selected contractors; Thomas Heagle verifies all certificates and validity dates.

How do you ensure timelines are met?

Thomas Heagle oversees a limited number of sites in parallel and selects projects personally. A millimetric reverse-planning, a trusted circle of artisans, and weekly site visits ensure fluid cadence. Any unforeseen event triggers an alert to neutralise drift before it affects the schedule.

Can the studio manage a site in July–August?

Yes. Summer—less dense for occupants—often facilitates structural works and mitigates the impact of noisier phases. Teams remain mobilised and planning is optimised for faster delivery.

Can you conduct the works while we are away?

Yes. International clients particularly appreciate this turnkey option. Weekly video reports, HD photo dossiers, and budget dashboards keep you informed. Some preliminary studies for international clients are completed entirely remotely.

How do you organise the site if we remain in residence?

Following an audit of household habits, the site is zoned: temporary partitions, quiet time slots, and separate circulation routes to preserve privacy and calm. Daily cleaning can be proposed to maintain the “non-works” living areas.

How is site and asset security ensured?

All contractors sign a confidentiality charter and hold strict accreditations. The site can be secured with temporary video surveillance, digital access control, and safe storage for valuable materials.
