Installation
The Argenta ethos is from concept to completion
Not only do we diligently check the design information provided with a care and attention to detail, at Argenta we prides ourselves on our ‘hands-on’ approach with each and every project. We believe that the delivery and installation phase of the project deserves the same care and attention as the creation of our comprehensive budgets and tender programme.
At the final push of the project we, personally, are on site alongside the contractor; overseeing all of our deliveries and thus ensuring all goods are received, installed and snagged in line with project requirements.
Our comprehensive on-site management has taken Argenta all over the globe, from Aberdeen to Singapore, and it is this dedication to the project and installation that really sets us apart in terms of services and knowledge. With this end experience we are able to start off on the right costing route, adequately factoring for all costs in the beginning stages.
