3. Site Setup & Lifting Logistics
Lift Planning & Risk Assessment: Producing detailed lift plans, method statements, and RAMS documentation.
Temporary Works: Design and installation of temporary lifting frames, supports, or staging areas.

4. Assembly & Structural Integration
Module Connection Support: Assistance with aligning and securing modules together (mechanical, electrical, plumbing).
Structural Stitching: Lifting and holding sections while they are joined structurally.
Final Fit-Out Lifting: Installing staircases, façade elements, rooftop units, etc.

5. Heavy Lifting Equipment Hire
Hydraulic Gantries: For precise vertical lifting in confined areas.
