Welcome to MRO insights, our weekly articles focusing on your needs and concerns!

Our dedicated hub for expert advice, industry trends, and practical construction, planning and design guides. Rooted in the experience and understanding of customer needs, each article aims to empower property owners, businesses, prospective buyers, and enthusiasts with valuable knowledge. As the page grows, our readers can expect rich insights, case studies, and actionable tips, making MRO Insights a property construction and maintenance resource. We will be posting articles from our partners, within their field of expertise or topics of interest in the industry.

Our first Insight, Top 5 construction project fears, is now live and ready to read. We explore the top 5 fears that clients have about construction projects and offer advice on how to mitigate these risks, ultimately helping you choose a trusted contractor who can bring your vision to life.

“The aim of MRO Insights is to quash fears, to make people feel more at ease with the process and the journey that they are about to undertake. What the process is? Where do we start? What are the pinch-points? Contentious points of discussion? ”

“Sean Lucas, a Quantity Surveyor partner of ours, wrote a dissertation on why building projects always take too long, why they always go over budget and why invariable they end up being contentious. The reason is because from the outset there wasn’t a comprehensible scope of works, there wasn’t comprehensive drawings, there wasn’t detailed, accurate information for the builder to price from.”

“If you go into any project without that concrete information, at the beginning, you are already on the back foot, you are already five steps behind, you have already pushed your project back two months, you have already blown your budget, you have already created issues that didn’t need to be there.”

“This is why we are creating a secure hub for our clients that they can rely upon. We hope this resource helps make the building experience a little easier and, most importantly, rewarding.”

“To the rest of the MRO team and our partners, I’m looking forward to working with you all to create great content that adds value to our industry.”
