Advisory

SCI is able to respond in a timely way to the most challenging of technical problems and to offer practical construction advice.

One of SCI’s most important benefits is the advisory service, which provides dedicated technical support to its members.

SCI Advisory benefits?

·        Fast, independent and authoritative advice on technical matters on all aspects of steel in construction that could lead to technical conflicts.

·        Questions are dealt with in total confidentiality by one of SCI’s experts who include engineers, architects and building physicists, many of whom have international authority in their field.

In many cases, a resolved question leads to immediate and significant business benefit for our members through the avoidance of risk, the prevention of a potential dispute, or perhaps by averting the spectre of subsequent remedial work.

·        Explaining code clauses and technical issues, providing guidance on best practice and giving reassurance about correct approaches to common issues are all typical of the services provided the advisory desk. However, calls often do lead to more in depth investigation and analysis on behalf of our members, and the SCI is pleased to offer specialist advisory support in this way.
