Frequently Asked Questions About Method Statements

The main reason for a method statement is to set out a step-by-step plan for every scenario. This not only gives you peace of mind that your project will run smoothly, but it can also help you to lower costs by preparing for the worst-case scenario.

We will need to know what tasks will need to be completed, what work is being done, if there are any hazards and what control measures will need to be in place. All of this will be asked from you when you speak to our consultants.

It can help to give your clients peace of mind while also showing builders and contractors what steps they will need to take in order to achieve results.

Although method statements will follow the same guidelines, they will be tailored to your specific project. This means that if there are any special requirements, or additional hazards, these can be factored into your method statement. Please feel free to contact the team about designing your method statement.
