Customer Care
After Build provides a unique turn-key solution to address all aspects of customer care for a single fixed-price. Our operation has evolved over 15 years during which the UK new-build sector has experienced exceptionally challenging market conditions. During this time certain aspects have fundamentally altered, making the developer’s responsibilities under any recognised 10-year warranty all the greater. The most influential are:
- New technology
- Quality control
- Contractor management
- Consumer expectation
After Build’s approach is to unburden you from the daily demands of the Builder’s Rectification period but provide visibility of all calls and actions should you want it. Our team is trained to handle every call with care and attention, diagnosing the specifics of every issue to identify where a problem meets the ‘legitimate defect’ criteria and the appropriate course of action necessary to close it out. Where this requires an attended response we manage your original sub-contractors, taking responsibility to organise each appointment, and issuing job instructions for them to return and make good their work.
In some cases we’re asked to provide a wider service for our clients, handling not only build-defects, but any kind of problem an occupant may wish to report. Additionally, this may be available in either our name, the client’s name or the name of the development. Our ability to white label the service is of increasing importance in the creation of a seamless service.
FULL SERVICE is a highly cost efficient way for a developer/HA with NO resource to manage their warranty obligations. After Build take responsibility for all aspects – complete outsourcing, fully systemised, trained/knowledgeable people, fixed and known cost, flexible and scalable.
