What You Can Expect From Hanson

A Clear Expression of Interest

Hanson's estimating staff will tell you promptly whether we can assist you with your project or not. Usually the answer will be positive but if we are unable to assist for any reason we will let you know early.

Help with Feasibility

If your project is not yet designed, is designed with insitu methods and you would like to change, or is designed but you want to check buildability or other features then you can expect Hanson to provide you with the input that you need. We see our role as providing solutions to your construction problems - solutions which Hanson, with its vast product capability, is uniquely placed to provide. We don't want you to use precast everywhere, only where it is the best way of building, so expect frank advice on whether there is a good precast solution or not.

A Clear Offer

When it comes time to price the precast component of your project you can expect Hanson to give you a clear and complete offer which spells out inclusions and exclusions and the commercial terms of the offer.

Thoughtful Design and Shop Drawings

There are two approaches to design and shop drawings. At Hanson we believe that our experience should be put to use in the interest of all parties and so you can expect us not to follow slavishly what the consultants have done but rather to propose alternatives where possible to improve buildability, durability and aesthetics. Our customers have the last say, but working with Hanson you will be offered choices.

Design Responsibility

The structural capabilities of all precast components offered by Hanson should be verified by the project consulting engineers. Hanson does not, therefore, offer to provide structural certification.

Quality-Assured Manufacture

One great strength which Hanson has is its experienced manufacturing staff. In an environment where employee turnover is minimal, many key employees have between 20 and 30 years experience. We have seen and solved just about every possible problem and this, combined with our modern quality assurance programme, ensures the best outcomes.

Installation by Experienced Crews

Where Hanson is installing its products we use experienced subcontractors who ensure that the job gets done properly and quickly.
Where we are only supplying we ensure that our interface with your erector is as seamless as possible.
