Coordinating arborist information with the project team
Tree work on a building project can begin before construction, with an arborist report, a review of retained trees or CAD diagrams for the project brief. Send the available plans and any authority request so the information needed can be established.
Hilly's can coordinate agreed reports and tree work through one contact. The quote identifies the responsibilities for reporting, approved removal, clearing, protection measures and any required inspections or documents. Approval decisions remain with the responsible authority.
We welcome an individual project or a discussion about future work across several sites. Tell us about procurement requirements and the construction program so availability, responsibilities and commercial terms can be considered for the work.
