Mathew Butcher, Principal Surveyor of Raglan Housing Association said, "The open book partnering approach means we have a shared objective of delivering the appropriate solution to a diverse range of residents, whilst maintaining best value".
"Without any need to compromise quality, the open nature of the pre-installation survey has encouraged Stanley to identify areas where we can save against the original budget".
"Subject to resident consultation we maintain the ultimate decision on whether individual schemes should go ahead".
