Site Surveys Dulux Trade Specifier Account Managers can carry out a full site inspection. This will include assessment of the current condition of surface coatings, help with identification of difficult substrates and advice on extending maintenance cycles. Specification Writing Dulux Trade can offer full specification support tailored to your individual requirements. This will ensure that correct preparation is highlighted and the products specified are the most appropriate for the location, environment and substrate type. Contract Meetings Dulux Trade Specifier Account Managers can attend pre-contract, tenant liaison, project review and post-contract assessment meetings, ensuring collaboration and clear communication from concept to completion. Site Visits During the course of the work, if required, site visits can be made to ensure that work is being carried out correctly and in accordance with the specification. Reporting to Project Owners A critical element of any project is minimising down time. Knowing the status of the work in progress and thus keeping control of events is equally important.
