Conflict Resolution: Swiftly and professionally resolve any on-site resident queries or property protection concerns right at the doorstep to maintain high customer satisfaction scores. Progress Tracking: Utilise project trackers to log pre-start surveys, resident sign-offs, and daily communication history to ensure compliance with strict funding requirements.
