Overview
Retrofit coordination is the critical link between assessment and installation. A qualified Retrofit Coordinator ensures that the recommended improvement measures are designed correctly, installed safely, and delivered to the standards required by PAS 2035.
At Synavo, our coordinators manage the entire process — from creating a detailed improvement design through to overseeing installation quality and confirming that works meet the intended performance targets. We act as the single point of accountability for your retrofit project.
Our Process
1. Medium-Term Improvement Plan
Working from the retrofit assessment, we develop a Medium-Term Improvement Plan that sequences measures over an appropriate timeframe, balancing cost, disruption, and technical dependencies.
2. Detailed Design & Specification
Each improvement measure receives a detailed design specification that defines materials, installation methods, and performance targets. These specifications are provided to installers to ensure consistent quality.
3. Installer Liaison & Briefing
We liaise with approved installers, providing comprehensive briefings on the design intent, quality expectations, and any site-specific considerations. We ensure that all parties understand their responsibilities before work begins.
4. On-Site Quality Monitoring
During installation, our coordinators conduct site visits to verify that works are proceeding in accordance with the design specification. Any deviations are identified and resolved promptly.
5. Completion & Handover
Following installation, we carry out a final inspection to confirm that all measures meet the required standards. You receive a completion certificate and a clear summary of the works carried out, along with maintenance guidance.
