Client Testimonials

SWC have addressed a major waterproofing system failure at our home apartment building in Tenerife. The report was professional and detailed, followed up by a management proposal to assess proposals and then engage a quality contractor to do the work. The SWC team attended owners’ meetings to explain the issues and process. Having found a knowledgeable team to analyze the problem and present a cogent solution the real hurdle becomes convincing fiscally terrified owners to maintain the integrity of the communal structure. I suspect this head-in-the-sand mentality is a common battle SWC have to overcome. The SWC product and service has been excellent to date, more to come, I am sure.

Our Body Corporate engaged SW Consult in 2022 to review and advise us on our unit block’s waterproofing and a review of the building structural elements generally. Following this review we engaged SW Consult to manage a tendering and contracting process that led to the partial removal and replacement of the rooftop membrane, a rebuild of a section of the roof above the central stairwell, the removal and replacement of a balcony balustrade, and other minor building improvements including window repairs.
We found SW Consult to be knowledgeable, professional and reliable. Their work was to a high standard and the completed work remains solid now 3 years later.
