Frank Fox Associates Ltd., established 1984, sets it's primary goal to provide the highest professional engineering standards and service. This, we believe, can only be achieved through technical knowledge and experience, development and training of staff and a total understanding of the construction industry in which we practice.

Frank Fox & Associates, in 30 years of practice, has established an impressive track record and reputation in Waterford and the South East Region. We are very proud to have been involved in the development of major construction projects in the area and to retain the support of our clients. The experience of dealing with local conditions, gives us the ability to be more effective in providing a responsive service to our clients, local authorities and other companies. The benefit of proximity allows us to be able to quickly and effectively resolve problems that may arise and avoid potential time loss, which is most important during the construction phase.

Regional Construction Activities

Communications

Frank Fox Associates Ltd. are particularly aware of the need to maintain good and honest relations with our client, the community and local authorities. A practical and flexible approach must be taken through to all phases of the design and construction. It is important that solutions that emerge, satisfy all the conditions and fully meet the client's requirements.

Quality Control Procedures

Members of our team are regularly sent to CPD (Continual Professional Development) seminars and are encouraged to take an active role in our professional bodies. An established method of dealing with all projects has been arrived at as a result of over 30 years experience dealing successfully with a wide variety of structural projects. These procedures have been documented and this document is used on a daily basis when dealing with every project. There is an established and defined procedure for the issuing of all documentation from the design/drawing office or general administration office with checks built into the system to ensure that a record is maintained of all issued documents. These procedures for ensuring that matters arising from either design team meetings or site meetings are highlighted immediately they arrive into the office and are allocated to the appropriate person for action with follow up notices.
