Buying Your Pure Home
Taking Care During Site Visits
We appreciate that this is an exciting time for you and that you will be keen to see your new home during construction. During the purchase process there may well be opportunities for you to do this but such a visit is likely to take you into or through the construction site. As you may be aware, any construction area is a dangerous environment even if not operational.
At Pure we take health and safety issues very seriously and your safety is our primary concern. Under no circumstances must you go into a construction area unless you are accompanied by a Pure employee. For this reason, we ask that you telephone your sales advisor to arrange an appointment if you do wish to view your home while under construction.
When you arrive for your agreed viewing please report to the Sales Suite. There you will receive a safety briefing and clear and comprehensive details of the procedures that need to be followed and commitments required by all parties to ensure your safety, during the visit. You will also have to wear protective safety clothing that we will provide, including a hard hat and high visibility over vest.
At times we may need to limit your visits to specific construction areas so it may not always be possible to enter your new home during the early stages of construction. It might simply be the case that it is unsafe to go into certain areas at critical stages of construction so the timing of your visit is important to us and needs to be planned carefully in advance.
Hazards on a construction site of which you need to be aware include:
- Excavations
- Trip Hazards
- Contractors working at height
- Low headroom, scaffolding etc
