The construction division of Schwartz Kristoffel, the Schwartz CD works in close collaboration with our Technical and Materials Engineering division. Work scopes and design drawings for any construction bid to be undertaken by the company is first reviewed by the Schwartz TME team prior to our entering the bid and any identified inadequacies in the design and for construction materials specifications are first brought to the attention of the client at pre-tender meetings and alternative designs and for materials specifications to address any observed lapses in the original designs are presented. Very often, contracts are awarded to Schwartz on the basis of its alternative designs and materials specifications.
