SPECIAL NEEDS:

​

   The work Building Contractors or Specialist Tradespeople will be asked to provide is determined by the specific needs of our clients. These needs are established after careful assessment by an Occupational Therapist or a trained health professional who will assess the client's functional requirements.

Contractors play an important role in the delivery of services to special needs' clients. They will need to be aware that, in view of our clients' special needs and because of the nature of some disabilities, they may be required to demonstrate a certain understanding or compassion when dealing with clients that would not necessarily apply in a standard commercial contract situation. Soncur works with specialized home operators for optimal specialized delivery of service and scheduling to ensure home occupants and health professionals as little disruption as possible. 

Scope of Work 

  It is imperative that the scope of works referring to the needs of our clients are well understood prior to construction or modifications  as to ensure minimal disruption and proper delivery of service.   

Confidentiality 

  When completing work for a client on behalf of SONCUR, we ask that our Home Technicians abide by a Confidentiality Agreement which they may be required to sign. Any personal aspect of the work should only be discussed with the relevant parties involved, e.g. the management company, the Contractor and their staff, the Occupational Therapist as well as the client.

Observing safe work practices in the homes of  SONCUR clients is extremely important.

For example, Contractors should:

• ensure clients are not exposed to dust or chemicals;

• advise clients of any temporary hazards created by the building work; 

• not stack materials in thoroughfares that might obstruct access for clients using wheelchairs or walking frames; and

• remove all waste and clean up upon completion of work

By keeping them informed, most clients will be happy to co-operate with Contractors to allow their modifications to proceed. Many clients will remain in their homes while the modification work is underway and will appreciate the minimum possible disruption during construction. Soncur works & is commited to provide safe working conditons.
