Trust and Handling

Handling arrangements come before sensitive project files.

  • Work begins after reviewing the project scope and available documents.
  • Confidential or commercially sensitive material should not be sent until handling arrangements are discussed.
  • Clients remain responsible for technical accuracy, approvals, signatures, compliance, and professional certification.
  • Access, storage, retention, and backup arrangements must be agreed before implementation.
  • Support availability depends on workload, deadlines, and required production capacity.

Yes. Existing folders can be reviewed, cleaned up, renamed, and restructured according to the agreed scope.

Can TumpeTech prepare report templates?

Yes. Practical report templates, meeting templates, and correspondence structures can be created or formatted.

Retention is not assumed. Storage, backup, access, and retention arrangements must be agreed before implementation.

Can TumpeTech support several project sites?

Support across several sites may be possible depending on document volume, deadlines, communication channels, and agreed responsibilities.

How quickly can work begin?

Timing depends on scope, file readiness, deadline, and current capacity. Share the deadline and document condition first.

What documents should be shared first?

Start with the project or tender instructions, current folder structure, document list, deadline, print requirements, and responsibility split. Discuss sensitive-file handling first.
