Fletchers update - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) -- Part 1
As mentioned in a recent post, Fletchers have made three important additions to their EQC - Helping the recovery in Canterbury website at www.eqr.co.nz. One of these is the FAQ page with a series of questions that attempt to cover the background and processes of the work Fletchers will manage.
The page is divided into four sections. Each section describes an aspect of the process, and within each section are questions, and answers, that Fletchers anticipate are most likely to be raised.

If none of this makes sense to you, our printed copy is available.
