Kruger Survey & Engineering employs a specialized four-stage report development procedure to ensure clients receive high-quality, accurate marine survey reports promptly. First, essential inspection details are handwritten for accuracy. Second, these notes are sent to a technical writer to compile them into a polished, easy-to-read report. In the third stage of report production, the writer thoroughly proofreads the typed report to ensure clarity. Finally, in the fourth stage, Ryan Kruger, a SAMS® Marine Engine Surveyor, conducts a final, comprehensive proofreading to eliminate any errors, ensuring a quality-assured product.
