A kit family is a set of issued items that travel together. We study one family at a time.

What can be booked

Studies of issued kits

Each study is a visit to a workplace, not a remote reading of your stores spreadsheet. Choose the length that matches how wide the kit family is and how many crews touch it.

The flagship is the Toolkit Adoption Study: several days on one site or crew cluster, a tally of what is present and used, and a written account. Shorter work exists when the question is narrower — how one role applies the kit, whether a change stuck, or how to brief the people who supervise the floor.

Fees are quoted from the rates on the fees page. Travel outside Canberra is added in the estimate, not hidden in a day rate.

Application Review

A shorter look at how one role or crew actually applies an issued kit on the job — which pieces come out, which stay boxed, and what gets substituted.

Return Visit

Supervisor Briefing

A sitting with the people who run the floor, walking through the written account so the findings do not die in an inbox.
