Lift plan reviews — Ashfield Mills and other Caddick projects

Published August 2025

I very much value the services provided by RMT Solutions regarding lift plan reviews. Many contractors only provide lift plans late in the day and when required, RMT Solutions always provide comments and approvals quickly so that any issues can be sorted out and the programme of works maintained on site. When contractors are unable to provide suitable lift plans themselves, RMT Solutions are willing to produce lift plans for the works, again on a quick turnaround, so that progress of works is not affected. I would highly recommend RMT Solutions to anyone wanting a capable, professional company to work with regarding the review of lift plans, and one that will always go the extra mile to offer assistance when required.

I have been using RMT Solutions on my last two schemes and have always found the service they provide to be first class in regards of appraising lifting plans to ensure that lifts on site are designed, planned, and fit for purpose. The service they provide is always concise and helpful for the issuer and the turnaround is always prompt and advice is always on the end of the phone. I would have no hesitation in recommending RMT Solutions.

Lift plan appraisals across his last two schemes

Ricky has provided a great level of expertise in our lifting operations across my last three projects. Lift plans that are submitted sometimes late or with changes to Ricky are generally still reviewed and returned in a timely manner with a detailed response on either accepted or rejected status. Ricky is also more than happy to pick up the phone and speak to the contractors and APs that have submitted their work and explain his reasoning. Ricky provides a comfort for the site team knowing that all lifting activities onsite are checked and compliant.

We, the site team at Lawns, would highly recommend RMT Solutions. Their thorough scrutiny of lifting documentation, rapid turnaround times and clear understanding of LOLER and wider UK regulatory requirements have significantly strengthened our safe-system-of-work processes and provided the project with a high level of confidence and operational assurance.

I have had access to Ricky's considerable knowledge putting together and evaluating lift plans over a number of years at Wates and now at Caddick. Ricky provides a comprehensive service and has an excellent knowledge of LOLER and BS 7121 regulations and always provides comprehensive lift plans for our operations when required. Ricky is particularly helpful in meeting tight deadlines in cases when lift plans are submitted at the eleventh hour. The service provided by Ricky is always concise and helpful to the issuer and often Ricky will speak directly with the issuer to resolve any possible issues arising for the plans as submitted. I can recommend RMT Solutions without any hesitation.

Lift plan writing and review — Caddick (and previously Wates)

Published January 2026

Since engaging Ricky Marsh within the NW Region of Caddick Construction Limited, governance of Lifting Operations (both Crane & Non-Crane) has improved massively and certainly ensures full compliance with both LOLER 1998 & BS 7121. Ricky is very responsive and has when required accommodated even the late supply of lift plans and turned them round to ensure safe lifts on the day. I would recommend his services to both Caddick Group and beyond.

I've been using RMT Solutions for lift plan reviews for a number of years now and have always had a great experience. Their work is consistently in line with LOLER 1998 regulations, which gives me full confidence in the quality and compliance of the service they provide. Everything is always completed in a timely manner, and they've often been able to help me out at short notice when I've had last-minute requests — which has been a huge help on more than one occasion. Overall, RMT are reliable, professional, and easy to deal with. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend their services to others.

Lift plan support across his last two projects (30 months)

Published April 2026

RMT Solutions provided lift plan reviews and excavator lift plans for our solar farm construction projects, and the service has been consistently solid. The documentation is thorough, clearly structured, and has held up well under LOLER scrutiny from both our client and insurers. Turnaround times have been prompt, and whenever we've needed revisions, Ricky has been responsive and straightforward to work with. I'd have no hesitation recommending RMT Solutions to colleagues on other Sunel projects.

Caddick Group lift plan governance — third-party assurance

Published June 2026

I have most recently worked with Ricky on my project in Leeds. We required an informative and specific lifting plan for various different lifts around the project. I used him twice on that particular contract. Both times the lifting plan met the needs for the job and was delivered in very good time. I have already recommended Ricky to other site managers within my organisation and will definitely be using him again.

Lift plans for various lift types — Leeds project

Published May 2026

We've used RMT Solutions to review lift plans across all Caddick Construction projects over the last 18 months and have found the service to be professional, responsive and technically robust. The reviews provide assurance that lifting documentation meets the requirements of LOLER, BS 7121 and our own internal standards, while also identifying practical improvements where needed. Feedback is clear and constructive, turnaround times are good, and support is always available when revisions are required. More recently, I've worked closely with Ricky while developing a lifting minimum standards document for our business — his knowledge, practical experience and willingness to provide guidance have been invaluable in helping me establish a consistent and robust approach to lifting operations across our projects. The service has added real value to our lifting governance process, and I would recommend RMT Solutions to others within the construction industry.

At Caddick Construction we have made use of RMT Solutions Ltd services for the last 15 months or so. Ricky Marsh has been superb on all levels with his support and advice, assisting Caddick with lifting solutions and third-party lift plan appraisals. His service is always very professional, friendly, swift and helpful, with a positive approach and 'can do' attitude. RMT Solutions is currently contracted as a third-party consultant by Caddick to appraise all crane and non-crane lift plans throughout the business. Ricky's lift plan appraisal process is robust and fully compliant with the LOLER 1998 and BS 7121 standards, and incorporates Caddick's CAT A and CAT B appraisal standard. I would fully recommend RMT Solutions' service to anyone within the Caddick Group, our supply chain partners, and anyone who wishes to use his services.
