Our approach to Development Monitoring

We take a proactive, hands-on approach to development monitoring, offering independent advice and comprehensive reporting. Our services include:

  • Pre-Construction Reviews: Assessing project documentation, designs, and contracts to identify risks and ensure alignment with industry standards and client expectations.

  • Construction Phase Monitoring: Regular site inspections to track progress, verify quality, and ensure adherence to agreed schedules and specifications.

  • Risk Assessment: Highlighting and mitigating risks that could impact the project’s timeline, budget, or quality.

  • Change Control Management: Monitoring and evaluating any proposed changes to ensure they are viable and align with project goals.

  • Final Handover Review: Ensuring the completed development meets agreed specifications and is fit for purpose.
