    We can be engaged to undertake the role of Expert Witness, providing independent, impartial and unbiased evidence, based on our experience and knowledge in the construction industry.

  • Fund Monitoring

    We act as fund monitors on behalf of our clients, to identify key issues and, importantly, to offer solutions throughout the project process. We liaise with banks, their lawyers and valuers at every stage of a project.

    During the construction phase we then monitor compliance with the terms of the loan facility and contract requirements and proactively keep the funder informed, particularly of any changes to the risk profile throughout the build period, through our regular progress reports which report on the status of key development issues.

  • Tender Management & Negotiation

    Our approach to tender management is to fully consider the desired outcome of the project before you procure. We will support our clients in developing the right procurement strategy and setting a solid foundation of comprehensive planning and robust management. This includes advising and co-ordinating the development of appropriate tender documentation, pre-qualification and short listing of building contractors, managing the clarification process and qualifying tenders. Using our vast experience and knowledge of the built environment, we support our clients in achieving best value outcomes.
