Quality Monitoring
An independent eye on the drawings and on site, catching issues while they are still cheap to fix.
The service
Independent review and monitoring to help maintain standards, identify issues early and support quality through delivery.
It works for funders, for clients buying a completed building and for anyone who wants a second set of eyes on a project they are paying for. We are based at the Digital Media Centre in Barnsley, South Yorkshire and work with clients nationwide.

Where we do this work
Our experience and services span both the public and private sectors.
How it runs
We agree the inspection points and the reporting format at the start, so everyone knows what to expect and when.
We are independent of the contractor, which is the whole point of the service.
Tell us about the project and we will set out how we would monitor it.

What is Quality Monitoring?
An independent review of the drawings and the site at key stages, with short written reports. It suits funders, purchasers of completed buildings and anyone who wants a second pair of eyes on a project they are paying for.
Do I have to use you for every stage?
No. Take only the services you need or let our turnkey service handle everything from first sketch to completion with one team and one point of contact. Either way, every stage is director led and we are only a phone call away.
Can you help me find a builder or contractor?
Yes. We prepare tender documents, invite quotes and help you compare them on a like-for-like basis. We can then administer the contract and manage the build through to completion.
