Development Monitoring

Fitzpatrick Property Consultants act as monitoring surveyors where development works are being implemented by third parties in accordance with the terms of a Development or Funding Agreement.

Our role is to identify, quantify and mitigate our client's exposure to development risk and ensure that the project is delivered in accordance with the legal agreement(s). We would also provide impartial, balanced, clear and concise advice on the suitability of the design team appointments and collateral warranties, fitness for purpose of the design and specification; procurement route; novation of the design team and contractor proposals. Early warning would be provided where risks were identified and problem solving would be proposed to the design and construction team where appropriate.

Where funding for the project is provided by our client, we would manage the 'drawdown' process and review / modify / sign off the cost consultant's payment certificates in accordance with the funding agreement.

Careful attention to the quality of workmanship and compliance with the design are key factors and we may deploy a site based 'clerk of works' to assist in monitoring larger projects.

Monthly reports are issued throughout the project until practical completion and quarterly reports thereafter (or more frequently if required), until issuing of the final certificate. This certificate will follow expiry of the 12 months warranty period and implementation of any remedial works required under the building contract.

Development monitoring is also carried out for investors, future occupiers and building owners, ensuring that the design, construction and delivery of the project are in accordance with the agreements.
