Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our Project Monitoring service for commercial and residential property clients across London and the UK.
What is a project monitor and why do lenders require one?
A project monitor acts independently on behalf of a funder or lender to verify that construction progresses as planned, funds are used appropriately, and risks are managed effectively. Lenders require independent monitoring to protect their security and ensure loan proceeds are drawn against genuine progress.
At what stage of a development should a project monitor be appointed?
The project monitor should be appointed before any funds are advanced — ideally at the point of formal loan or funding agreement. Early appointment allows us to review the project arrangements and cost plan before works begin.
What types of development do you monitor?
We monitor all types of commercial development, including new build offices, residential-led schemes, hotel and leisure, industrial and logistics, retail, and mixed-use developments across the United Kingdom.
