What is development monitoring?

Development monitoring involves overseeing and reviewing how a construction project is progressing. The process aims to ensure developments remain on schedule, within budget and compliant with legal and regulatory requirements. Using this service acts as a safeguard for investors, tenants and developers by providing regular updates during construction.

"Development monitoring delivers critical insights and ensures every milestone is met with precision. It is the key to achieving smooth project execution and long-term success in construction and property development."

Ian Harrington
Regional Managing Partner (North)

What are the benefits of development monitoring?

There are many benefits when you use development monitoring services, such as:

Ensures tenants are updated

As the occupiers of the finished constructions, tenants have unique requirements when it comes to staying up to date with the project’s progress. Among other milestones, they need to know when to be ready to fit out interiors and when the building work has been completed to their standards.

Provides essential information to investors

We provide extensive monitoring in order to give investors the information they need to protect their exposure in the short and long term. These may be the people funding new developments fully or acquiring property through forward purchase.

Allows banks to make informed decisions

Lenders need to be able to recover their capital, which is why they benefit immensely from our development monitoring services. We cover all aspects of developments with updates when required, enabling banks to make the right decisions concerning risks.
