Our Services
Key Team Member: Paul Harper
Our Project Monitoring experience encompasses all types of property across the whole of the UK and overseas. The works monitored range from internal fit-outs/ refurbishments through to major new developments.
We recognise the importance of the monitoring role starting at an early stage in the project to ensure that the risks in terms of time, cost & quality are managed as effectively as possible. We can also retrospectively audit works by others and are increasingly called upon to undertake ‘health checks’ on troubled developments.
We act for Commercial Banks, Pension Funds, Institutional Investors, Corporate Occupiers, Receivers and Public Sector clients.
Our clients include HSBC, Lloyds Banking Group, Al Rayan Bank, Bank Leumi, Qatar National Bank, Santander Knight Frank Investment Management, Aviva Investors, AIG Asset Management, EFG Private Bank, Deutsche Bank, Deutsche Hypo, Handlesbanken and Metro Bank.
