Project Readiness Audit
Your project may have planning approval. But is it really ready to build?
Before you accept a quotation or allow work to begin, we review the information behind your project and identify unclear scope, missing details and foreseeable risks that could lead to additional costs, delays or disputes.
No obligation. Practical guidance from experienced residential construction professionals.
“A safer way to plan, choose and build.”
Most building problems begin before construction starts.
A planning approval does not automatically mean that your project contains everything a builder needs to price and deliver it accurately. Important details can remain unresolved across drawings, structural information, drainage, specifications, approvals and quotations.
Unclear or incomplete scope
Different builders may be pricing different versions of the same project.
Provisional sums
Allowances can change when the final work or specification is confirmed.
Drainage and public sewers
Restrictions may affect the design, excavation and build-over requirements.
Party Wall requirements
Late action can cause delays and additional professional fees.
Missing construction information
Planning drawings may not contain every detail required for accurate pricing.
Unclear quotation exclusions
Items excluded from the headline price may return later as additional costs.
SEE IT.
We identify the risks, omissions and unclear information within the project documentation.
SAY IT.
We explain the findings clearly, without unnecessary construction jargon.
SOLVE IT.
We provide practical next actions before the issues become expensive site problems.
See the risk. Say it clearly. Solve it before it becomes the client's problem.
One structured review of the information behind your project.
The exact review depends on the documents available and the project type. The audit identifies missing or unclear information; it does not replace specialist design, structural, legal, planning or Building Control advice.
