The Benefits Of Construction Site Visits
Valuations and site visits enable construction to be monitored at regular intervals and ensure that all parties have up-to-date details regarding the status of the project and any variation orders which have been applied.
Construction site visits may sound straightforward, but it’s an important part of the construction process. While works are underway, dedicated personnel will visit the site to assess progress and determine which works have been completed, which are ongoing, and which have yet to commence.
- Ensures that the project is running to the agreed schedule
- Makes sure interim targets are being hit
- Variations orders can be discussed and implemented
Why Carry Out Site Audits?
Whilst the vast majority of potential issues will have been dealt with contractually and at pre-start meetings, there can sometimes be surprises during the construction process itself.
When extra work needs to be undertaken or if variations are required, these costs will need to be contracted and monitored in accordance with any existing contracts that are in place.
Stay In The Loop With A Valuation
Throughout the course of the project, various valuations may need to be undertaken. An interim valuation assesses the level of works completed and can lead to interim payment resolution. Carried out by a quantity surveyor, interim valuations are usually scheduled within your original contract, although they can also be arranged on an ad hoc basis.
