Quantity Surveying (Technical Diligence to projects)

This service aims to fulfil the specific needs of investors, fund managers or future owners, providing a brief analysis on the project progress and giving the client, in regular basis, reports about the goals defined for the project.

Project Monitoring is frequently confused with Project Management (the latter directed to clients that are in property development), but, in fact, it is basically an audit to Project Management services.

Our service is aimed for protecting investor’s interest, assuring that projects are being completed within the timeline and budget defined, and obey high quality standards.
