Design MonitoringThere are quite often circumstances where the client does not wish to
carry out a particular stage of a project himself but still wishes to
control the design quality. Sometimes, for example, a client who owns a
site commissions us to make the planning application, but once consent
is obtained, passes the site to a developer to implement the project. Or
the client, such as a commercial company or public authority, intends
the building for their own use, but decides to employ a design / builder
to carry out both detailed design and construction.
In both these situations we can carry out a design monitoring service
which checks the production information produced by the contractor and
inspects the work on site at intervals to ensure that the design quality
required by the client is fully realised.
A good example of a project where we carried out this service was at Middle Wallop
where we designed 250 replacement married quarters for the Ministry of
Defence and then monitored the detail design and construction work
carried out by the design / build contractor.
