We were appointed to provide a watching brief on Somerset Crossing, a new shopping centre developed by AJ Property Developers in Somerset West, by acting on behalf of an equity partner with a stake in the project. Rather than running the cost plan ourselves, our role was to independently monitor the build on the investor’s behalf as it progressed from bulk earthworks through to a full retail centre.
Our role covered reviewing monthly valuations and payment certificates, verifying progress against programme, and flagging cost or construction risk early, giving our client the independent oversight needed to protect their investment through to completion. The result is a large, well-let retail centre serving the surrounding community, delivered with the added confidence that comes from independent cost and progress verification throughout the build.
