Greenwich is home to significant regeneration activity, with major new-build residential and mixed-use schemes requiring independent development monitoring on behalf of lenders and investors. The scale and complexity of development in Greenwich demands rigorous oversight to protect funding positions and ensure that projects are delivered to the required standards.
We provide RICS regulated development monitoring services across Greenwich, acting on behalf of banks, building societies, private lenders and institutional investors to provide independent oversight of construction projects from pre-start through to practical completion and final drawdown.
Our development monitoring approach in Greenwich reflects the area’s major regeneration programmes, ensuring that monitoring reports address the specific risks associated with large-scale new-build and infrastructure-led development.
We carry out pre-start assessments for development projects in Greenwich, reviewing planning consents, building control submissions, contractor credentials, programme viability and cost plans before the first drawdown is recommended to the funder.
We provide regular progress reports for Greenwich development projects, inspecting works on site, verifying stage completion against the programme, identifying risks and reporting independently to the lender or investor on project status.
We certify drawdown requests for development projects in Greenwich, verifying that works completed on site correspond to the funding claimed and that the project remains on programme and within budget before recommending release of funds.
We carry out practical completion reviews for Greenwich development projects, inspecting the completed works against specification, identifying outstanding defects and confirming that the project has reached a standard suitable for occupation or sale.

View ServiceDevelopment monitoring is an independent oversight service provided on behalf of lenders and investors funding construction projects in Greenwich. We inspect the development at regular intervals, verify progress against the programme and cost plan, and report to the funder on whether drawdown requests are supported by the works completed on site.
Development monitoring is typically instructed by the lender or funder providing development finance for a project in Greenwich. This includes high street banks, building societies, private lenders, bridging finance providers and institutional investors. The monitoring surveyor acts independently to protect the funder’s position.
Inspection frequency depends on the project scale and the lender’s requirements. For most development projects in Greenwich, we carry out monthly site inspections aligned with drawdown requests. For larger or more complex schemes, more frequent inspections may be appropriate.
RICS regulation means our development monitoring practice operates under mandatory professional standards, including requirements for professional indemnity insurance, complaints handling procedures and continuing professional development. This provides lenders with confidence that their monitoring surveyor in Greenwich is a regulated professional with appropriate governance.
