Project Type: Conversion and new-build
Location: Somerton, Somerset
Development Costs: £2,750,000
Status: Completed
Conversion of existing buildings into 6 residential units, alongside a new build development of 3 dwellings.
Our Role
- Undertook independent site monitoring for the funder through regular visits to review works completed, progress, and key risks.
- Assessed drawdown requests against the cost plan and progress on site to support fair, informed release of funds.
- Produced structured interim reports throughout, highlighting material issues, implications for completion, and any actions required.
- Completed a final review at project close-out to confirm funds could be safely released and certification/documentation was in place.
Key Considerations
- Ground conditions affecting foundations, sequencing and programme certainty.
- Spoil disposal requirements and the implications for cost, logistics and programme.
- Retained elements (walls, floors, roof) influencing structural approach and methods.
Outcome
- The funder’s interests were protected through independent monitoring and clear reporting on progress, cost and key risks throughout.
Insight
Ground conditions can drive programme and cost quickly — early allowances and practical contingency planning are essential.
