Independent advice at every decision point.

01 — Single Decision Review

One question. One clear answer.

A focused written recommendation on one defined issue. Ideal for payment approvals, contractor appointments, quote checks, or variation decisions where you need an independent view before you commit.

Typical questions:

• —Should I appoint this contractor?
• —Is this quote realistic?
• —Should I approve this interim payment?
• —Is this variation request justified?

Fixed price · Delivered within 5 working days

Includes

• —Written assessment (3–5 pages)
• —Cost realism commentary (if relevant)
• —Key risk summary
• —Clear outcome: Proceed / Conditions / Stop

02 — Mid-Build Check-In

Already started? We can still help.

A focused, independent review of one defined concern during a live construction project. Designed for clients who want structured reassurance at a specific stage rather than ongoing oversight. Delivered within 3 working days.

Typical situations:

• —Costs running ahead of budget mid-build
• —Unexpected variation request received
• —Stage payment due — does it look right?
• —Programme has slipped — is it recoverable?

Fixed price · Delivered within 3 working days

Includes

• —Written assessment (2–4 pages)
• —Cost or programme commentary
• —Clear position: Accept / Query / Reject / Escalate
• —Optional 20-min follow-up call (included)

03 — Multi-Question Review

Several connected decisions, reviewed together.

Where several related decisions need to be resolved within the same project stage, this option reviews them together — providing clearer context and more joined-up recommendations than treating each issue separately.

Typical use cases:

• —Comparing two quotes and reviewing a key risk
• —Budget realism alongside scope adjustments
• —Pre-contract evaluation — pricing, scope, terms

Both options include

• —Integrated written assessment
• —Linked risk commentary across all issues
• —Prioritised action list
• —Delivered within 5 working days

04 — Project Viability Decision Pack

A formal whole-project assessment before you commit capital.

A structured, independent position paper assessing whether a proposed project is financially realistic, operationally coherent and strategically viable — prior to major commitment. This is not a question-based review. It is a full-scope assessment.

Suitable for projects typically over £150k

Output delivered

• —Written report (typically 8–12 pages)
• —Executive summary
• —Risk scorecard (traffic-light)
• —Formal go / no-go recommendation
• —30-min structured clarification call

05 — Strategic Oversight

Structured independent oversight through delivery.

For clients committing significant personal funds who want independent commercial challenge throughout live construction. Monthly review cycles with written position summaries, financial exposure tracking and structured decision input between reviews.

"This is not project management.
It is independent capital protection."

Oversight is typically offered following a Viability or Multi-Question Review. Minimum 3-month initial term. Limited to a small number of active projects at any one time.

Per month · Minimum 3 months

Each month includes

• —Structured review call (up to 60 mins)
• —Written position summary
• —Financial exposure assessment
• —Priority action list
