Elvet Chartered Surveyors have extensive experience delivering the role of a Clerk of Works to ensure projects meet high quality standards, which meet the client’s expectations in accordance with the contract.

We understand the critical role the CoW delivers in ensuring the end product meets the objectives set out within the client’s brief and works information whilst demonstrating conformance with all statutory undertakings. During our appointment we act as the eyes and ears of both the client and the project team to identify potential problems and mitigate risk.

Our staff adopt an ethos of collaborative working acting within the contract to help develop a spirit of cooperation which enhances the delivery of any scheme.

We are conscious that defects in construction can be extremely damaging to a project by incurring significant cost and causing delays within the programme.

Furthermore, there is often an unseen impact to the client’s reputation, which we will work diligently to protect by enforcing a strong and robust site presence throughout the scheme.

Through the production of accurate and timely reports we will document a detailed account of onsite progress to limit any opportunity for the contractor to deviate away from the specification and allow us to alert the client of any potential issues with potential to negatively impact the programme, budget, or quality.
