What is an Independent Monitoring Surveyor?

As defined by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors, an Independent Monitoring Surveyor (also referred to as Project Monitor, Bank or Fund Monitoring Surveyor) protects a client’s interests, by ‘..identifying and advising on the risks associated with acquiring an interest in a development that is not under the Client’s direct control’.

The function of an Independent Monitoring Surveyor in Construction projects is carried out by Saunders Quantity Surveyors on behalf of a range of client types, including
  • Funding institutions, which will acquire the scheme as an investment upon completion
  • Tenants or purchasers who enter a commitment to lease or purchase a property upon completion
  • Banks or other development finance companies, where a loan matures at the end of the development period
  • Grant funders
  • Private finance initiative funders and end users
Although the risk profile of each client group differs, in each case the development will be designed, constructed, and supervised by a Developer who will employ a design and construction team. The appointment of an Independent Monitoring Surveyor does not replace any of these primary functions, but protects the Client’s interests and enhances construction projects, by monitoring the performance of the Developer and its team.

The The Independent Monitoring Surveyor’s role is one of investigator and advisor to the Client.

We pride ourselves on our eagle-eyed focus on achieving the very best for our clients; acting as their ears and eyes on the ground. Attention to detail and the combined 75 years’ experience of our Independent Monitoring Surveyors, means we can effectively act as an early warning system for our clients; anticipating potential risk which may affect the delivery of the project.
