Your contractor builds it.Our engineer answers for it.

We don't hold the construction contract — and that is the point. Your contractor builds; our engineer represents you against that contractor. Because you pay us, there is nothing for us to gain from a bill going unchecked.

No, and this is how most of our sites begin. We survey what has been built, re-measure everything already billed, write a fresh BOQ for the work that remains, and apply the checklist from that day forward. You get a written report of what we found before you decide anything.

Only if you want us to. In most cases the contractor stays and simply starts working to measured quantities and written specifications. Where a contractor refuses to be measured, that itself tells you something — and we will help you find a replacement.

A builder or turnkey company designs, builds and checks its own work. With a contractor, you usually pay less but nobody independent checks the work or the bills. A contractor plus your own engineer gives you the contractor's price with an independent check on every stage and every bill — which is what we do.

An architect's visit checks that the building follows the design, usually at a few milestones. Our engineer is on site every working day, checking workmanship, materials and quantities, and auditing every contractor bill before you pay. The two work well together.

Every working day on an active site, and at every critical stage — reinforcement before a pour, concreting, waterproofing and each material delivery. The day's report tells you when they were there and exactly what they checked.

Yes. Bring whatever you have — an architect's set, a sanctioned plan or a contractor's sketch. We read it, tell you what is missing or unbuildable, and work from it once it is sound.

A daily site report with photographs, a stage checklist with test results, a re-measured bill audit before each payment, a live view of spend against plan, and a documented handover file at the end.

Chennai city and its suburbs — Anna Nagar to OMR, Ambattur to Tambaram, ECR and beyond. For a plot outside that we will tell you honestly whether we can serve it properly rather than take the job and travel badly.

Yes. The site visit and the written quote cost you nothing, and there is no obligation after either. You should be able to find out whether we are useful without paying to find out.

It is quoted against your built-up area, the number of floors and how long the site will run — a fixed figure, in writing, before anything begins, and billed monthly. Nothing is charged as a percentage of what you spend, so we never earn more by letting a bill grow.

No advance goes to your contractor before the stage it pays for has been inspected and measured — that is the money we are protecting. Our own fee is separate and much smaller: it is billed monthly, in advance, like any professional retainer.

Daily supervision is the main plan: an engineer on your site every working day. Stage-wise inspection is the lighter option — we come for the stages that decide the building and audit every bill, for less. A house being built fast, or by a contractor you don't know, is worth the daily plan. We will tell you honestly which one your site needs.

Never. You pay your suppliers and your contractor directly. We check the rates before you commit and the grade on delivery, but nothing is purchased through us — which is exactly why our opinion on a rate is worth anything.

Until handover, plus the defect-inspection period set out in your agreement. If your site pauses, the engagement pauses with it rather than quietly billing on.

Tell us and we replace them, with a proper handover of the file, the checklist and the photo record so your site does not lose a day.
