Monitoring Surveyor
CPM provides independent Monitoring Surveyor services for building remediation works, fire safety remediation schemes and projects governed by Remedial Work Agreements (RWAs).
We support leaseholders, resident management companies, managing agents, freeholders and responsible persons by providing impartial technical oversight, structured reporting and assurance that agreed works are progressing safely, transparently and in line with relevant obligations.
A Monitoring Surveyor does not manage the contractor or direct the works. Instead, they independently monitor progress, quality, compliance and delivery against agreed commitments, helping stakeholders maintain accountability, reduce risk and protect resident interests throughout the remediation process.
CPM provides independent Monitoring Surveyor services for building remediation, fire safety works, RWAs and Developers Remediation Pledge projects, supporting leaseholders, managing agents and responsible persons.
Our role is to help stakeholders understand whether remediation works are being delivered in line with the agreed scope, programme, quality standards, fire safety requirements and relevant compliance obligations.
Who Needs a Monitoring Surveyor?
A Monitoring Surveyor is typically appointed by leaseholders, resident management companies, managing agents, freeholders or responsible persons who need independent assurance that remediation works are being delivered properly. This is especially valuable where projects involve fire safety defects, cladding remediation, complex stakeholder responsibilities, developer commitments or formal obligations under a Remedial Work Agreement.
Why a Monitoring Surveyor Matters
Remediation projects often involve complex technical requirements, multiple stakeholders and strict regulatory obligations. A Monitoring Surveyor provides the independent assurance needed to ensure works are delivered safely, correctly and transparently. Key advantages include:
- Confidence that remediation works meet the agreed scope and fire safety requirements
- Independent verification of quality, workmanship and compliance
- Early identification of defects, risks or non‑compliance
- Clear, impartial reporting to support decision‑making
- Improved accountability from developers and contractors
- Greater protection for leaseholders and responsible persons
For buildings undergoing remediation under the Developers Remediation Pledge or similar agreements, a Monitoring Surveyor is essential for ensuring commitments are met and risks are properly managed.
What a Monitoring Surveyor Does
A Monitoring Surveyor provides structured, independent oversight throughout the remediation process. This typically includes:
Independent Oversight of Remediation Works
Monitoring remediation activities to ensure they align with the agreed scope, specifications, fire safety requirements and regulatory obligations.
Quality Assurance and Compliance
We inspect workmanship, materials and installations to verify compliance with, building regulations, fire safety guidance, relevant British standards and any requirements set out in the Remedial Work Agreement.
Progress Monitoring and Reporting
We can also provide regular, impartial reports covering programme progress, quality, risks, defects, and potential delays, enabling stakeholders to make informed decisions. These reports support informed decision‑making and maintain transparency throughout.
Risk Identification and Escalation
To maintain your peace of mind, we can also help to Identify issues across the remediation process, such as any defects, departures from agreed specifications, non-compliance, or poor workmanship at an early stage and escalating concerns to the appropriate parties. Any concerns are escalated promptly to the appropriate parties to avoid delays or unsafe outcomes.
Commercial and Programme Review
This stage includes monitoring key milestones, reviewing proposed changes to scope and assessing the impact of delays, variations or omissions on the remediation programme.
Stakeholder Liaison
This stage includes monitoring key milestones, reviewing proposed changes to scope and assessing the impact of delays, variations or omissions on the remediation programme.
Pre‑ and Post‑RWA Advisory
Finally, we provide technical support before and after execution of the Remedial Work Agreement, including reviewing proposed remediation scopes, technical solutions, programme commitments, and evidence of completion.
