As your owner’s representative, we protect your interests throughout the construction process. We provide independent professional oversight to ensure builders and contractors fulfil their contractual obligations.
Drawing on extensive tribunal experience, we understand construction contract administration and owner responsibilities under standard building contracts including HIA and MBA forms.
We provide systematic quality monitoring throughout your project to ensure work complies with:
Mario Bournelis has provided expert evidence on construction programmes and preliminaries in tribunal proceedings, demonstrating deep understanding of construction sequencing and quality requirements at each stage.
Our progress inspections occur at critical construction stages to verify work quality and compliance before subsequent stages commence.
As noted in tribunal proceedings, we provide progress inspections “at any construction stage, including critical stages like waterproofing, framing, lock-up, and pre-completion.”
Each inspection includes detailed photographic documentation and written reports identifying any defects or non-compliances requiring rectification before work proceeds.
We oversee contractor performance to ensure compliance with contractual obligations and quality standards.
Our contractor management services:
We have extensive experience reviewing contractor scope of works and supervising rectification projects, as demonstrated in complex strata defect cases involving multiple consultants and contractors.
We provide independent verification of progress payment claims to ensure you only pay for work actually completed to an acceptable standard.
Our tribunal experience includes analysis of progress claim disputes, contract variations, and payment obligations under standard building contracts.
Comprehensive documentation is critical for successful project delivery and future reference.
Our documentation services include:
All reports comply with professional documentation standards and are suitable for use in legal proceedings if disputes arise.
We coordinate multiple consultants to ensure all technical aspects of your project are properly managed.
Coordination services:
Mario Bournelis has participated in numerous expert conclaves with hydraulic engineers, structural engineers, and building consultants, demonstrating capability to coordinate complex multi-disciplinary projects.
In one significant strata case, we worked collaboratively with hydraulic consultants and building consultants to prepare agreed scope of rectification works and supervise contractor implementation.
For new home construction, we provide owner’s representative services throughout the build process, attending site at critical stages, verifying quality, and ensuring contract compliance.
We oversee renovation work to ensure compliance with building codes, proper integration with existing structures, and quality workmanship throughout.
For owners corporations undertaking common property works, we prepare scope of works, manage consultant coordination, supervise contractors, and ensure proper completion of rectification projects.
We provide construction monitoring for commercial projects requiring independent professional oversight of contractor performance and quality compliance.
When should I engage project management services?
Ideally before signing a construction contract, so we can review contract terms and establish monitoring from the project’s commencement. However, we can also be engaged during construction if concerns arise.
How often do you inspect during construction?
Inspection frequency depends on your project’s complexity and critical stages. Typical residential projects receive 6–10 inspections from commencement to completion, timed to critical construction stages.
Do you inspect during construction or only at completion?
We provide progress inspections throughout construction at critical stages including waterproofing, framing, lock-up, and pre-completion — not just final inspections.
Can you help if problems arise during construction?
Yes. We provide technical documentation of defects, specifications for rectification, and can liaise with builders and contractors to resolve issues.
What’s included in your inspection reports?
Each report includes detailed written observations, photographic documentation, identification of defects or non-compliances, reference to relevant standards or codes, and recommendations for rectification or further action.
Do you verify progress payment claims?
Yes. We can independently assess whether claimed work stages are complete and meet quality standards before progress payments are made.
Can you coordinate multiple consultants on my project?
Yes. We regularly coordinate input from structural engineers, hydraulic consultants, architects, and specialist consultants, ensuring all technical requirements are properly integrated.
