Development Monitoring: A critical link between owners, funders and delivery

What is Development Monitoring?

Development Monitoring provides independent, expert oversight on construction projects - giving funders, owners and occupiers peace of mind that risks are being identified and managed, and that the project remains compliant with all necessary standards and obligations. It’s about representing the interests of those not directly involved in the build, providing clarity and control without stepping into the contractor’s lane.

Why is it important?

With tighter lending conditions and increasing scrutiny in today’s market, development monitoring has become more important than ever. It acts as a safeguard - ensuring that contractual, regulatory and financial responsibilities are being met, and that all parties are informed of key risks before they escalate. For funders in particular, having a reliable, impartial voice can be the difference between costly surprises and confident, proactive decisions.

How does it work?

At Anderton Gables, we work alongside project teams to provide regular, independent reporting throughout the development lifecycle. Our team carries out due diligence, tracks progress against key milestones, identifies potential risks and flags issues early - before they impact programme or cost. From pre-contract reviews to post-completion handovers, our development monitoring service keeps all stakeholders aligned and informed.

The AG Approach

We’re not just box-tickers. We bring straight-talking, commercially aware advice to every project, tailored to suit the needs of the funder or owner. With a focus on clear, timely communication and practical insight, we bridge the gap between contractors and those funding the works - making sure expectations are managed, risks are controlled, and compliance is never compromised.
