What Our Commercial Site Audits Cover
Every site audit is tailored to the project type, size, and stage. Our inspections are structured, methodical, and grounded in real construction experience.
Site Management and Organisation
We review how the site is being managed day to day, including:
- Site set-up and organisation
- Communication between site teams and management
- Quality of site records and reporting
- Programme visibility and progress tracking
This helps identify inefficiencies, breakdowns in communication, or management gaps that could impact delivery.
Health and Safety Compliance
Health and safety is a critical component of any commercial site audit. We assess compliance with current UK legislation and best practice, including:
- CDM 2015 responsibilities
- Site safety procedures and controls
- Welfare facilities and site housekeeping
- Risk assessments and method statements
Where issues are identified, we provide clear recommendations to reduce exposure and improve compliance.
Quality of Workmanship
Our commercial site audits in Letchworth include a review of workmanship standards across completed and ongoing works. This allows early identification of defects, poor practices, or non-compliant installations before they become costly to correct.
Progress, Programme, and Reporting Accuracy
We assess whether the reported progress reflects reality on site. This is particularly important for directors, lenders, and investors relying on second-hand updates.
Our audits highlight:
- Discrepancies between reported and actual progress
- Delays or risks not being communicated upward
- Areas where programme recovery may be required
How Our Commercial Site Audit Process Works
Pre-Audit Review
We begin by reviewing available project documentation, site information, and audit objectives to ensure the inspection focuses on what matters most to you.
On-Site Inspection
We attend the site and carry out a structured audit, reviewing management practices, safety, workmanship, and progress.
Reporting and Recommendations
You receive a clear, written and photographic report outlining findings, risks, and practical recommendations. Reports are designed to support immediate action and informed decision-making.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a site audit and a quality control inspection?
A commercial site audit focuses on overall site performance, management, safety, and reporting accuracy. A quality control inspection focuses more narrowly on workmanship and compliance at specific stages.
When should I arrange a commercial site audit?
Site audits are valuable at any stage of a project, particularly when progress concerns arise, during critical phases, or before key stakeholder updates.
Are your site audits independent?
Yes. Construction Eye Ltd provides fully independent commercial site audits with no affiliation to contractors or developers.
How quickly will I receive the audit report?
Timescales depend on project size, but we aim to deliver reports promptly to support timely decision-making.
