Solvix provides independent construction audit services for projects that need an objective view of how the work is actually being delivered. Our audits are designed to test whether construction activities, controls, records, and reporting align with the project requirements, contractual expectations, approved designs, and accepted standards of quality and compliance.
A construction audit is not just a site walk. It is a structured review of physical progress, workmanship, quality systems, reporting discipline, document control, construction methodology, interface management, and handover preparedness. The purpose is to identify where execution is strong, where risk is building, and what action is needed to correct course early.
Independent reviews of project delivery, quality, compliance, progress, and control systems.
Action-focused findings that support owners, developers, contractors, funders, and project leadership teams.
Audit reporting that can be used for internal governance, lender oversight, recovery decisions, or dispute-sensitive project reviews.
Assess workmanship standards, inspection regimes, non-conformance management, and recurring quality issues on site.
Review permits, approvals, inspection records, method statements, quality documentation, and closeout readiness.
Test whether reported progress reflects site conditions, sequencing logic, and realistic completion status.
Examine sequencing, temporary works, access, logistics, interfaces, and constructability concerns.
A construction audit can be carried out as a periodic check on a live project, as a targeted review of a troubled package, or before handover. It compares what was planned and reported with what is on site.
Reported progress and quality are checked against the physical works and the records.
The project's quality, reporting, and issue-resolution systems are reviewed to see whether they work.
Findings are graded by significance and linked to specific corrective actions and owners.
Projects often report satisfactory progress and quality until problems surface at handover. An independent audit checks the position earlier, while corrective action is still practical.
Periodic review of quality, progress, and reporting on a live project.
Targeted audits of specific trades such as structure, MEP, or finishes.
Review of completion status, documentation, and defects before handover.
Independent reporting on construction progress and controls for funders.
Assessment of projects with recurring rework, slippage, or weak controls.
Re-audit to confirm that previous findings have been addressed.
Project sponsors want an independent check on site execution, quality trends, or management reporting.
A lender, investor, or governance board needs assurance that project delivery controls are functioning properly.
There is concern that reported progress is overstated, closeout is incomplete, or handover readiness is weaker than claimed.
Recurring non-conformances, interface failures, rework, or poor documentation are starting to affect certainty of completion.
A project is drifting toward delay, cost pressure, quality defects, or dispute, and stakeholders want a neutral technical review. Construction audits can be deployed at mobilization, mid-project, pre-handover, during troubled delivery, or as part of a wider claims, expert, or technical-advisory assignment. The scope can be broad for overall governance reviews or targeted at a specific work package, discipline, location, or failure pattern.
Measures commonly used to report audit findings and track whether corrective action is working
Difference between reported and observed completion.
Number and age of unresolved NCRs.
Share of inspections passed at first attempt.
Unanswered technical queries affecting the works.
Open snagging items by area and trade.
Status of test certificates, O&M manuals, and as-builts.
We define the audit purpose, reporting line, standards, and specific questions that need answering.
We review the documents that explain what should have happened, what was reported, and how the project has been controlled.
We compare the records with physical reality, looking at status, workmanship, coordination, access, sequencing, and constraints.
We review whether the project team’s systems for quality, reporting, issue resolution, and closeout are operating effectively.
We distinguish minor observations from material risks and assess how each issue may affect quality, programme, cost, and completion confidence.
We present findings clearly, identify priority actions, and help the client focus on what must be corrected first.
An owner or developer wants an objective review of quality, reporting credibility, and site execution health.
The project team needs an external check on documentation, punch list exposure, and completion preparedness.
Stakeholders suspect slippage, weak controls, recurring rework, or poor interface management and need an independent view.
An external stakeholder needs concise, evidence-based reporting on execution quality and project control maturity.
A construction audit is broader. It reviews not only physical conditions but also the systems, records, reporting, controls, and management processes that shape project delivery.
Yes. The scope can be targeted at structural works, architectural finishes, MEP installations, closeout readiness, reporting quality, or another defined concern.
Yes. Construction audits can help clarify facts, expose control failures, and identify evidential gaps before matters escalate further.
