You live abroad while your home is being built in Portugal. The photos arrive, but can you tell whether the work is progressing as planned?
Useful updates explain what has been completed, what is still outstanding, where deviations have been identified and which decisions need your input.
Agree at the outset who communicates with you, how often and how decisions will be recorded. Each request for a decision should make clear who needs to respond and by when.
Photos are useful evidence. A report should explain what they show and what it means for the next stage of work.
At CertiAmb, we agree on the scope of site supervision and construction management, the frequency of site visits and the reporting arrangements at the outset. Our reports set out completed work, outstanding items, identified deviations and decisions required, with the relevant people and agreed response dates identified.
Technical checks take place on site in Portugal. Clear updates help you take part in decisions from abroad.
