EVEVIDEO FOR QUANTITY SURVEYORS
Some building companies can get into trouble in adjudications. Often the builder is accused of not proceeding “regularly and diligently”. There are all sorts of legal tests for this but in general terms the building company usually relies on handwritten sign-in sheets to prove their case.
If, instead, they record a short video at the end of each day, produced by the site manager and shared with the Quantity Surveyor, showing, for example, they had put up a dozen courses of brickwork and plastered 20 rooms, then that would go a long way to negating the charge they are not proceeding.
Apart from anything else, disputes aside, with many big projects on the go at any one time, a Quantity Surveyor could have at their fingertips access to each project to see how it is progressing daily and head off any issues before they become major problems.
