Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about client technical advisor services for construction projects.

A Client Technical Advisor provides independent technical support to clients throughout a construction project, from initial appraisal and design review through to construction monitoring and post-completion snagging. They act as the client's representative on technical matters, helping to bridge the gap between the client's requirements and the design and construction team's delivery.

A Clerk of Works is an independent quality assurance professional who inspects construction works on behalf of the client to ensure they are being carried out to the agreed specification and standards. They provide regular reports on progress, quality, and any defects or discrepancies identified during inspections.

The earlier the better. Appointing a technical advisor at the project appraisal or brief preparation stage allows them to provide maximum value by shaping design requirements, identifying risks early, and ensuring the project is structured appropriately from the outset. Late appointment limits the ability to influence key decisions.

Snagging is the process of inspecting a building upon or near completion to identify any defects, incomplete items, or work that does not meet the required standard. A thorough snagging inspection ensures the contractor rectifies all outstanding issues before final accounts are settled, protecting the client's position and reducing post-handover problems.

A technical advisor adds value by identifying potential issues at an early stage when they are cheaper to resolve, monitoring construction quality to prevent defects accumulating, keeping the client informed through progress reports, and providing independent verification of contractor claims. This oversight reduces the risk of costly disputes, delays, and post-completion defects.

Yes. Core Compliance can advise on sustainable construction approaches, low-carbon design options, and emerging technologies relevant to your project type and budget. Embedding sustainability requirements at an early stage is typically more cost-effective than retrofitting solutions later, and our team can help you understand the options and implications for your specific project.
