What monitoring includes
- Two site visits a month, timed around the stages you are about to pay for.
- Weekly report with dated photos, progress against the programme and what is next.
- Stage checks against the drawings: setting out, foundation, frame, roof, services and finishing.
- Payment advice: whether the work claimed has been done, and to the standard in the drawings.
- Material checks: block quality, rebar sizes and concrete cube test results.
- Cost checks against the bill of quantities and current material prices.
Inspection before every payment
Who checks the work? Your choice.
Every stage is inspected before you pay for the next one. Use our team, add an independent firm, bring your own inspector, or combine them.
Option A · Included in every build
Our inspection team
Checks each stage against the drawings and sends you the report before the next payment is due.
- Engr. J.O. Owolabi · Chief inspector
- Arch. E.A. Nwabueze · Adjunct inspector
- Engr. Bello Hasani · Inspector
Option B · Independent of Artemis
An independent firm from our panel
Choose one of three to four outside COREN-registered firms to check the stages you want, for a second opinion that doesn’t work for us.
- Panel firm · being appointed · Structural and concrete works
- Panel firm · being appointed · Building services (electrical and plumbing)
- Panel firm · being appointed · General building and finishes
- Panel firm · being appointed · Quantity surveying and valuations
Firms are named here as each agreement is signed.
Option C · Your choice
Bring your own inspector
Any qualified engineer or surveyor you choose. We give them site access at each stage gate and share the drawings and bill of quantities; their fee is paid by you.
- Your engineer, surveyor or architect
- Site access at every stage gate
- Drawings and BOQ shared with them
Whoever inspects, the rule is the same: no report, no payment. See the stage gates
Stage checks are carried out by our inspection team, led by chief inspector Engr. J.O. Owolabi with Arch. E.A. Nwabueze (adjunct inspector) and Engr. Bello Hasani (inspector). Our job is to report to you, not to your contractor; if we have any connection to your contractor, we tell you in writing before we start.
