NAME OF PROJECT IN IMAGESolution Driven through Construction Stage
Kent Construction Consultants provide Independent Monitoring Surveyor (IMS) services regulated by the RICS, offering lenders and funders trusted oversight throughout the construction phase. Acting as an independent liaison between borrower and lender, we deliver structured monitoring that ensures financial transparency, risk mitigation, and contractual compliance.
At the outset, we agree with both borrower and lender on key drawdown timelines and establish a project diary outlining monthly meetings, site visits, and reporting milestones. We define the format of the monthly progress reports and drawdown certificates and confirm the pre-visit documentation required from the borrower.
Each month, we review the submitted information, attend site to inspect works and meet with the project team, and verify progress through photographic records and physical checks. We assess actual and cumulative spend against budget forecasts and determine the eligible drawdown amount. This is followed by the preparation of a drawdown certificate and a detailed progress report for the lender, highlighting progress, risks, and cost performance.
Throughout, we maintain open communication with the lender to advise on emerging risks and ensure that the project remains aligned with agreed financial and delivery expectations.
Understanding Funding Models and Lending Constraints
At Kent Construction Consultants, we understand that every development is underpinned by a carefully structured funding model, balancing risk, return, and deliverability. With extensive experience acting for both private and public sector clients, lenders, and funding institutions, we are uniquely positioned to support developments from financial inception through to final completion.
Our team of Chartered Quantity Surveyors and Project Managers bring a detailed understanding of how different funding models, such as senior debt, mezzanine finance, equity investment, and joint venture structures, interact with procurement strategies, construction contracts, and delivery timelines. This knowledge allows us to align project execution with lender requirements, ensuring financial compliance, risk management, and contract certainty from the outset.
We are well-versed in the funding process, including the preparation of development appraisals, cash flow forecasting, and financial viability assessments that satisfy both internal stakeholders and external funders. As RICS-regulated professionals, we frequently act as Independent Monitoring Surveyors, bridging the gap between borrower and lender by providing transparent reporting, technical due diligence, and ongoing risk assessments throughout the lifecycle of the loan facility.
Whether it’s supporting a housing association seeking Homes England funding, a developer working with institutional lenders, or a private investor structuring a complex funding stack, Kent Construction Consultants provide intelligent, commercially focused advice to safeguard both project performance and financial outcomes. We understand that development funding is more than just numbers, it’s about trust, governance, and control. That’s why our clients rely on us to manage risk, uphold compliance, and deliver certainty every step of the way.
