Construction Monitoring & Monthly Reporting

Regular site inspections and progress reporting to provide lenders and developers with early warning of risks and verified progress. Where risks are identified, Primus will recommend mitigation strategies, propose practical solutions to minimise exposure, and, where required, step in to resolve issues directly. Reporting covers but is not limited to:

• A monthly assessment of the development’s progress against the approved construction program. This enables lenders, developers and stakeholders to better understand project timelines and anticipated return of funds.

• Monthly inspections to identify any non-compliant construction works or safety practices that could materially impact the development and pose a significant financial risk to lenders and developers.

• Where non-compliant works, safety issues, or other risks are identified, Primus will provide clear recommendations and solutions to rectify issues and mitigate potential risks. Where required, will set up and close out works to ensure construction resumes.

• Construction quality and workmanship oversight, including pre-OC and post-OC defects

• Verification of progress against drawdown schedules.

• Oversight of development measures, such as planning portal, development associated documents, council approvals, development modifications, certifier checklists, DA analysation, ensuring regulations are complied with.

• Stakeholders, including consultants, contractors, clients, and specialists.

Key benefits:

• Continuous oversight of funded projects.

• Early warning of issues before they occur.

• Confidence that works completed align with loan release conditions and developer’s contractual obligations.

Pre‑Funding Construction Risk Assessments

Primus Construct undertakes comprehensive assessments of proposed developments, evaluating construction feasibility, program, budget, and key delivery risks. These assessments provide lenders, with independent advice on viability and risk mitigation measures prior to capital commitment and financial decision making. This includes but is not limited to:

• Detailed review of design documentation, program logic, estimated costs, procurement strategy, and structural requirements to identify potential risks and pressure points.

• Evaluation of constructability, coordination between trades, compliance exposures, sequencing challenges, and contractor capacity to determine areas of vulnerability.

• Provision of structured mitigation strategies and actionable recommendations, allowing stakeholders to optimise project delivery methods, refine designs, or adjust procurement approaches before construction begins.

• Reporting that is detailed, clear, and reliable, supporting funding decisions, contractor negotiations, and internal governance processes.
