The project monitoring services of VAS Panel and VAS Audit are designed for both land and buildings, ranging from a simple new build property to a multi-phase site, and can be fine-tuned to meet the demands of any lenders and brokers.
Stephen Todd, CCO and co-founder of VAS Group (pictured above), said: “2021 was a landmark year for our project monitoring divisions, whereby we have reached a level of work that clearly shows we are trusted by lenders to support their development portfolios.
“As property development undoubtedly grows further in 2022, our hand-picked selection of nationwide monitoring surveying firms on VAS Panel will be able to assist in monitoring all development sectors and sizes.
“VAS Audit in particular will safeguard clients through independent auditing to provide greater confidence in their own monitoring reports in a sector that is undoubtedly higher risk, especially with increasing costs of materials, providing an additional layer of security to support underwriting and credit decisions.”
