What is Project Monitoring and what is it used for?
Definition: external and independent monitoring of project progress
The Project Monitoring is an external, technical and financial service that independently supervises the progress of a real estate development, ensuring its successful completion and risk prevention. For this purpose, technical, economic and administrative monitoring is carried out, with periodic reporting which compares actual progress with the approved feasibility plan.
Applications: real estate development, logistics assets, unique developments, hotels, etc.
The Project Monitoring service is applied in many areas of the real estate sector, from residential developments and logistics assets to unique developments such as hotels and complex projects, ensuring that deadlines, costs, quality and regulations are met.
Stakeholders involved: funds, financial institutions, developers, investors
It is designed to protect the interests of financial institutions, investment funds, developers and investors. Project Monitoring acts as a link between the different project agents (builder, developer, financier), aligning their objectives by means of regular technical and economic reports.
