Before You Build
Our Services
Before You Build (BYB) offers four technical audit services that protect UK property projects across North Wales from compliance risk, cost overruns and build problems. Each one is impartial, and each is delivered before you appoint anyone, when the findings can still change the outcome.
Our Services
Four Technical Pillars That
Protect Your Project Before You Build
THE LANDLORD SHIELD (Compliance)
Landlord compliance audits keep your rental compliant and better prepared for inspection. We check the certificates, HMO obligations and tenancy documents that most often land landlords with fines, then show you exactly where you are exposed and how to close each gap.
- Gas safety, EICR electrical and EPC certificate checks
- HMO licensing, room sizes, amenities and fire safety
- Tenancy agreements verified as valid and enforceable
DESIGN MANAGEMENT & FEASIBILITY
Design feasibility reviews confirm your plans work in the real world. A drawing that looks impressive can still be slow, awkward and expensive to build, so we test buildability and cost realism before the design locks your budget in.
- Buildability and construction-detail checks
- Value engineering to protect your margin
- Feasibility measured against your yield or intended use
QUOTE & SCHEDULE AUDIT
Builder quote reviews expose the hidden costs before you sign. We take the quote and schedule of works apart line by line and tell you plainly what is missing, what is vague, and what is likely to return later as an extra.
- Hidden costs, exclusions and small-print omissions
- Provisional sums and vague allowances challenged
- Like-for-like comparison across competing quotes
STRATEGIC PROJECT OVERSIGHT
Construction project oversight keeps the build honest from first fix to handover. Acting as your clerk of works on site, we check that what was promised is what actually gets built, and we flag problems while they are still quick and simple to fix.
- Regular on-site inspections
- Quality and building-regs checks as work happens
- Clear progress reports and early problem flags
Don’t Start Your Project Without Technical Verification
We identify the hidden costs, specification gaps, and pricing oversights that lead to expensive mid-build variation traps.
