The engagement
What the work
can involve.
We tailor the scope to the decision you need to make, the available information and the project stage.

- 01
Define earthwork geometry, foundation preparation, fill suitability and construction sequencing.
- 02
Prepare or review specifications, inspection and test plans, hold points and quality records.
- 03
Review monitoring trends and construction departures against the agreed design intent.
- 04
Investigate observed distress or performance concerns and define further evidence needed before recommending action.
Agreeing responsibilities
The engagement confirms the delivery team, professional responsibilities, required registrations, approvals, insurance and review arrangements before work begins.
The output
Defined work.
Useful deliverables.
- Earthworks scope, design inputs and construction interfaces
- A record of identified issues and supporting evidence
- Prioritised actions, further investigation and review requirements
What to bring to the first discussion
Survey surfaces, specifications, construction records, monitoring information and the issue history.
You can start with an outline of the information you have. We will agree the document list and transfer method before you send confidential material.
Working together
A scope you can review.
The proposal identifies tasks, deliverables, inputs, dependencies, exclusions and pricing. Open questions remain visible so the next decision is informed.
