For owners who've never built before and want a discreet, knowledgeable hand from before planning is even submitted. Pre-planning feasibility, contractor shortlisting, design reviews and independent site inspections, outside the politics of any one consultant or builder.
Scope scales with the project, but these four areas are the spine of any private client service engagement with Jigsaw.
Sketch-stage advice on whether your plot or project is buildable, fundable and likely to get consent, before you commit to professional fees.
Independent review of architect drawings and contractor quotes. We'll tell you where the costs are likely to drift and what the risk-hot-spots are.
Booked visits during a build that you're managing yourself, with a written report on quality, programme and any concerns raised.
End-of-project snagging walks with a written list, photographed, prioritised and revisited until everything is closed out.
Yes. Most private client appointments are exactly this: the client has a builder, but wants someone independent watching the build for them. We work behind the scenes.
Typically a day rate or a fixed-price block of inspection visits. Much less than full project management fees, suited to clients who want assurance rather than full delivery.
Usually yes. It's healthier all round if everyone knows the inspection arrangement. We don't do covert work.
Jigsaw covers the towns and villages of East Devon as a matter of course. Travel beyond on negotiation.
A quick chat with Paul is usually enough to establish whether your project is a good fit for Jigsaw. No detail is too small.
