The brief
A complex problem,
made actionable.
The property contained repeated and systemic issues across warehouse, office and external areas. The assessment needed to distinguish isolated defects from area-wide treatment, link each requirement to the lease position and avoid duplicated or contradictory scopes across the final schedule.
RealBuilt’s role

What mattered
The issues behind
the headline.
Several reinstatement and redecoration obligations required clearer separation.
Evidence and completion criteria were essential to prevent scope ambiguity.
Our response
Structure first.
Then momentum.
Map the lease position
Connected observed issues to the relevant obligations without overcomplicating the client-facing framework.
Treat systemic issues once
Used representative evidence and area-wide work packages to remove duplication and scope conflict.
Define what completion means
Set practical scope, records, specialist evidence and close-out requirements for each item.
The deliverables
Technical substance,
clearly packaged.
The resulting report provided a clearer basis for negotiation and delivery, with systematic treatment of repeated issues and a schedule structured around accountable close-out.
