Independent Design Audit

Reduce design risk before it becomes construction risk.

"Harrington's Design Audit is an independent technical assurance service that provides an objective review of your project's design before construction begins. Our role is to verify that the design is compliant, coordinated, buildable, and aligned with your project objectives while identifying technical, commercial, and delivery risks at an early stage. We don't replace your design consultant, we provide an independent assessment that gives you confidence in the design and helps prevent costly changes, delays, and quality issues during construction. At the end of the audit, you receive a comprehensive report with prioritized findings, practical recommendations, and a clear action plan to support informed decision-making."

This includes:

  • Design quality and compliance review

  • Design coordination review

  • Constructibility review

  • Value engineering opportunities

  • Project governance assessment

  • Authority readiness assessment

  • Design risk & quality assessment

  • Consultant performance evaluation (design phase)

  • Executive reporting and recommendations
