WHAT WE DO

Four services. One standard of evidence.

Full service scope →
HOW AN INSPECTION RUNS

A chain of hold points, each one signed and kept.

Concrete hides its mistakes the moment it is placed. Our inspections are built around the points where the evidence is still visible.

01

Set the standard

Drawings, specification and ITP reviewed. Hold points, tolerances and checklists agreed before work starts.

02

Inspect before the pour

Reinforcement, cover, laps, formwork, setting out, embedments and joints — checked and released, or held.

03

Witness the pour

Delivery tickets, placement, compaction, finishing and curing observed. Test samples taken and traced.

04

Close out the record

Non-conformances closed with evidence. Records packaged for handover, warranty and the golden thread.

BUILDING SAFETY ACT

The record is the deliverable.

On higher-risk buildings, Gateway 3 asks you to show the building was constructed as designed. That evidence is built up inspection by inspection over the life of the job — it cannot be assembled at completion. We make sure it exists, in order, when it is asked for.

WHY INDEPENDENT

Independent of the contractor whose work we inspect.

A contractor's own QA is essential — but it checks its own work against its own programme. We check the same works against your specification, with nothing riding on whether they pass.

And we hold ourselves to a simple rule: we never inspect work we have a commercial interest in, and we declare any connection before we're appointed.
