Your independent authority on site while you run the business from somewhere else. We represent you, and only you, from pre-construction to the end of the defects period.
Between your brief and a finished building sit hundreds of decisions on cost, programme, quality and change. The contractor makes them with more information than you have. Reports arrive late and optimistic. By the time a problem reaches you, it has usually been priced in.
Endira sits on your side of that gap. We carry your brief into every meeting, site visit and change request, and tell you what is actually happening: early, plainly, and with a recommendation.
The standard comes from fifteen years delivering high-value residential schemes in central London, where programme and cost discipline are not optional.
All three include continuous budget tracking, monthly reporting, and a live risk and issue escalation log. The differences are site presence, contractual authority, and the depth of pre-construction and close-out involvement.
Choose this if you trust your builder and your team, and want a senior, independent read on cost, programme and progress every month.
0.5 – 1.0%
Choose this if you want gates on spending, change and programme, and someone chairing the site meetings on your behalf.
1.5 – 2.5%
Choose this if you are running the project from Calgary or Vancouver and need someone with authority to act for you, every week.
3.0 – 5.0%
Fees are set as a percentage of agreed construction value at engagement, then billed as a fixed monthly retainer for the life of the project. Not hourly. You know the cost from day one, and you are never billed twice for the same conversation.
For projects under $5M CAD, a fixed-fee structure scaled to scope is more sensible than a percentage. For projects over $30M, the percentage decreases as construction value rises. Both are agreed at engagement.
We do not build, we do not design, and we do not hold trade contracts. We are not construction managers. We are engaged by you and paid by you, and nobody else on the project pays us anything.
A 30–45 minute call at no cost. We listen to what you're building, where you are in the cycle, and what's worrying you.
We send a one- to two-page memo proposing a tier, a scope, and a fee. No long-form proposal documents.
A short CCDC 31-based letter or a fixed-scope contract for engagements outside CCDC. Signed in days, not weeks.
We are on site within two weeks of signature.
A first call is free. We’ll talk through the project and tell you honestly whether independent representation makes sense for it.
