05 · Independent Integrated Review

A second opinion, from three partners at once.

Before you commit another Rand, know exactly what you're dealing with. The Independent Integrated Review gives you an independent, evidence based view of your project, from a team with no stake in the outcome.

NEXT Group is not appointed to replace your team. We are engaged as an independent third party to confirm what is actually happening on your project, and to give you a clear, evidence based view before a decision is made or a problem becomes expensive.

What Sets An IIR Apart

Three partners. One project.
At the same time.

Most independent reviews in this market come from one person, with one professional lens, looking at one part of your project. An IIR is delivered by all three NEXT Group partners at once, on the same project.

JAMES

Architecture & Design

Reviews architecture and design alignment: is the design still true to the brief, and to what can actually be built?

CHRIS

Technical & Buildability

Reviews technical resolution and buildability: does the documentation hold up once it meets a site and a contractor?

MARTIN

Cost & Commercial

Reviews cost and commercial assumptions: where the numbers came from, and whether they still hold.

An IIR is never delivered by a team already appointed to the project under review.
That independence holds at every scale.

Scoped to project complexity

Every review, at every value band, is delivered by all three partners. The band reflects the scale and complexity of your project. It is not a measure of how thorough the review is.

How It Works
01

Scoping Review

A fixed fee, fixed duration diagnostic of what's available and what's actually going on. If you instruct us to proceed within 14 days, the full fee is credited against your capped review.

02

Capped Review

Once scope is confirmed, we agree a fixed, capped fee in writing before work begins. If new information expands the scope, we agree a variation with you in writing before continuing.

03

Findings & Recommendations

A written report, with findings and recommendations kept clearly distinct. A verbal walkthrough is available on request.

What An IIR Does Not Do

An IIR is provided for the stated purpose only, based on the documents and information made available at the time of review. It reflects NEXT Group's professional opinion and does not constitute a guarantee of outcome, a legal opinion, or a substitute for your own legal, financial or professional advice.
