FAQ
Progress payment questions.
Does SafeOps Group approve the payment?
No. SafeOps Group provides independent visual reporting to support the client's review. Payment decisions remain with the client, lender or relevant decision maker.
Can you inspect hidden or concealed works?
No. Standard inspections are visual and non-invasive unless a broader scope is agreed in writing.
What if the scope is commercial?
Commercial progress payment verification must use Quick Quote or Proposal because site size, documentation, access and reporting depth vary.
