WHY INDEPENDENT OVERSIGHT MATTERS

When control gaps become visible, the consequences can be severe.

Recent Nigerian incidents have involved concerns about materials, approvals, professional oversight, recertification and active-site controls. These source-backed examples explain the problem TAJ is designed to help owners manage earlier.

TAJ does not claim to have investigated these incidents.The cards below summarise what the linked sources reported. Causes differ by case, and final technical conclusions belong to the relevant investigators and regulators.

TAJ'S ROLE

Independent visibility between the drawing and the finished building.

TAJ documents what is visible, identifies open issues and helps owners escalate technical questions to the right professionals before the next stage hides the evidence.

WHERE ARE YOU IN THE PROJECT?

Choose the point where oversight is needed.

TAJ scopes the support around the project stage, the decision you need to make and the evidence that should exist before work moves on.

BEFORE MOBILISATION

Confirm that the project is ready to start.

Review available approvals, drawings, professional roles, site information and outstanding pre-start requirements before money and materials begin moving.

RECOMMENDED SUPPORTPre-construction readiness review
POSSIBLE OUTPUTReadiness checklist and project risk register
Project documents organised for a pre-construction readiness review
CORE PROJECT-ASSURANCE SERVICES

Control the points where information is easiest to lose.

The service model follows the project lifecycle: prepare properly, observe critical stages, document what is visible, escalate what needs specialist attention, and verify close-out.

01

Pre-construction readiness review

Before mobilisation, organise approvals, drawings, project roles, site information and outstanding requirements.

  • Readiness checklist
  • Professional-role register
  • Pre-start risk and information gaps
02

Construction-stage monitoring

Scheduled owner-side visits to document progress, visible workmanship, open actions and questions before the next stage proceeds.

  • Dated photo evidence
  • Progress and action report
  • Follow-up / hold-point list
03

Materials & workmanship control

Structured checks around specified materials, delivered materials, visible workmanship and agreed testing or hold points.

  • Material record checks
  • Pre-cover / pre-pour observations
  • Testing and escalation register
04

Building condition screening

A systematic visual review of accessible areas when cracks, water damage, movement or other concerns need to be organised and prioritised.

  • Photographic defect register
  • Priority-coded observations
  • Specialist escalation where required
05

Handover & defect close-out

Before final acceptance, record incomplete work, snags and defects and track them through verification and close-out.

  • Snag / outstanding-work list
  • Close-out tracker
  • Completion evidence
06

Remote owner project monitoring

Independent site visibility for owners who cannot be physically present at each project stage.

  • Scheduled owner updates
  • Photo / video evidence
  • Decision and action tracker
OWNER-SIDE DELIVERABLES

Evidence should arrive before the decision is due.

Explore illustrative outputs that convert site observations into records an owner can review, share and act on.

PRE-CONSTRUCTION READINESS

HOW TAJ WORKS

Plan. Observe. Record. Escalate.

TAJ provides owner-side visibility and project-control records. Regulated design, testing and certification remain with the appropriately registered professionals responsible for those scopes.

01

Define the decision

Agree the project stage, owner concern, records, access and required output.

02

Set the control points

Identify what should be checked before mobilisation, covering, payment or handover.

03

Capture the evidence

Record accessible visible conditions, progress, materials and open actions.

04

Close or escalate

Track resolution, obtain owner decisions and refer specialist matters when required.

PROFESSIONAL VERIFICATION

Before work begins, know who is responsible.

A readiness review can include collecting the names and registration numbers of professionals proposed for the project and checking them against available official registers. Regulatory status is determined by the relevant council—not by TAJ.
