Keeping documentation ‘audit-ready’ is mostly about structure, not volume. A clear approach to organising approvals, consultant outputs and key correspondence makes it easier to manage delivery and respond quickly to stakeholder requests.

Separating drafts from issued information is a simple but important discipline. It helps ensure the team is working from the correct package and avoids confusion when drawings and specifications are updated.

Decision-making also benefits from a lightweight decision log. Capturing what was agreed, when and why helps maintain continuity when teams change and provides context for later stages of the project.

Finally, consistent progress records support transparency. Periodic progress photos and short updates create a clear narrative of ongoing activity and provide helpful evidence of delivery and operations.

Developer perspective: tidy documentation reduces friction across procurement, delivery and later transactions. It supports confidence and makes coordination materially easier.
