Nothing mobilises until the gate says so
Green Light is the pre-mobilisation QA gate. Fifty-two checks across six domains, from document completeness to financial baseline, each with a single owner. The gate does not create work; it catches the work that was quietly incomplete. Northgate Chambers passed 52 of 52 with zero blockers.

Fifty-two checks, six domains, zero blockers
Green Light is the pre-mobilisation QA gate. It does not create work; it catches the work that was quietly incomplete before the site team inherits it. Fifty-two checks run across six domains, each with a single named owner, and mobilisation is authorised only when every check passes. Northgate Chambers passed 52 of 52 with zero blockers.
Six deliverables, statuses recorded
Six client deliverables are listed for handover. The status table records three as Issued, one as Signed off, one as Returned and one as Priced; it does not assert a sign-off for every row.
| Ref | Deliverable | Issued | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| NG-PS-001 | Project Specification, Rev 1 | Fri 22 May | Issued |
| NG-DSW-001 | Detailed Scope of Works, Rev 2 | Sat 6 Jun | Issued |
| NG-DI-001 | Design Intent, Rev 1 | Fri 22 May | Signed off |
| NG-SEP-09 | Supplier Enquiry Pack, WP-09 | w/c 25 May | Returned |
| NG-UPB-001 | Unpriced Bill of Quantities, Rev 1 | Fri 22 May | Priced |
| NG-PDP-001 | Project Delivery Plan, Rev 1 | Fri 19 Jun | Issued |
A clean baseline for Margin Cockpit
The gate hands the Margin Cockpit a financial baseline that reconciles end to end. The contract sum of £1,418,650 is fully accounted: £1,229,000 of trade committed, £28,350 held in contingency, and £161,300 of prelims and project costs fixed. Four performance bonds at 10% are received, and the sectional liquidated-damages exposure is recorded so it can be tracked from day one of delivery.
| Baseline item | Position |
|---|---|
| Contract sum, excl VAT | £1,418,650 |
| Trade committed | £1,229,000 |
| Held in contingency, CSR-001 | £28,350 |
| Prelims and project costs | £161,300 |
| Sectional LD exposure | £8,500 per day, cap £70,932.50 |
| Target margin, inherited | 8.2% |
| Margin at handover | 10.3% |
Risks closed or owned, pack handed over
Of the eleven risks opened at award, five are closed inside Pre-Con and six transfer to delivery in the Project Delivery Plan, each with an owner and a mitigation carried across. The 14-week programme, NG-PRG-003, is issued with the three sectional dates confirmed, and the pack is signed over to the site team.
| Ref | Risk transferred to delivery | Carried as | Owner |
|---|---|---|---|
| R-01 | Joinery long-lead versus programme | Ordered, factory pre-fit, one-week buffer | S. Okafor |
| R-03 | Landlord CHW capacity confirmation | Letter of comfort held, fallback cooling | A. Pereira |
| R-05 | Sectional LD exposure | Float protected, dates tracked weekly | R. Ashby |
| R-07 | Noise to occupied floors L1 to L3 | Hours enforced, 48-hour notice | D. Marchetti |
| R-09 | Raised floor replacement rate | Survey at 13%, 2% contingency held | R. Ashby |
| R-11 | AV integration with tenant network | Platform confirmed, direct switching excluded | A. Pereira |
Five of the eleven risks opened at award are closed inside Pre-Con; the six above transfer to delivery with the mitigation carried across rather than restated. Each has a single named owner on the site team, so nothing opened at award is handed over without one, and the Project Delivery Plan reopens this list on day one of the build.
The Pre-Con pack is handed to delivery with every document traced, every order placed or ring-fenced, and the financial baseline clean. What the Margin Cockpit, the Commercial Control Kit and the Dispatch Desk read downstream all starts here, at the gate.
