See the risk before it reaches your balance sheet.

Schedule, cost, risk and change control that gives owners, boards and lenders an honest picture of the project while there is still time to act on it.

Why it matters

Projects rarely fail suddenly. They fail slowly, in reports nobody challenged.

A schedule that is technically “on track” while float disappears, a cost forecast that assumes every claim will be rejected, a risk register nobody has updated since award: these are the early signals of trouble. We set up controls that surface them, and we read them with the eye of someone who has run the site as well as the spreadsheet.

The result is reporting that a board, an investment committee or a lender can rely on, and decisions taken while they are still cheap.

What you get

  • Programme and schedule review, including critical-path and float analysis
  • Cost management, forecasting and cash-flow projections
  • Risk identification, quantification and mitigation planning
  • Change and variation control
  • Earned-value and progress reporting
  • Independent monitoring for lenders and investors
  • Recovery and re-baselining plans
  • Controls set-up for new projects and PMOs

Typical situations

When the numbers need a second opinion.

Lender

You are financing a project and want eyes on site.

Independent monthly monitoring of progress, cost to complete and risk, written for credit committees rather than engineers.

Owner

Every report says green, and the site says otherwise.

A short, independent health check of programme, cost and risk, followed by controls the team can actually maintain.

Contractor

You need a defensible recovery plan.

Re-sequencing, resource loading and a re-baselined programme you can present to the client with confidence.

Want an honest picture of where your project really stands?

An independent health check takes days, not months, and pays for itself in the first decision it changes.
