Project in trouble

Bringing a troubled project back under control.

First we establish where the project actually stands, then we set out a workable recovery plan with clear roles and decisions. No outcome promised upfront: we assess the case and say what is realistic.

Typical situations

  • Delays built up against the schedule
  • Cost overruns emerging during the works
  • Suppliers and contractors misaligned with each other
  • Missing technical or administrative documentation
  • Variations decided without traceability
  • Blurred responsibilities across the parties involved
How we proceed

Four steps, in this order.

01

Picture of the current state

Collection of contracts, bids, documents, correspondence and the actual state of the site.

02

Map of critical points and responsibilities

What happened, who decides what, which issues are open and with what impact.

03

Realistic recovery plan

Priorities, sequence of works, decisions required and their effect on cost and time.

04

Operational oversight if needed

On request, we follow the delivery of the plan with Project Office governance.

Timescales depend on the scope and on the material available.
