The flagship product

Ten days on site. One written answer.

A fixed-scope, fixed-fee independent assessment of whether the work is ready, whether the people can do it, and whether the plan will hold. Used before mobilization and on projects that are behind.

Is the work ready?

Work packages, drawings, materials, permits, access, and tools, sampled and scored go/no-go.

Can the people do it?

Craft capability observed by trade, supervision ratios, decision rights, and contract-awareness of site leadership.

Will the plan hold?

Schedule realism, float health, critical path, and the commissioning sequence the schedule assumes.

What we measure

  • Schedule realism and float health
  • Work-package readiness, 20 to 30 packages sampled
  • Material and procurement readiness against need dates
  • Craft capability by trade, observed not interviewed
  • Supervision ratios and decision rights
  • Contract-awareness of site leadership
  • Commissioning and turnover sequence
  • Recovery options with dates and cost ranges

Fixed scope and fixed fee, confirmed in writing before work begins. Travel at cost. No success fees.

Independent review is standard on public megaprojects. Private capital rarely gets it.

Government programs require external independent reviews before major commitments because self-reporting fails under pressure. The assessment brings the same discipline to private projects, delivered by someone who has run the work, at a fraction of program cost.
