What is a project review? is 

A project review is an independent evaluation of your construction project. It provides an objective, factual and accurate assessment of all operational aspects of a project. It gives you top-level, end-to-end oversight to enable informed decision making. Getting an impartial and independent perspective helps you to minimise risk and ensure your projects are delivered on time and within budget.

Creating process improvements

Working together we define your optimum processes. Identifying key milestones and activities, we allocate roles and responsibilities in line with competencies. Avoiding gaps and preventing duplication of resource means that projects can be managed more effectively and in keeping with current legislation. The output is a streamlined system that, applied consistently, brings better results and enables the business to scale.

A Three Phase Process

CC_BSA Image IMG_2072-1

Phase One: Listening

During this first phase, we’ll listen, chat and work with members of the team. 

Our aim is to understand your team’s relationships, clarify roles and responsibilities. We can then establish clear channels of communication amongst stakeholders, contractors and throughout the supply chain.

Key questions:

  • Which team members are included in coordination events, meetings, inspections and client communications?
  • How do the current relationships impact project performance and stakeholder relationships?
  • What are the lines of communication?
  • What does the delivery team understand of the subcontractor’s scope of work, attendance and progress status?

Phase Two: Evaluation 

During this phase, we will assess:

  • Health and Safety Performance
  • Procurement
  • Progamme and progress
  • Design Management
  • Best Practice
  • Performance against deliverables

This is not just about documentation. Our approach is to get out on site and talk to managers, subcontractor supervisors and operatives to get their perspective on progress, challenges and successes.

Key questions:

Health and Safety Performance: Has the statutory documentation been completed satisfactorily? How well do subcontractor submissions reflect site constraints, responsible parties, and programme logic? Who is responsible for managing the distribution of information through forward planning?

Design Management: How are the design elements being managed? What processes, controls and gateways are being applied to ensure successful and timely completion?

Procurement: What is the secured procurement status? What is the process for new procurement? Do the subcontractor start dates relate to the current programme? Are sufficient lead-in times allocated and identified? Does the procurement plan specify design responsibilities and coordinate subcontractors?

Applying Best Practice: Does the team employ best practices in managing the work and interacting with stakeholders? What impression does the project give of the company's reputation? What considerations does the team make regarding quality?

Performance Against Deliverables: How is the project team being supported to realise the technical, social, or practical tender deliverables? Have the commitments made during the tender period been recognised? Has the pre-construction team communicated these clearly to the delivery team for implementation?          

Programme and Progress: Does the programme content reflect the actual scope of the project? Is it logical? Is the recorded progress to date an accurate reflection of completed works on site?

Phase Three: Action Plans

In phase one and two we gather all the relevant data to provide an independent view of status and performance. In phase three we combine everything to create a proactive action plan for implementation.

Key outcomes:

Summary of Findings – We prioritise the findings based on facts, to define areas of performance that need redirection, clarity or further investigation.  

Recommendations – Based on the observations in the report, we provide clear and concise recommendations. These are direct and specific to the status and challenges and provide a clear objective structure for consideration by the team.

Action Plan – We will tailor a cohesive action plan for you, allocating priority tasks to the most appropriate individuals and identify timescales for implementation.

Team Debrief – Once the plan has been established and shared, it’s time for a debrief. We will attend a meeting with the team to discuss the content and plan for implementation.
