Our project advisory services are targeted at clients who are investors in, or financiers of projects and need to ensure that the project has been properly prepared and that the scope, time and cost estimates are truly representatives of such projects. We analyse the risks associated with the project and advise on how to mitigate the identified risks. The unit also provides project monitoring and control services for on-going projects for clients who require independed feedback on projects. We periodically evaluate scope, time, cost and quality performance and advise on projection on completion. We assist firms to assess the level of competency of their project management team and what is required to strengthen such as teams as well as set up project management offices of those requiring one. We are also able, through our project management unit, to implement our recommendations directly to arrest projects that are in difficulties.
