Services

Providing an independent scorecard.

About the auditing services

My experience has taught me that the deadly project sins that derail a project come from every level of a project at any stage. Put simply, the project is only as healthy as the weakest link. Thus, the right high-performance leaders, people and teams are in place across the project and applying proven routines and practices.

This is where my auditing services apply.

I provide an independent audit through a set of senses that knows what great looks and feels like for each of the key project objectives.

  • No harm – everyone is home safe every day
  • Delivery and record of construction to the specified quality standards
  • Maintaining and managing a live schedule as the key planning tool
  • Cost management and implementation of cost controls to manage and report on change in real time
  • Respectful contractual relationship

The audits provide a report on performance and gaps. An extension to the audit function is an analysis of the issues and gaps and report of recommended actions.
