Project Rescue

There are a number of reasons that projects don’t go to plan. Economic recessions, insolvencies, loan defaults and poor management can all have a negative impact on your projects and investments. These issues can quickly escalate and as a project sponsor, you can find yourself with escalating costs, decreasing revenues, disputes and a damaged reputation.

Understanding what to do in these circumstances is crucial to rescuing a project. At Vercity, we can assess your project and evaluate how cost-effective intervention would be. In such cases, it’s important to be sure that spending more money on external support will be effective and to know what that support should look like.

Rapid project assessment

The first thing Vercity will do when considering a project rescue is carry out an assessment of your project and associated project vehicles. In evaluating how the project is progressing in a wider context, we can gather data and develop a structured plan.

In analysing the information, we can assess the critical components of the project, such as budget, project plan, resource planning and scope definition.

Whether your project is failing due to supplier under performance, construction issues, or general mismanagement, at Vercity, we avoid a blame culture. By eliminating commercial barriers and posturing, we can identify the root cause of an issue and recommend the most effective remedial action.
