Dates are slipping and the explanations do not reconcile
Every party names a different cause and no consolidated picture exists.

In substance
What this service is
The audit is INVECON's entry product. In 3–5 weeks we give the investor what they usually lack: an independent, documented picture of project status that does not depend on the participants' reporting. On that basis the client decides whether to continue, reinforce specific functions, or move to recovery management.
When you need this service
The budget is growing for no clear reason
Additional works and cost increases appear continuously and there is no final cost forecast.
The investor does not trust the reporting
Status comes from the parties accountable for it, with no independent verification.
A change of manager or contractor is being considered
The factual position — quantities, money, contracts, quality — must be established first.
An entry into or acquisition of the project is planned
Real status and risk must be assessed before the investment decision.
A lender requires an independent assessment
The bank needs an opinion from a party with no role in delivery.
What we do
Schedule analysis and date forecast
Schedule quality assessed, actual status reconstructed, critical path calculated and a defensible completion date produced.
Budget analysis and cost forecast
Plan, actual and committed cost reconciled, outstanding quantities assessed, Cost to Complete and final cost forecast calculated.
Technical review of design and estimates
Documentation completeness and quality checked; solutions likely to cause cost growth or rework identified.
Contract review
With First in Law we analyse the contract structure: risk allocation, liability mechanisms and grounds for claims.
Sample quality checks on site
Sample verification of executed works, quantities and the state of site records.
Stabilisation roadmap
A priority action list with assessed benefit, owners and dates.

Client outcomes
Certainty instead of versions
One verifiable picture replaces a set of contradictory explanations.
A basis for a management decision
Continue, reinforce, or move to recovery — the decision rests on calculation.
Fast and fixed-price
3–5 weeks at a known cost: the audit does not become open-ended consulting.
An immediately usable plan
The roadmap contains actions for the coming weeks, not general recommendations.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Not answered here? Write to us and we will respond on your case.
3–5 weeks, depending on asset scale, the number of contracts, documentation availability and whether on-site quality verification is required.
The schedule and budget in whatever form they exist, design and construction contracts, payment certificates, design documentation, project reporting and site access. Missing documents are themselves a diagnostic finding.
Both formats are possible. An open audit is more effective because it grants access to data and site. A closed format is used when preparing for a dispute or a change of contractor.
The client takes one of three decisions: continue with the roadmap corrections; buy discrete functions as a Managed Service; or move to Project Recovery or a full Technical Customer contract.
No. The audit is a standalone fixed-price product. The opinion belongs to the client regardless of whether the engagement continues.
