Project Health Checks Before It Becomes a Dispute—Detect It, Quantify It, Resolve It

In construction, crises rarely happen overnight. The warning signs are always there—buried in progress reports, hidden in shop drawing revisions, or lost in coordination delays. What’s missing is a clear system for interpreting those signals early. That’s where Project Health Checks come in.

 

At PAR Advisory, we help clients uncover risk, delay, and cost exposure before they escalate into formal disputes. We don’t wait for problems to mature—we help you prevent them from happening at all.

 


Why Project Health Checks Matter

 

Owners, contractors, and financiers alike benefit from having an independent lens on the project’s progress and risk profile. Internal teams are often too close to the day-to-day to spot systemic issues—or too stretched to challenge embedded assumptions.

 

A Health Check offers a structured review of:

1. Risk – from unresolved RFIs to third-party delays and design changes

2. Time – through actual progress analysis and logic validation

3. Cost – via early identification of scope creep, resource overloads, and variation trends

 

It’s not about reporting what the team already knows. It’s about uncovering what hasn’t yet been recognized.



Our Approach to Health Checks


Our review process is efficient, non-intrusive, and aligned with best practices in delay and risk management. We typically:


• Examine the latest programme, progress data, and contract documents

• Interview key project stakeholders to understand challenges on the ground

• Review change orders, shop drawing revisions, and scope creep

• Assess whether mitigation strategies are feasible and properly tracked

 

Deliver a clear, actionable report with risk ranking, impact estimates, and recommendations

 

We tailor our reporting style to your audience—be it senior management, banks, or internal legal teams.



Typical Findings from Our Reviews

 

• Delays hidden in programmes that appear ‘on track’

• Design risks buried in shop drawings comments rather than VO registers

• Productivity inefficiencies due to delayed shop drawings and material approvals

• Risk of future claims due to undocumented delays or insufficient notices

 

We don’t just tell you there’s a fire—we show you where it started, how fast it’s spreading, and what to do next.



Know Where You Stand—Before It Costs You

 

A Project Health Check could be the difference between a recoverable delay and an expensive dispute. Whether you’re financing a project or managing one, we’ll help you see what’s coming—so you can act early and decisively.
