Your project is moving faster than your governance.

Every missed payment notice. Every forecast rebuilt the night before a board meeting. Every cost plan sent by email with no audit trail. This is the default for most client-side teams.

Data Risk

The Same Data in Five Spreadsheets

  • The programme tracker.
  • The cost plan.
  • The risk register.
  • The monthly report.

Each one needs the same data, updated again and again. Your team spends hours maintaining spreadsheets instead of analysing the project.

Sound familiar?

Drawdown Risk

The Drawdown Position You Had to Rebuild

Your funder's quarterly call is in two hours. The drawdown schedule is in a spreadsheet last saved by someone who left the project six months ago.

Sound familiar?

Governance Risk

The Risk Register Nobody Owns

You have a risk register. It was last updated in RIBA Stage 3. You are now in Stage 5. Three risks have crystallised.

Sound familiar?

Platform

Structured governance from day one of the contract.

Executive Summary
The project continues to progress broadly in line with programme. Ground-floor slab to Block B was poured on 12 March and passed structural inspection. The contractor has flagged a potential 10-week overrun on the MEP package due to procurement delays on the ASHP units - a formal Early Warning Notice has been received and risk RISK-08 has been updated accordingly. The forecast final account position has moved to £44.1m (+£2.1m), principally driven by the geotechnical variation and the approved Employer's Instruction for the cycle store redesign. The funder's independent surveyor reviewed the project on 8 March and no issues were raised. Next drawdown is scheduled for 22 April 2026.
