Margin Recover
For projects that are active but underperforming, we identify exactly where margin is being lost and build a practical recovery plan — covering cost control, resequencing impact, and commercial recovery routes available under the contract.
A project can stay busy while becoming quietly less profitable. Margin erosion rarely comes from one event — it builds through resequencing, delayed approvals, design changes and extended preliminaries until the numbers no longer match expectations. Margin Recover exists to find that erosion early, while there is still time to act, rather than at final account when the position is fixed.
We work through the project alongside your commercial and delivery teams, examining the areas where margin is most commonly lost
- Cost-to-complete versus original forecast
- Programme slippage and resequencing impact
- Recoverable change not yet captured or claimed
- Cash position and payment performance against the contract
We translate the findings into a clear, ranked recovery plan, setting out what can be recovered, how, and in what order — so your team is acting on priorities, not a list of problems.
The outcome is a project back under commercial control
