The challenge
Nine months into construction, the project was in trouble. Investors lacked clear visibility on progress, costs were escalating beyond budget, and the main contractor's schedule was unreliable. The project was becoming a "black box" and the investment was at significant risk.
Our solution
Rapid deployment
Regional Energy was engaged to establish a full Project Management Office acting as the investor's representative.
Blended team
An expatriate PMO Director with extensive data centre experience, sourced through Leap29, supported by our local Project Planner and Cost Engineer.
Governance framework
Weekly progress reporting, cost tracking and risk management processes were put in place immediately.
Re-baselining
The schedule was rebuilt in Primavera P6 as a reliable baseline, and a full cost audit identified the sources of overrun.
The result
Clarity
Full project visibility within 30 days, with the first dashboard report presented to investors.
Control
A potential 12% budget overrun was identified and brought back within a 3% variance.
Confidence
Investors regained confidence, citing the "transparency and control" the PMO brought.
“Transparency and control”
