Deloitte UK, Real estate, Independent commercial review

As a developer, sponsor, funder or contractor you have a significant investment in projects or businesses in the construction or house building sectors, but how confident are you that things are going as planned, how can you identify any risks or opportunities and how do you consider what corrective action should be taken?

Are the basic building blocks in place?
Capital investment in construction and house building is never straightforward and no two projects are identical. This complexity can leave the commercial and programme position stretched and an understanding of the true ‘out-turn’ position can be challenging.

Our experience shows that many of these issues can either be overlooked or only superficially addressed which does not consider either project specifics or wider business issues.

A lack of project oversight can have a negative impact on a project’s final commercial outturn. Increasingly, project owners and contractors are looking beyond traditional technical activities to get independent commercial oversight and governance. Our specialist Construction Advisory team can offer such commercial oversight at both business and contract levels.
