Recovering a Distressed Construction Project - Arrow Head Management Services LLC

RECOVERING A DISTRESSED PROJECT

A distressed project needs a fact based recovery plan, not simply a more optimistic programme. The first priority is to establish a trusted view of scope, progress, cost, obligations and immediate constraints.

Stabilise the information

Reconcile physical progress, certified value, commitments, cash flow, procurement and programme status. Identify where reports disagree and create a single control date.

Diagnose the constraints

Design and approval bottlenecks.
Access and interface restrictions.
Labour, productivity or supervision issues.
Long-lead procurement and supplier performance.
Unresolved change, claims and payment pressure.

Build a credible recovery plan

Recovery options should be tested for sequence, resources, cost, safety and contractual consequences. Acceleration is not automatically the answer; removing constraints or resequencing may produce better results.

Govern the turnaround

Actions need accountable owners, short reporting cycles and measurable outcomes. Forecasts should distinguish the approved baseline from the recovery target.

AHMS provides independent project reviews, recovery planning and integrated commercial control to help stakeholders stabilise distressed UAE and GCC projects and make defensible decisions under pressure.
