Project Development & Execution
Project Management Consultancy
Independent project planning, scheduling, cost control, quality assurance and contractor coordination from conception to commissioning and handover.
The problem
What goes wrong without this.
On most delayed industrial projects, the delay was visible in the data months before it was acknowledged. What was missing was not information but an independent party whose job was to read it and escalate.
Contractors report progress in terms that favour them. Percentage completion is claimed against value billed rather than physical progress. Schedule slippage is absorbed quietly into float that no longer exists. By the time the owner sees the problem, the recovery options have narrowed to paying for acceleration or accepting the delay.
Project management consultancy puts an independent team between the owner and the contractors, reporting on physical progress against a baseline, controlling cost against sanction, and enforcing quality against specification.

Why NITS Corp
Why bring this to us
Progress measured physically, not commercially
Completion is reported against measured physical progress rather than value billed. The two diverge early on troubled projects, and that divergence is the earliest warning available.
Independent of the contractors
Where we act as PMC, we do not hold the construction contracts. Our reporting has no commercial reason to be optimistic.
Recovery mandates accepted
We take on projects that are already behind. The first deliverable in those cases is an honest re-baseline, which is usually the step the project has been avoiding.

How does PMC differ from your turnkey service?
Can you take over a project that is already behind schedule?
Do you provide site staff or only periodic supervision?
Will you certify contractor bills?

A short conversation is usually enough to tell you whether the project is viable, what it will take, and what it should cost. There is no charge for that first discussion.
