An independent review of planning, approvals, buildability, delivery risks and commercial assumptions before major commitments are made.
Projects rarely fail because the original idea was wrong. More often, challenges emerge because approvals, consultant coordination, project sequencing, budget assumptions or delivery pathways were not properly aligned early enough.
Identifying those issues before construction begins — ideally before significant commitments are made — can improve project viability, reduce risk and create opportunities to restructure the project while options remain available.
Every project contains assumptions. The purpose of a Project Readiness Review is to identify risks, gaps and coordination issues before they become expensive problems.
Potential permit, planning, overlay, authority or compliance issues that may affect project viability or delivery.
Review of consultant requirements, responsibilities and project interfaces to identify potential gaps or duplication.
Assessment of whether approvals, design, procurement and delivery activities are occurring in the most effective order.
Review of project assumptions that may influence feasibility, cost, timing or delivery outcomes.
Identification of buildability, servicing, authority, infrastructure or implementation risks.
Assessment of whether the project is genuinely ready to progress to the next stage.
Projects requiring a second set of eyes before major commitments are made.
Projects where owners need confidence that the numbers, approvals and delivery pathway still stack.
Projects involving multiple stakeholders, funding requirements and delivery pathways.
Projects requiring independent review of assumptions, sequencing or coordination risks.
The outcome is simple: proceed, redesign, restructure of walk away with greater confidence.

The earlier issues are found, the more options remain available.
Most project problems are significantly cheaper to resolve before contracts are signed, consultants are fully engaged or delivery commitments have been locked in.
A Project Readiness Review helps identify issues while the project remains flexible, allowing better-informed decisions and reducing the likelihood of costly surprises later in the process.
