Project Health Assessment
With vast experience in the delivery of construction projects, at Oracle Projects we are able to identify whether a project is destined for success or otherwise. By reviewing the project budget, programme, objectives and contract status we are able to undertake a detailed project health assessment to enable any necessary corrective actions to be implemented.
We undertake a detailed analysis of the project status and contractual arrangements to determine whether the project is on the path to successfully achieve its objectives. We provide a report on the health of each of the key components of the project and as a summary for the overall project health.
