Construction & major projects

Companies implementing growth plans or executing large capital projects frequently encounter surprises in the form of cost overruns and schedule delays. Major capital projects are often complicated, fast-paced, and carried out in an environment prone to fraud, uncertainty, waste and abuse.

Stakeholders are demanding transparency, predictability and accountability for project results to ensure that administrators and boards are empowered to make prudent capital decisions. KPMG’s Major Projects Advisory assists clients in identifying and mitigating project risks throughout the project life cycle. Our methodology encompasses both “Doing the right project” and “Doing the project right.”

During development, KPMG provides owners with objective feedback to assist decision making for the appraisal, selection, and establishment of programs and projects. During execution, we provide real-time, objective feedback to owners and contractors to facilitate proactive decision making to mitigate cost, schedule, quality and other project risks.

Our services include construction program evaluations, project risk and controls assessments, contract compliance analyses and cost investigations, as well as project support on complex and troubled projects. We provide focused industry knowledge, multidisciplinary teams, and substantive experience in managing both the financial and technical aspects of major capital projects and programs.
