Essex College

Anser were engaged by a national contractor to carry out an audit on a £6m new build, design and build project for the College.

The works involved construction of classrooms, a performance art theatre, kitchens and a restaurant within the college’s existing grounds. Works were being carried out within a very constrained site and to a tight programme aimed at completing the works ahead of the start of the new academic year.

We identified delay and escalating costs. We then carried out a detailed review identifying the reasons for the delay and increased cost and making proposals to recover or mitigate the problems. As a result, the contractor re-programmed the works and agreed a revised completion date with the Client. The project was completed successfully.
