At KSL Projects, we take immense pride in transforming distressed projects into successful, on-time, and on-budget completions. One of our most notable achievements involved managing £11M worth of glazing contracts across multiple high-profile developments, including the Commonwealth Games Athletes Village Accommodation in Perry Barr, Birmingham.
The Challenge:
The project faced significant challenges, with a number of distressed and at-risk contracts. Issues around budget overruns, scheduling delays, and stakeholder dissatisfaction put the projects at risk of falling behind, potentially jeopardising future contracts.
Our Approach:
We applied a comprehensive and strategic approach to take control of these complex projects and return them to a steady course:
✅ Stakeholder Management & Confidence Building
We worked closely with all stakeholders, ensuring open communication channels, regular updates, and proactive engagement to maintain confidence throughout the process.
✅ Program & Budget Restoration
By closely monitoring every aspect of the projects, we successfully restored the program schedules and budgets. We implemented effective cost-control measures and regularly reviewed project progress to ensure alignment with the planned objectives.
✅ Comprehensive Project Control
From costing to procurement, design input, and program development, we ensured that all workstreams stayed on track. This included overseeing subcontractor labour selection, monitoring performance, and ensuring quality standards were maintained.
✅ Collaboration Across Workstreams
Our involvement covered a diverse range of sectors across the UK, including education, healthcare, social housing, industrial, retail, leisure, and office spaces – each requiring tailored solutions and careful oversight.
The Results:
By implementing effective project control measures, we were able to restore the troubled projects to their original program and budget, while maintaining the highest levels of stakeholder engagement and satisfaction. This led to the successful completion of the glazing contracts, including the prestigious Commonwealth Games Athletes Village.
As a result of our performance, the client was recommended for, and secured, future prestigious projects valued at an impressive £21M.
Our comprehensive approach to project control, procurement, and design input has proven to deliver significant value across various sectors, and we continue to drive success for our clients on projects of all scales.
