• Independent assessments of the project’s progress and a review of the programme status
• Identification of programme risks that would influence the likely Completion of the project
• Assistance with monthly programme status updates

The TBH Difference

TBH’s extensive experience in the renewable energy sector was significant in providing independent advice on the likely risks, opportunities and key benchmarking data. This assisted in ascertaining the key drives that would influence the likely completion of the project and reasonability of the Contractor’s proposed strategies.
