Project Audit

Socanin offers an audit service that leverages our field experience and thus compares the current state of the project with the planned or upcoming advancement stage.

Deviations will be exposed and our team will be able to verify if all critical elements are in place to ensure success, on time and according to the planned budget. Otherwise, recommendations and points to monitor and improve to move to the next stage will be put forward.

Our intervention therefore deserves to be considered at all phases of your project:

Pre-project

During the definition and planning of a project, some of our clients call upon our services to evaluate its feasibility. Their needs, as well as all internal and external factors specific to the project, are reviewed. Important factors and a watchful eye on the future vision and anticipated growth must not be left to chance.

During less exhaustive interventions, our audit service ensures that the right team is in place, that budgets and schedules are realistic and that the project is ready to move to the design stage.

Engineering/Procurement

Rigor, integrity and freedom of action are fundamental values attached to the success of any project. Socanin's expertise allows you to verify the preparation process of plans and specifications, coordination of tender document progress and/or criteria and supplier selection process.

An analysis of the plans and specifications that have been prepared by your professionals ensures that your needs and objectives can be achieved, while avoiding cost and schedule overruns. Among other things, the equipment procurement and installation deadlines must be well estimated from the design stage. A poorly designed tender and/or project will be subject to changes and unforeseen circumstances. The expertise of our procurement specialists at Socanin will ensure you target the critical elements to consider.

Construction/Implementation

During construction, unforeseen circumstances frequently cause considerable cost overruns and additional delays, thus jeopardizing project viability. Socanin can assist you in making informed decisions through situation assessment, identification of possible solutions or compromises, and finally recommend the solution best suited to the situation.

Startup/Operation

The delivery of a structure and startup often bring their share of unforeseen circumstances. Here again, our seasoned personnel will know how to intervene quickly and proactively when possible, at this final stage of your project. Socanin also performs, on behalf of its clients, post-mortem analyses and other end-of-project expertise.

Risk Analysis

In today's competitive environment, no company can afford to let organizational, financial, technical, contractual, environmental or other risks transform into real problems and undermine its overall performance. No company can afford, either, not to capitalize on the opportunities that present themselves.

In this context, it is therefore important to realize that Risk and Opportunity Management brings substantial added value allowing companies to protect themselves and/or profit from situations that, otherwise, could have negatively affected their performance. The rigorous application of this process leads project management and managers to question the decisions to be made and to develop better business agility.

Socanin possesses the experience, methodology and tools necessary for the implementation of such a process internally and can also accompany you through all its stages.
