Full breakdown below: client challenge, Primus solution, delivery approach, outcome and measurable benefit.
The client had signed a £15m M&E fit-out inside a live hyperscale campus with a hard go-live tied to a colo tenancy. Inside the first quarter, the appointed contractor was six weeks behind baseline, with no earned-value reporting and a risk register that had not been updated in ten weeks. Escalations to the sponsor were being handled through the account team, not the delivery lead.
Primus took over project controls end-to-end: baseline reset in fourteen days, cost-loaded schedule, earned-value tracking against a re-forecast cash curve, and a live risk register with named owners on every line. Assurance reporting rewritten so the sponsor could act on it without a translator.
A director-led team of four embedded on site inside a week. Weekly control meeting with the delivery contractor, monthly assurance review with the sponsor, and a shared dashboard with real-time schedule and cost variance. Independent commissioning strategy layered in from month two.
Programme handed over eight weeks ahead of the recovered baseline, zero major defects at handover, and risk exposure reduced by fifteen percent against the original register. The colo tenant took occupation on the original date without an extension request.
