Solvix International provides recovery and acceleration planning services for projects that have slipped behind programme, are under milestone pressure, or need to improve completion confidence without losing control of cost, contract exposure, quality, or safety. We diagnose the real reasons for schedule underperformance, test practical recovery scenarios, and develop a structured plan that can be implemented, monitored, and defended before internal stakeholders, clients, funders, or delivery teams.
Recovery and acceleration planning goes beyond simply adding labour or compressing durations. It is a disciplined assessment of what can realistically improve dates and what may create further instability if pursued without control.
This service can be delivered as proactive commercial governance on live projects, an independent review of a troubled cost position, or a targeted verification exercise linked to payment, change, funding, audit, or dispute concerns.
In many construction disputes, the challenge is not simply the absence of data but the absence of structure. Critical information is spread across correspondence, schedules, notices, progress updates, payment records, meeting minutes, instructions, and technical documents. Solvix helps turn that fragmented material into a disciplined narrative and evidence base that legal teams can work with effectively.
Core elements usually expected in independent construction expert reporting
Define the question, scope, and assumptions.
Show the records and data relied upon.
Explain how the analysis was performed.
Set out the material results and observations.
State the conclusion clearly and independently.
Our methodology is designed to move quickly from diagnosis to action while keeping the recommendation credible. The exact approach depends on the maturity of the programme, reporting quality, contract environment, and urgency of the issue, but the core sequence remains consistent.
confirm the current programme position, major slippage events, reporting quality, and milestone exposure.
establish the live driving path, near-critical paths, and major handoff constraints.
build practical options for date recovery, including resequencing, parallel working, resource changes, and workface strategy.
check constructability, labour availability, procurement constraints, site access, quality, HSE, and commercial implications.
select the preferred option and define actions, responsibilities, trigger dates, and monitoring requirements.
The strength of a recovery plan depends on the reliability of the programme and project records. Where records are incomplete, Solvix identifies the uncertainty and explains how it affects confidence in the proposed recovery path.
Recovery planning is focused on regaining lost time and restoring confidence in dates. Acceleration is one possible part of that response, but only where additional effort or alternative execution can improve dates in a controlled way.
No. In many projects, the best date gain comes from resequencing, workface strategy, interface management, targeted subcontract capacity, or procurement action rather than simply increasing headcount.
Yes. Recovery planning often sits alongside delay analysis, extension of time issues, and commercial decisions. Solvix can align the recovery work with wider claims, entitlement, or dispute-support needs.
Yes. Depending on the brief, Solvix can provide a strategic recovery note, a scenario analysis, or a revised programme and milestone action plan ready for implementation monitoring.
