Uncertainty is a constant in complex engineering and infrastructure projects. And while detailed frameworks and processes are crucial for managing this uncertainty, they are only a part of the bigger picture. What often determines whether risks are contained or escalate is not the procedure itself, but how people engage with it. This blog explores why […]

Engineering excellence alone cannot guarantee the success of infrastructure projects. True success depends on how well each project integrates commercial thinking into its planning and delivery. A sound commercial strategy in construction provides the framework for delivering predictable, measurable results. As the Australian government commits billions to national development projects, this strategic approach has become […]

Across Australia, design-delivery disconnects continue to drive cost overruns and project delays. For project owners and government bodies, this gap represents one of the greatest sources of uncertainty in infrastructure delivery. In this blog, KPMC outlines the key causes of the design-delivery gap and the strategies and technologies that can ensure what is designed is […]

The Financial Imperative of Proactive Risk Management In Australia, 90% of construction projects experience cost overruns, averaging 28% above initial estimates. Infrastructure projects fail because risks are discovered too late. When issues surface during delivery rather than during design, they extend schedules and erode stakeholder confidence. For complex infrastructure, where every hour of delay incurs […]
