Independent Project Assurance · Est. 2026 · Chennai, India

We don't promise certainty.
We engineer it.

Project Assure Private Limited provides independent project assurance for major infrastructure and real estate across four practices (Planning and Controls, Engineering, Advisory, and Environmental), protecting time, cost, and contractual outcomes on high-stakes infrastructure and real asset projects.

"Owners, lenders, and sponsors don't need another voice telling them what they already suspect. They need an independent, technically credible, evidence-grounded second opinion, delivered in time to act on."
From the Director

One firm. Four practices.
Four operating companies.

"We don't promise certainty. We engineer it."

Most large projects do not fail because the people on them are unskilled. They fail because the project's own internal mechanisms, the schedule, the risk register, the progress report, the contractor's narrative, quietly stop telling the truth long before anyone is willing to say so out loud.

Project Assure exists for the part of that problem that no internal team can solve for itself. We operate with our own proprietary tools for schedule integrity, risk discipline, progress verification, and forensic analysis, and we deliver every engagement under our own name and our own signature.

Our Four Practices

What we deliver, across each practice.

Each practice operates with its own deliverables, methodology, and team, sharing the same standard of independence, evidence, and forensic-grade clarity.

Project Planning & Controls

Independent oversight, planning, and forensic controls across the full project lifecycle. We provide the schedule integrity, cost discipline, and commercial rigour that internal teams cannot objectively produce for themselves.

Methodology: Primavera P6, DCMA 14-point, GAO 9-point, SCL Protocol, NEC/FIDIC provisions

PMC Oversight · Forensic Analysis · EVM
Schedule Management

Programme development, baseline control, and forensic schedule analysis, including critical path diagnostics, DCMA compliance, and delay causation mapping to adjudication standard.

Contract Management

Notice administration, compensation event management, and correspondence strategy under NEC, FIDIC, and bespoke forms, preserving entitlement from day one through final account.

Risk Management

Quantitative and qualitative risk assessment, Monte Carlo simulation (P50/P80/P90), and risk register discipline. Results are defensible risk positions for boards, funders, and dispute contexts.

Change Management

Scope change identification, variation assessment, and compensation event valuation. This ensures every change is correctly characterised, noticed, and quantified before entitlement is lost.

Performance & Reporting

Earned Value Management (EVM), SPI/CPI analysis, and independent progress verification, producing reporting that a board or funder can trust rather than the project team's own narrative.

Engineering Advisory

Design oversight, technical review, and value engineering across major infrastructure projects. We provide the independent technical lens that identifies design risk before it becomes programme risk.

Applied across rail, aviation, water infrastructure, energy, and real estate development programmes.

Design Oversight · Technical Review · Systems
Design Management

Design stage gate assessment, deliverable milestone tracking, and interface coordination. This ensures design maturity is accurately reflected in the programme baseline before construction commitment.

Technical Reviews

Independent technical review of design packages, specifications, and method statements, identifying buildability risks, design gaps, and value engineering opportunities before award.

Value Engineering

Structured value engineering studies examining design, materials, and construction methods. This produces cost and programme savings without compromising functionality or regulatory compliance.

System Assurance

Systems assurance framework development and delivery for rail, aviation, and infrastructure projects, from initial safety case through integrated testing and operational readiness.

Assessments & Audits

Technical audits of contractor design submissions, construction method statements, and quality management systems, providing independent verification for owners, funders, and regulators.

Infrastructure & Real Estate Advisory

Strategy and transactions advisory across infrastructure and real estate. From feasibility through asset management, we provide the independent commercial intelligence that investment decisions require.

Applied across developers, institutional investors, government bodies, and infrastructure sponsors.

Strategy · Transactions · Asset Management
Tender & Bid Strategy

Commercially defensible bid positions for major infrastructure tenders. Programme commitments, risk allocations, and regulatory approval paths structured to be achievable before the contract is signed.

Feasibility Studies

Development feasibility assessments integrating financial modelling, planning consent timelines, design programme obligations, and regulatory approval paths, producing investment theses the market can trust.

Assurance Reviews

Independent assurance reviews across projects, programmes, and portfolios for development banks, equity sponsors, and project sponsors. We produce a view on delivery health and investment readiness that is not generated by the team whose performance it is assessing.

Project Structuring & Setup

Programme governance design, PMO setup, controls framework establishment, and contract strategy advisory, building the organisational infrastructure that major projects require before mobilisation.

Asset Management & Development Planning

Asset management strategies, portfolio planning, and development advisory for institutional real estate owners, developers, and public sector bodies across residential, commercial, and mixed-use schemes.

Environmental Services

Delivered through our specialised operating companies: eGreen (India) and Mazoon International (Oman). Comprehensive environmental compliance, modelling, monitoring, and ESG advisory for infrastructure programmes.

Why Project Assure

What makes the difference is who does the work.

Brought in when it matters most

Our mandates begin when internal reporting has lost credibility, when claims exposure is mounting, or when a programme needs an independent diagnosis that the project team cannot produce for itself.

Planning, contracts, and claims combined

We integrate schedule forensics, commercial analysis, and contract administration in a single mandate. Every element supports the others, because real project problems span all three disciplines simultaneously.

Design and regulatory risk understood

We understand how design maturity, regulatory approvals, and environmental dependencies interact with programme commitments and contractual risk. These interactions are are where most delays originate.

Directly with decision-makers

The person you brief is the person who does the work. No delegation to analysts, no junior team learning on your project. Senior principals on every engagement, every time.

Independent, defensible positions

Our independence is structural, not claimed. We do not manage the programme and assure it simultaneously. Our positions hold in adjudication, arbitration, and regulator review because they are built to.

One firm. Four practices. Global reach.

Registered in Chennai. Active across UAE, Oman, Saudi Arabia, India, and internationally. Four specialist practices under one roof, without the global office overhead passed on in fees.

Engage the Firm

If a project of yours is approaching a moment where being right matters more than being agreeable, we should talk.

Most engagements begin with a 30-minute conversation about the project, the question, and the decision the client needs to make. Nothing is signed in that call. We will tell you whether assurance is the right intervention, or not.

Discuss a live project or programme at risk
Review your project's risk and entitlement exposure
Engage early on a bid or programme before it is committed
Request an independent programme diagnostic
