Are You Sitting on a Goldmine of Unclaimed Project Recovery?
If you're a Project Director or Commercial Manager working on the closeout phase of a major infrastructure or construction project, this question is more than just provocative—it’s a reality check.
Across the UK, Tier 1 contractors are under mounting pressure to finalise accounts, resolve variations, and recover entitlement. And yet, we consistently see millions of pounds left on the table—unclaimed, under-evidenced, or simply overlooked due to stretched internal teams.
At Winterburn Consulting Surveyors, we’ve built a reputation for stepping in when the heat is on.
So, what does “project recovery” really mean?
It’s not just about chasing money. It’s about:
Identifying and evidencing entitlements across time and cost
Resolving the backlog of variations that have quietly accumulated
Accelerating final account agreements to unlock cashflow
Reducing commercial risk before it becomes a legal issue
In other words, it’s about getting your project back on track—without adding cost. In fact, our work pays for itself, many times over, by unlocking value that would otherwise remain buried.
Why this matters right now
The end-of-project phase is where reputation is made or lost. Missed entitlements, unresolved subcontractor disputes, and creeping programme delays can all erode profitability—and internal teams are often too close or too overloaded to turn things around quickly.
That’s where we come in. We work fast, discreetly, and with deep commercial and contractual expertise to resolve what others leave behind.
Who brings us in?
Group Commercial Directors who want cost certainty and reputational protection
Project Directors facing growing pressure to hit closeout targets
Commercial Managers who are already doing the job of three people
We work alongside your team—not instead of them—to drive results at pace.
Ready to see what you're sitting on?
If you're closing out a complex project—or staring down the barrel of unresolved variations and time claims—it's worth asking:
