5. Risk & Issue Management
Overview
Kestrel establishes structured frameworks for identifying, evaluating, and mitigating risks before they escalate into delays or cost impacts. Our approach combines disciplined project management techniques with field experience to anticipate issues early and maintain project stability.
What This Service Includes

Projects fail when risks are unmanaged or identified too late. Structured risk governance helps clients protect capital, maintain stability, and navigate uncertainty with confidence.
Ideal Engagement Scenarios
Complex technical scopes (generators, MEPS infrastructure upgrades, structural work)
Multi-phase or multi-stakeholder projects
Early-stage feasibility studies and concept development
Projects with tight budgets or limited contingency
