Independent technical guidance for abandoned, insolvent, or non-compliant projects

When a construction project becomes distressed — whether through builder insolvency, non-compliance, funding interruption, or mismanagement — lenders, certifiers, lawyers, owners corporations, and developers require independent expert support to assess risk, establish a recovery pathway, and safely complete the work.

We specialise in rescuing and stabilising abandoned sites, half-built projects, and receivership assets across NSW, providing clear, defensible, and lender-safe reporting throughout the entire recovery lifecycle.

What Is Distressed Project Recovery?

A distressed construction project is one that is:

  • Stalled or abandoned
  • Impacted by cashflow collapse
  • Facing builder insolvency
  • Denied OC due to non-compliance
  • Affected by waterproofing or fire separation defects
  • In dispute between parties
  • Without adequate supervision or documentation
