Initial review to identify risks, information gaps, and critical decisions before moving forward with design, budgeting, hiring, or construction.

What is it for?
It helps you avoid moving forward with incomplete information. This service helps identify risks related to scope, cost, schedule, design, permits, hiring, payments, or changes.

Frequently Asked Questions / FAQ
When is the right time to request this service?
The best time is before signing, paying, developing more design, hiring, or building while important doubts still exist. It can also help if the project has already started and you need to understand what is weak before making more decisions.
¿Cuál es la diferencia entre Diagnóstico de Riesgo y Prefactibilidad?
The Project Risk Assessment reviews the current status of the project to identify risks, gaps, and urgent decisions.
The Pre-Feasibility Review is broader and is used when the main decision is about investment: buying a lot, developing a property, building for rental income, or validating whether the project makes sense under specific site, scope, budget, and strategy conditions.
What is the difference between a Project Risk Assessment and a Pre-Feasibility Review?
The Project Risk Assessment answers: What risks do I have, and what should I organize first?.
The Clear Preconstruction Roadmap answers: What do we do now, in what order, with what scope, base budget, schedule, and hiring strategy?.
In many cases, the Project Risk Assessment defines whether it makes sense to move forward into a Clear Preconstruction Roadmap.
Does this service replace technical studies?
No. It does not replace soil studies, topography, appraisals, legal reviews, environmental studies, or market studies. I review the available information and point out what is missing, what seems risky, and what should be validated with specialists before moving forward.
What happens if the assessment finds important problems?
You receive a clear reading of the main risks, what information is missing, and which decisions should be addressed first. The recommendation may be to move forward, pause, correct the project, review the budget, organize a Clear Preconstruction Roadmap, complete a Pre-Feasibility Review, or recover control of the project.
Can I request this service if I already have an architect or contractor?
Yes. The Project Risk Assessment does not replace your architect or contractor. It works as a second reading from your side as the owner, focused on risks, clarity, cost, schedule, scope, payments, changes, and pending decisions.
