Phases
Project information is everywhere. Decision context is not.
Schedule, commercial, contractor, compliance, and sustainability signals are usually reviewed in isolation. OAG brings those domains into one advisory context so teams can understand what changed, what it affects, and what to do next.
CONNECTED DECISION MODEL
One delay. Every consequence, connected.
Illustrative scenario showing the direction of OAG's connected advisory model. Outputs depend on verified project evidence.
Facade package delivery is 12 days behind programme.
The delay sits on the enclosure path and affects follow-on finishes, access sequencing, evidence submissions, and commercial forecasts.

ADVISORY QUESTIONS
Questions project teams should be able to answer.
How can a construction delay affect cost and compliance?+
A delay can extend preliminaries, change procurement timing, increase forecast exposure, and put approval or evidence conditions at risk. OAG reviews those consequences together so recovery choices can be compared across time, cost, and assurance impact.
What should a project feasibility review cover?+
A useful review should test commercial assumptions, delivery readiness, regulatory constraints, material risks, sustainability priorities, and the quality of the available evidence before major commitments are made.
How does STHIR support project decisions?+
STHIR structures sustainability performance into measurable pillars, evidence requirements, scoring logic, and corrective actions that can be reviewed alongside project delivery and commercial information.
