Who benefits from an IPAT Assessment?
Is an IPAT Assessment right for you? Absolutely.
Whether you're managing a complex infrastructure project or overseeing a broader portfolio at the national, regional, or municipal level, the IPAT Assessment is designed to support and empower you. Project Delivery Organisations, Client Organisations, and Public Sponsors benefit from an objective, outside-in perspective offered by international experts who understand the realities of delivering large-scale projects.
How it works: Learning, not auditing
Unlike an audit, the IPAT Assessment is a constructive, learning-oriented evaluation. It focuses on the full scope of project management: how the Project Delivery Organisation and Client/Sponsor plan, communicate, and coordinate all aspects of delivery, far beyond just the physical construction. This holistic approach provides a clear view of a project’s readiness to move into its next phase and its likelihood of meeting defined objectives and outcomes.
Tailored expert team for your project
We have a trained pool of IPAT Assessors with extensive experience across rail, roads, tunnels, water, airports, and utilities. For each project, we put together a tailored team of international experts matched to your project’s type and phase.
The Result
For the project team
Practical, actionable insights to immediately enhance delivery.
