Four defined products, each with a clear scope, method and outcome. Select a product to explore its assessment and the value it brings.


1

The Steward’s Standard

Capital Program Operating Model Assessment

Best for
Owners and occupiers with an ongoing capital program who want to raise how it performs.

A strategic assessment of your capital program’s operating model, playbooks and operational practice against 20 benchmark standards, giving a clear score and corrective plans.

Individual projects succeed or fail, but the way an organization plans, approves and delivers its capital program determines how often they succeed. The Steward’s Standard looks at that system as a whole.

We assess your operating model, governance, processes and playbooks against REEVES’s own benchmark standards for capital program delivery. Where The Steward’s Review looks at a single project, The Steward’s Standard looks at the organization behind every project.

How it works

  • About 20 benchmark standards, grouped in five categories

  • Each standard rated Compliant, Compliant (needs improvement), Non-compliant or Not applicable

  • An overall score based only on the standards that apply to your organization

  • Any non-compliant standard is flagged as a priority, whatever the overall score

What you get

  • A clear score for your capital program’s operating model

  • A view of where your organization meets the standard and where it falls short

  • Red flags on the most urgent gaps

  • Corrective plans to close each gap

  • A baseline for a follow-up review to measure progress

The value to you
A capital program that delivers more consistently, with better decisions made earlier and fewer projects needing rescue.

The Steward’s Review

Capital Project Health Assessment

An independent health check on whether your project or program is set up to succeed.

Best for
Projects in early stages or in design or delivery that need an objective view of their controls.

A structured assessment of a single capital project, scoring how well its cost, schedule, risk, quality and safety frameworks are set up and working, with a clear plan to improve them.

Leadership teams often approve a project and then rely on the delivery team’s own reporting to know whether it is healthy. The Steward’s Review gives you an independent answer, measured against a consistent framework rather than opinion.

We assess the project across nine dimensions, grouped in three tiers: Foundation (Safety, Governance and Deal Integrity), Control (Scope & Change Control, Stakeholders and Risk) and Delivery (Cost, Schedule and Quality). Safety sits at the top.

How it works

  • Nine dimensions, each assessed through three measures: 27 in total

  • Each measure is tested through three lenses: is it Defined, is it Operating, and is it Effective?

  • Measures are benchmarked against recognized industry standards, such as those of PMI and RICS

  • Each dimension is scored, giving an overall health rating for the project

What you get

  • An observational score for each of the nine dimensions and for the project overall

  • A clear view of which areas are strong and which are at risk

  • A prioritized improvement section with practical recommendations

  • A baseline you can use to measure progress at later stages

The value to you
Early, objective warning of weaknesses while there is still time to fix them, and confidence for leadership that the project is properly controlled.

The Steward’s Bench

Capital Team Skills Assessment

Know whether your team has the skills your capital program needs.

Best for
Organizations building, reshaping or growing an in-house capital projects team. 

An assessment of the skills and competency of your capital projects team, showing where its strengths lie and where gaps need to be filled.

The best processes depend on people with the right skills to run them. As capital programs grow or change, it is easy to lose sight of whether the team still has the experience the work demands.

The Steward’s Bench reviews the skills and competency of your capital projects team against what your program requires, so you can decide where to develop, hire or bring in outside support.

How it works

  • A review of the roles and skills your capital program requires

  • An assessment of your team’s current skills and competency against those needs

  • Identification of strengths, gaps and single points of failure

  • Recommendations for development, recruitment or outside support

What you get

  • A clear picture of your team’s skills and competency

  • The gaps that put your program at risk

  • Practical recommendations to strengthen the team

The value to you
A team equipped to protect your business case, and investment in people directed where it makes the most difference.

The Steward’s Recovery

Project Turnaround and Diagnostics

When a project is in trouble, find out why and put it back on course.

Best for
Projects that are over budget, behind schedule or losing the confidence of leadership.

A focused diagnostic and turnaround service for capital projects that have gone off track, identifying the root causes and setting out a practical plan to recover.

Some projects need more than oversight; they need intervention. Costs are rising, dates are slipping, relationships are strained and the reports no longer tell a clear story. The Steward’s Recovery is designed for that moment.

We work quickly to establish the true position of the project, identify what has caused the problems and separate what can be saved from what must be reset. We then set out a recovery plan and can support your team in carrying it out.

How it works

  • A rapid, independent diagnostic of the project’s current position

  • Root-cause analysis across cost, schedule, scope, contracts and team

  • A recovery plan with clear priorities, owners and decision points

  • Optional support while the recovery plan is put into action

What you get

  • An honest, independent picture of where the project really stands

  • The root causes of the problems, not just the symptoms

  • A practical recovery plan with recommended decisions for leadership

  • A realistic forecast of cost and completion

The value to you
Clarity in a difficult situation, a credible route back to control, and a better chance of protecting the business case you approved.
