Change and Risk Management

Change and Risk Management
At Buro Matei, we provide advanced Change and Risk Management services tailored for Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) projects.

In an industry where even minor changes can ripple across disciplines and disrupt schedules, effective management of change and risk is essential for reliable project execution.

Our approach is underpinned by a fully defined EPC workflow, supported by our in-house LOD (Level of Development)-driven platform

This powerful system enables us to visualize workfront readiness, sequence activities, and assess the potential impact of changes across all disciplines and project phases. Paired with robust risk analysis tools, including Monte Carlo simulations, we provide the insights necessary to make informed decisions, mitigate risks, and enhance project predictability.

At Buro Matei, we don’t just implement these tools—we use them ourselves

Through transparent processes and data-driven methods, Buro Matei helps organizations streamline decision-making, reduce rework, and maintain control over cost, schedule, and quality.

Why Buro Matei

Data-Driven Expertise: Our unique LOD-driven workflow visualization system highlights the ripple effects of changes across disciplines, deliverables, and project phases, making the impact of decisions fully transparent.

Proven Methodologies: We utilize Monte Carlo analysis, structured risk frameworks, and predictive technologies to enable precise risk assessments and mitigation strategies.

Comprehensive Change Scenarios: We combine engineering knowledge with data insights to evaluate the full financial, schedule, and resource implications of potential changes, enabling smarter decision-making.

Tailored Solutions: From setting up granular data systems to leveraging AI for risk prediction, we customize solutions to align with your project’s specific needs.

Collaborative Support: Whether working on a single project or establishing organizational systems, we partner with teams to implement sustainable, future-ready change and risk management practices.

Challenges We Solve

Our Change and Risk Management services address critical challenges in EPC execution:

Uncontrolled Changes: Poorly managed changes lead to costly rework, schedule delays, and quality issues.

Limited Visibility: Decision-makers lack tools to visualize how changes ripple across disciplines and project phases.

Reactive Risk Planning: Without structured frameworks or historical data, organizations struggle to proactively manage risks.

Inconsistent Change Processes: Varying approaches to change management across teams create inefficiencies and confusion.

Data Deficiencies: Inadequate historical data limits the ability to analyze, predict, and mitigate risks effectively.

Results 

Our data-driven approach to Change and Risk Management has delivered tangible outcomes:

70% Rework Reduction

Imagine a client requests moving a pump 1 meter to the east. Using our LOD-driven platform, we visualize the cascading impacts of this potential change immediately. The platform highlights that the client had previously approved the pump’s size, shape, location, and orientation, forming the basis for subsequent design work. Civil engineering had already issued IFC foundation drawings, piping had completed stress calculations, and process engineering finalized line sizing based on the original pump placement.

3 month ahead schedule

The platform flags every downstream activity affected by this change: the foundation drawings would need revision, stress calculations recalculated, and line sizing adjusted. Additionally, the 3D model updates would propagate through accessibility checks, pipe routing adjustments, support configurations, and instrument re-evaluations. If this change were implemented without proper assessment, it could result in missed updates—like the foundation being poured at the original location or piping stress issues going unnoticed—leading to costly rework and construction delays.

Improve productivity

The LOD-driven visualization recalculates and reduces the development levels (LOD) of all impacted deliverables and activities, effectively rewinding their progress in real time. With resource-loaded, time-bound, and cost-integrated data, the platform displays the full schedule and financial implications of such a change in a Power BI dashboard. Stakeholders can immediately see the ripple effect across disciplines, providing undeniable clarity about the cost, effort, and time consequences. This transparency enables the client and project leadership to make informed decisions, often deterring costly changes before they happen.

70% Rework Reduction
99% First-Time-Right Deliverables

Our integrated workflows ensure that changes are identified, assessed, and managed before they lead to errors or inefficiencies. By embedding change management directly into our execution processes, we have achieved nearly flawless deliverables, reducing revision rates to less than 1%.

3 month ahead schedule
Improved Risk Contingency Planning

Monte Carlo simulations allow us to allocate precise contingencies for both cost and schedule risks. This structured approach has saved millions in potential overruns by identifying high-risk areas and implementing targeted mitigation strategies.

Improve productivity
Enhanced Client Transparency

Real-time dashboards provide immediate visibility into change impacts, enabling stakeholders to make informed decisions quickly. By visualizing risks and dependencies, our tools foster trust, improve communication, and streamline the change approval process.
