Software Project Rescue · London
Software Project Rescue in London
Taking over a build that has gone wrong. For London businesses months past a deadline, out of budget, or holding code from a supplier who has stopped responding — we establish what actually exists, what it would take to finish, and whether finishing is the right call at all.
Why this comes up
The problem
A failing project consumes budget fastest at exactly the point nobody wants to admit it is failing. Sunk cost keeps it running long after the honest decision became obvious.
What you get
What we deliver
- An independent assessment of what has been built versus what was promised
- A working environment reconstructed from whatever exists, so the position can be seen
- A cost and timeline to complete, and a cost to restart, stated side by side
- The specific reasons it went wrong, since most are process rather than code
- A stabilisation phase getting the current build deployable before new features resume
- A recovered handover pack — repository access, credentials, infrastructure, documentation

Thirty minutes, no charge, no sales script. You leave with a written summary of what software project rescue would actually involve — whether or not you use us.
Working in London
London
London clients usually come to us because they want senior people actually on their project rather than a large agency's B team, and because Midlands rates buy considerably more delivery per pound.
Clients here are usually replacing an agency, and want senior people on the work at rates that are not Central London rates.

Software Project Rescue in London — common questions
- Will you tell us to scrap it and start again?
- Only if that is genuinely cheaper, and we will show the arithmetic both ways. Rescue is more often the right answer than suppliers admit, because a restart is easier to sell and quietly discards work you already paid for.
- We do not have full access to the code. Can you still help?
- Often yes, though it constrains things. Getting repository, hosting and domain access back is usually the first task, and it is worth pursuing hard — a supplier holding infrastructure is a commercial problem before it is a technical one.
- How quickly will we know where we stand?
- The assessment is typically one to two weeks. It is deliberately fixed-price, because an open-ended engagement is the last thing a project already over budget needs.
- What if the original supplier disputes the findings?
- The report cites specifics rather than impressions, so it can be put to them directly. Sometimes their response is reasonable and changes our view; either way you are better placed than before.
- Do you work with businesses across Greater London?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout London, including London and the surrounding Greater London area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of London businesses do you usually work with?
- Clients here are usually replacing an agency, and want senior people on the work at rates that are not Central London rates. Beyond that we work across Financial Services, Professional Services, Technology, Media, Hospitality and Retail.
- Do you cover the areas around London?
- Yes — we work throughout London, including Reading, Milton Keynes, Cambridge, Brighton. London is an urban area of roughly 9,000,000+, and we take on work across the wider Greater London region rather than the city boundary alone.
