The appraisals in particular are organised logically to make them clear and intuitive to use. The NPV functions are key. If the debt gaps are too far into the negative we know that the scheme is not viable without wasting our money.
Since the implementation of ProVal in 2014, appraisals have seen a significant increase in efficiency alongside overall project management.
ProVal is very user friendly but at the same time provides lots of functionality, detail and assurance that enables well-informed decision making. Muir is now able to be more dynamic in its approach to development appraisals, which helps us now and in the future.
