Project complexity assessment
The Concept and Developed Design Quality Best Practice Self-Assessment Tool, published by the Chartered Quality Institute (CQI) Construction Special Interest Group (ConSIG) in 2021 and updated in 2022, defines a project complexity assessment as: ‘An (optional) evaluation undertaken at the concept stage by Clients/Owners with large portfolios of projects. It is used to determine the complexity classification of the project and thus to establish high risk areas and the level of governance of the project. E.g. Board level approval, PMO intervention etc.'
