The Employers own footprints two materially different financial histories exist for the same projects within the same evidential framework. Contemporaneous "Costs Known" records and later reconstructed £278,000 "loss" records appear to present conflicting accounts of the same operational period. Construction Manager 🟩 £8,000 (approx. 341 hours) 🟥 Inflated to £41,605.82 🟥 Deflated to £10,476.10 🟥 Reinflated to £58,160.24 Thames Water Staff 🟩 £8,480 🟥 Deflated to £265 🟥 Reinflated to £9,010 Dorchester STW – Project Total 🟩 Authentic recorded CDM cost: £107,670.53 🟥 Reconstructed “budget”: £35,000+ 🟥 Reconstructed position: £176,441.43 Dorchester – Key Cost Movements Civil Subcontractor A 🟩 £48,164.82 🟥 Deflated to £9,900 🟥 Restored to £48,164.82 🟥 Additional variation added £25,619.70 Subcontractor B 🟩 £2,127.76 🟥 Inflated to £3,464.42 🟥 Returned to £2,127.76 Staff Costs – Dorchester STW Commercial Staff 🟩 £6,191.71 🟥 Deflated to £1,899.63 🟥 Restored to £6,191.71 Construction Manager 🟩 £8,011.93 🟥 Inflated to £10,156.50 🟥 Reinflated to £27,230.37 Thames Water Worker 🟩 £4,951.25 🟥 Deflated to £1,060 🟥 Restored to £4,951.25 Design Team Volatility (Dorchester) 🟩 £37,718.31 (known cost position) 🟥 £9,755.15 (deflated) 🟥 £62,155.81 (inflated – 20 workers) 🟥 £8,682.80 (deflated) 🟥 £62,155.81 (re-inflated same day) No corresponding site activity was identified to explain these movements. Chronological Variance Issue 🟩 Verified recorded position: £107,670.53 🟥 Revised deflated position: £71,500 🟥 Further revisions: £86,000 → £132,000 🟥 Final reconstructed position: £176,441.43 🟥 Judgment reference divergence: £76,000 🟥 Unexplained variance: £100,441.43 Overall Chronology Concern Across both projects: Costs were already known during live delivery (Nov 2015 – May 2016) Later spreadsheets introduced backdated changes (~11 months) Budgets were inserted after expenditure Payroll histories were altered Duplicate charging occurred Costs were removed and later reinstated No reconciled audit trail has been produced In total: ~46 cost lines altered 38+ payroll and partner records affected Multiple conflicting project totals exist within the same disclosure set Final Structural Contradiction Section 4 of the evidence contains the contemporaneous “costs known” position. Section 20 introduces a later catastrophic loss narrative. Both exist within the same evidential bundle, separated by approximately 197 pages. Only one version can represent the true operational financial history of the projects. Closing Observation Within a regulated Ofwat framework delivering critical infrastructure for Thames Water, the existence of parallel financial narratives for the same works raises a fundamental governance question: How can two materially different cost histories exist for the same projects — without a fully reconciled audit trail explaining the transition between them?
