Preventing problems before they happen.
The best disputes are the ones that never happen. We help owners, contractors and joint ventures plan, control and protect major projects from feasibility to handover, and when disputes do arise, we resolve them on the evidence.
Plan with precision. Control with confidence.
Engineering insight, commercial awareness and proven planning methods, applied through every phase of the project life cycle.
Feasibility
We assess the schedule, cost, logistics, interfaces, risks and opportunities of a design across the whole project life cycle, so your business case rests on accurate numbers.
Planning
Detailed project planning or top-down programme and portfolio planning, including 5D time and cost planning. We work alongside project managers, staff and subcontractors to deliver on time.
Risk
Qualitative and quantitative time and cost risk analysis. Through facilitated workshops we identify, quantify and de-risk your project before risks become delays.
Contract and cost
Experience across all major forms of contract. We price from first principles, build accurate rates, schedules and cash-flow forecasts, and track earned value against cost and quantity.
Project controls
Design and implementation of schedule, cost, risk, quality, interface and information management systems, along with the people, processes and IT that make them work.
Audits and health checks
An independent, objective review of programme, delays, costs, risks and issues, giving leadership a clear picture of progress and performance.
Clarity at every level.
Projects fail in the gaps between levels. We connect contract-level detail to corporate decisions, so progress, risks and issues flow up, and strategic deliverables flow down.
The result is a single, trusted view of the project for the board, the programme team and the site.
Turning conflict into success.
Even the best-managed projects face challenges. When disputes arise, we bring the strategy, structure and evidence to resolve them quickly, while protecting the relationships your business depends on.
