Consultancy & Advisory Services

Targeted Support at Critical Project Stages

We provide specialist advisory support to project teams requiring independent commercial and technical input during procurement and delivery.

Typical Advisory Support Includes:

  • Scope clarification workshops
  • Commercial risk reviews
  • Technical peer discussions
  • Value engineering input

This service is particularly valuable for complex projects or high-risk procurement stages.

Our Approach

Structured, Independent, Evidence-Based

Every engagement follows a disciplined methodology to ensure consistency and defensibility:

  1. Scope Review – Understand project requirements and documentation
  2. Technical Assessment – Evaluate BEMS system intent and delivery approach
  3. Commercial Analysis – Review pricing logic, assumptions and risk exposure
  4. Reporting – Deliver clear, structured findings
  5. Client Support – Discuss outcomes and next steps

This ensures clients receive actionable insight rather than generic commentary.

Our independence is central to our value proposition and is formally managed through conflict-of-interest controls on every engagement.
