We build tomorrow, Today!
A framework for risk reduction in CAPEX projects through Front End Loading (FEL): independent, standards-based evidence on project definition, schedule, estimate and contingency — before the investment decision and during execution.
We offer amplified transparency on the status of your projects.
The services we provide establish the basis for better decision making for each stakeholder involved in a CAPEX project, from FEL 1 to commissioning.
Project Execution Planning & Review
Sustainable project execution plans for the early phases, including modularization, and independent Cold Eye Reviews of projects in execution.
Cost Engineering
Review and benchmarking of capital cost estimates, including the Aspen Capital Cost Estimator (ACCE), against AACE and GAO criteria.
Organisational Development
Workshops in all project phases, from kick-off and team building to Project Controls frameworks and cost estimation processes.
Project Risk Analysis
Identification, evaluation and mitigation of project execution risks; contingency quantified through Monte Carlo analysis per AACE.
Interim Management & Shadowing
Project, construction and commissioning management on an interim basis. Preferred model: shadowing, mentoring your project manager and core team through ramp-up, the first 100 days and critical decisions.
Independent evidence at the moments that decide a project
Cold Eye Review of a project in execution
Engineering complete, civil works nearing completion, cost-to-complete revealing a substantial overrun. An independent review restored a fact-based view of scope, schedule and cost.

Project maturity assessment prior to FID
A PDRI-style maturity assessment, FELcilitate method, from two independent perspectives, consolidated in a deep-dive workshop: around 75 % defined, and a prioritised list of what to close before the investment decision.

Schedule Health Check of a contractor’s revised schedule
14 criteria based on DCMA 14-Point, a milestone comparison against the contract and a WBS check against scope: the schedule failed on network, critical path and constraints.
