Clients

Built around how you work.

Owners, engineers, EPCMs and contractors need different things from an estimator. Pick your seat and see what the first two weeks look like.

Engineering firms

The client is asking about cost and the answer is not defensible

Estimating that runs alongside the design, phase by phase, so the number moves with the drawings instead of appearing at the end of them. We work directly with your discipline leads, engineer to engineer.

Class 5 to 3 · Feasibility through budget

Typical engagement · Runs alongside each design phase

The first two weeks

→Read what exists and set up a preliminary WBS

→Discipline-by-discipline scope interviews

→Methodology and contingency agreed in writing

→A cost answer you can put in front of the client

EPC and EPCM contractors

Design through to construction, one continuous cost story

We work inside the project team, to your procedures and templates, and carry the estimate and its basis across phase gates without losing the audit trail. Because we understand how projects are executed during construction, the estimate reflects how the work actually gets built.

Class 4 to 2 · Phase gate to control baseline

Typical engagement · Embedded in the project team

The first two weeks

→Pick up the current estimate and find the gaps

→Rebuild the WBS to survive the next gate

→Estimate, benchmark, document the assumptions

→Hand over a baseline the controls team can run

Project owners

Is this feasible, and what does it cost to own?

Independent estimates, lifecycle cost, validation of someone else's number, and a basis of estimate your board can read without a translator. Cost decides whether the business case stands, and documentation is what lets you defend it.

Class 5 to 3 · Business case and validation

Typical engagement · Four to eight weeks per estimate

The first two weeks

→Establish what the project really includes

→Estimate, or stress-test the estimate you were given

→Benchmark against comparable built projects

→Walk your decision-makers through the numbers

General contractors

A tender you cannot pursue because you are short of estimators

Detailed bid estimating on your systems and your rates, in civil, infrastructure, tunnelling and industrial work, so live opportunities are not declined for capacity. Your data stays segregated to your bid, with confidentiality requirements agreed in writing before anything is shared.

Class 2 to 1 · Bid and baseline

Typical engagement · The tender period, on your systems

The first two weeks

→NDA signed and tender documents reviewed same day

→Take-off and quantification inside the week

→Pricing on your rates, assumptions flagged

→Bid-ready estimate with risk items itemised

How we work with every client

Three things that do not change with the seat.

Confidentiality first

An agreement before any file moves. Your rates and productivity data stay with your project, segregated, never carried into a competitor's bid.

Independent by structure

Our firm works directly on your project, with collaborators added only to match workload. No junior handoff and no house view to protect.

Effort quoted up front

You get the hours, the deliverables and the dates before you commit, so your own proposal is built on a real number.
