Energy, industrial and heavy civil is home ground.

Experience across Canada, Europe and the USA covers energy, industrial and heavy civil work from early studies through tender, with estimating methods matched to project maturity and delivery requirements.

Home ground

Process, energy and industrial

Facilities priced from equipment lists and factored bulks before drawings exist, then carried through to control estimates as the design matures.

Carbon capture

Class 5 to 3 · Feasibility to budget

Capture, compression, storage and transport, where the interfaces between processes are where cost hides. Estimates run from technology comparisons at Class 5 through to budget estimates for CO₂ hubs and import terminals, with battery limits between capture, conditioning and offtake defined explicitly so no scope falls between owners.

Methanol and chemicals

Class 5 to 3 · Concept to budget

Process facilities priced from equipment lists and factored bulks long before drawings exist.

2 featured projects

Energy and power

Class 4 to 2 · Study to control

Generation, plant upgrades and grid interconnections that are often missing from the first budget.

5 featured projects

Industrial facilities

Class 3 to 1 · Brownfield and live plants

Expansions and brownfield tie-ins, where shutdown constraints set the productivity factor.

2 featured projects
Heavy civil and infrastructure

Ports, transport, tunnels and water

Crew and production-rate estimating for public owners and contractors, under hard bid, design-build and progressive delivery.

Port and terminal storage

Class 5 to 2 · Concept to bid

Container, bulk and liquid terminals, quays, shipyards and the marine works behind them. Fourteen featured assignments range from concept studies for greenfield terminals to bid support on brownfield expansions, with throughput, dredging and logistics assumptions clearly documented.

6 featured projects

Tunnelling

Class 3 to 1 · Bid and baseline

Ground conditions, method and productivity drive the number more than quantities do.

1 featured project

Heavy civil

Class 2 to 1 · Hard bid

Earthworks, structures, roads and drainage, priced on crews and production rates.

2 featured projects

Water and wastewater

Class 4 to 2 · Public procurement

Treatment and conveyance under public procurement, with estimates documented for tender and review.

3 featured projects

Transport infrastructure

Class 4 to 1 · All delivery models

Roads, rail and structures under every delivery method, including progressive design-build.

Selective work outside the core

One sector kept deliberately small, estimated with the same discipline as the rest.

Custom residential

Class 3 to 1 · Selective

Taken in small numbers, usually for clients who come back. Same discipline, smaller WBS.

Working in a sector that isn't here?

The method travels. If the work has a scope, a schedule and a budget, it can be estimated with the same discipline.
