Construction intelligence

Cost engineering, estimation, forecasting and project controls that give leadership a clear view of exposure, progress and commercial options.

Execution & market insight

Yard and facility assessment, market intelligence and risk identification to inform strategy before and during delivery.

Claims services

From file review to settlement support

Claim dossiers, quantum, delay and disruption analysis — prepared for commercial negotiation, with dispute-avoidance advice throughout.

How we work · 01

Listen & scope

We establish the commercial context, the contractual framework and the questions that matter before any analysis begins.

How we work · 02

Examine the record

Contract files, correspondence, programmes and cost data are reviewed systematically to separate fact from assertion.

How we work · 03

Analyse & quantify

Delay, disruption, variation and quantum are modelled with transparent assumptions and clear supporting schedules.

How we work · 04

Advise & support

Findings are translated into practical negotiation positions, settlement options or commercial recommendations.

Sectors

Energy and offshore infrastructure

We work where commercial complexity meets heavy engineering — upstream energy, floating production systems, and the expanding offshore wind supply chain.

Across the energy transition

Oil, gas, floating production and wind — one commercial language

Fabrication yards, vessels and contracting models increasingly span traditional offshore and renewables. We advise where those worlds meet.

Independence & integrity

Clear boundaries. Client-first recoveries.
