The practice
Support from execution strategy to contract close-out.
02
Market intelligence
Current, sourced views of yard occupancy, day-rate pressure, steel and labour, and who is actually winning work, tailored to the client’s execution brief.
03
Yard capacity & capability
We evaluate facilities, production resources, workload, logistics and relevant delivery experience against the proposed scope. Assessments identify execution constraints, information gaps and areas requiring further verification.
04
Commercial evaluation
We evaluate tenders on a consistent basis, examining scope, qualifications, pricing assumptions, productivity and schedule exposure. Deliverables may include comparative assessments, clarification schedules and documented award recommendations.
05
Dispute mitigation
We support the development of commercial positions and dispute mitigation strategies for fabrication and specialist subcontracts to achieve amicable remedies.
06
Delay and claims assessment
We analyse project records, schedules, construction methods and costs to assess delay, disruption and contractual changes. Findings are presented in structured reports supporting commercial resolution and, where required, the client’s legal advisers.
Theatre of work
Regional project coverage
Our advisory focus covers offshore fabrication and project execution in Asia and the Middle East. Assignments are assessed individually, with the delivery approach agreed according to project location, scope and access requirements.
