The practice
Independent technical and commercial consultancy to owners, EPCs and yards — execution strategy, market intelligence, yard capacity and capability, commercial evaluation, dispute mitigation, and delay and claims assessment.
01
We assess project requirements, delivery schedules, construction methodologies and contracting strategies to develop practical execution recommendations. Our reviews address the principal risks to delivery.
02
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
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
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
We support the development of commercial positions and dispute mitigation strategies for fabrication and specialist subcontracts to achieve amicable remedies.
06
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.
01 — Sprint
Two to four weeks. Contract and project files in, a written strategy or claim-worthiness note out. Used before a tender, a yard award, or a decision to prosecute a claim.
02 — Retainer
Sitting with the commercial team through tender evaluation, subcontract negotiation, remeasurement and cost-to-complete. Monthly capacity and market notes included.
03 — Mandate
A defined dispute. We assemble the dossier, the particulars and the quantum, and stay through commercial negotiation and settlement.
Engagement
Services are provided to business clients under written consultancy agreements defining the scope, deliverables, fees and payment terms. Engagements may be structured as fixed-fee assignments, time-based consultancy, ongoing advisory retainers and/or success-based commissions.
Ignarva provides advisory services and does not act as the construction contractor or receive and disburse project or settlement funds on behalf of clients.
