Our range of

Delivery

services include:

Program & Portfolio Management

Establishing, maintaining, monitoring and reporting via an assured program and/or infrastructure portfolio management system can mean the difference between the success and failure of a project.

Commercial, schedule and risk objectives, performance and reputation depend on successful management at any stage of a project’s lifecycle.

We advise both private and public sector clients on all aspects of project delivery. We provide practical, timely and tailored solutions that are cost-effective and achieve results.

Our team has implemented program and portfolio management systems for water and wastewater facilities, rail, gas and petroleum facilities, natural disaster relief, universities, and transport projects, including roads, bridges and other associated infrastructure.

We assist our clients to manage governance changes to programs and can minimise disruption across project delivery, offering sound advice and forecasting.

‍

Understanding our clients’ objectives is crucial to successful project delivery and ongoing operation. We work with our clients to provide comprehensive program planning and portfolio management to ensure positive outcomes.

‍

Project Design & Management

Our multi-disciplinary team has a proven track record for managing the design and delivery of complex infrastructure and understands the importance of achieving quality, time and budgetary targets.

We also have extensive experience in contract administration, offering full delivery services from contract management, constructability and design oversight, to general project management.

Our project delivery portfolio includes rail, major roads, tunnels, airports, water treatment facilities, building, defence projects, major civil and structural works, and disaster relief.

Our team’s transparent management style provides our clients with certainty on complex infrastructure projects.

We integrate with client delivery teams and understand the importance of clear and collaborative communication to see successful outcomes.

‍

Schedule Management

Effective schedule management leads to time and cost savings across any project. Project schedules have many drivers which need to be considered to achieve objectives.

Our team has extensive experience creating and managing schedules across a broad range of industries and sectors.

We are proficient in a range of scheduling software - includingPrimavera P6 and Microsoft Project - and can interrogate project programs and run detailed program analysis to increase efficiency.

This detailed analysis of project scheduling is a critical project management tool and helps keep projects on track, analysing claims for real impact and assisting clients to manage project costs effectively.

We use innovative solutions to accelerate project programs and identify areas for parallel work streams and opportunities within the program.

‍

Cost Management

Understanding client objectives and working with our clients to achieve comprehensive cost planning and management is crucial to the success of a project.

We can advise on detailed cost management at an individual project level, through to the design, review and implementation of PMO cost management systems across portfolios and organisations.

We have much experience in cost management across water and waste, rail, gas and petroleum, hydrogen, natural disaster relief and transport projects.

Establishing, maintaining, monitoring and reporting via an assured program and/or portfolio cost management system can mean the difference between the success or failure of a project.

Commercial, schedule and risk objectives, performance and reputation depend on successful cost management at any lifecycle stage.

‍

Asset Management

After considerable capital investment in a project, well-managed ownership, operation and disposal of assets is critical to overall project success to ensure business case objectives are met.

Asset management requires strategies in sustaining public infrastructure and private assets, taking into consideration the depreciation, maintenance and rehabilitation of each asset.

Comprehensive asset management is built on a foundation of technical engineering knowledge, project objectives and value-for-money maintenance solutions.

We understand that a systematic approach to the governance and realisation of value from assets over their whole lifecycle is critical.

We provide comprehensive advice for all aspects of infrastructure asset management during the entire lifecycle - including design, construction, commissioning, operating, maintaining, repairing, modifying, replacing and decommissioning/disposal.

Our approach is to determine client objectives and deliver outcomes that enable informed business decisions.

‍

Contract Administration

Simple contract arrangements that protect commercial interests and clearly identify the obligations for all stakeholders provide certainty and minimise risk.

Contract administration is about all parties understanding what is required of them. Issues that are solved at the coalface and are managed progressively, result in superior outcomes and improved relationships.

Our approach is to determine the commercial risk and liability outcomes to assist clients in obtaining the best solution to suit business objectives.

We can advise at any stage of a project’s lifecycle across all contract forms for both the private and public sector, offering advice that is practical, timely and tailored to achieve results.

‍

Cost Estimation, Review & Evaluation

Effective infrastructure cost estimating prior to project commencement, and the management of costs throughout delivery are essential for project success.

We have undertaken first principles cost estimates across numerous sectors and industries, advising on costs at each stage of a project’s lifecycle.

We expertly identify cost and commercial risks during the estimation process, identify appropriate management strategies to reduce (or to remove) unnecessary costs, and ensure knowledge is shared to enable clients to make informed decisions.

As projects continue to increase in complexity due to technology and innovation, these elements bring both opportunity and risk.

We take a hands-on approach and can facilitate consultation and negotiation with stakeholders, including community organisations, government and traditional owners.

‍

Risk Management

Effective infrastructure risk management is critical to organisational and project success, minimising unexpected costs and forecasting potential issues.

Identification, evaluation and prioritisation of risks ensures organisations can identify risks before they become an issue, and allows for opportunities to be identified and realised.

We have developed risk management processes, implemented systems and monitored risks for organisations and projects across a range of different sectors, and are experienced in the application of ISO31000 and other risk management systems.

In managing risks across a broad range of projects, we have directed risk and opportunities workshops for a variety of clients – each designed and managed in a way that is unique to their business needs.

Best practice project management, unique governance structures and organisational risk appetite drive the development of project or portfolio risk management systems.

These systems and frameworks allow teams to manage and escalate risks and opportunities to executive management and boards to maintain transparent reporting and provide confidence to all stakeholders.

‍

Dispute Resolution

We provide strategic dispute resolution solutions across a wide range of industries during the project delivery phase to avoid expense and project disruption.

Where disputes cannot be avoided, we have the expertise to support a range of resolution methods in consultation with legal professionals, including mediation, expert determination and arbitration as required.

When engaged, our approach is to determine the commercial risk and liability outcomes available to assist in obtaining the best solution.

We support our clients at every stage of a project lifecycle across all contract forms, including cost plus margin, lump sum, design and construct, and alliance/collaborative partnership arrangements.

We develop strategies to manage dispute risk through sound, reliable and robust analyses during each stage of a project, including procurement and commercial agreements, delivery or project completion negotiation.

Our team has supported disputes, mediation, expert determination(s) and arbitrations for mines, water and wastewater facilities, airports, rail, mineral processing plants, ports, roads and bridges and other associated infrastructure.
