We help clients with capital productivity in all business areas, project types, and stages: portfolio optimization, project concept and design, construction, contract and contractor management, contract close-out, and commissioning support.

Better Forecasting for Large Capital Projects. We help conduct technology and target scans for investors and entrants from adjacent businesses and offer guidance on developing entry strategies, capturing opportunities, and building scale. We help companies devise strategies and business models that capitalize on the enormous advantages offered by “closed loop” production and consumption systems, such as secure long-term access to resources. We help clients reassess the logic for allocating capital expenditure throughout the business and redesign planning and budgeting processes to link project funding to corporate strategy and value-creation potential. In generation, we provide end-to-end support on investment projects across all technologies and including building new power stations and refurbishment projects. In transmission, we help reduce costs, improve reliability, and increase customer affordability for large project portfolios; and improve lands and rights processes, and implement construction techniques in major time-critical corridor projects.

Our strategy employs a relative-value investment process to identify securities that we believe are mispriced relative to underlying assets and concerns. Our analysts incorporate both quantitative and qualitative factors in their estimates, including management, strategy, asset quality, financial strength and corporate structure. Our evaluation takes into account the varying business models of real estate companies, as well as differences in risk and monetary policies.

We deliver predictive project analysis by coupling historical project results with forward-looking engineering, procurement, and construction market intelligence to build a fact-based range of cost and schedule outcomes. Cost and schedule diagnostics identify critical risks and opportunities that could make a substantial impact on your project business case, and contractor diligence helps you understand what is achievable in a given market based on global trends, local competition, and contractor capabilities.
