Programme Advisory
Our Services
Strategic Advisory
We help clients tackle strategic and organisational challenges to ensure they not only deliver the right projects at the right time, but also deliver them successfully. Our expertise spans providing strategic advice to maximise value across capital project portfolios, including portfolio prioritisation, goal definition, and alignment with strategic objectives. We have deep experience supporting project owners in evaluating procurement and contracting models from global mega-infrastructure projects to programme implementation. Our capital delivery transformation services empower large infrastructure owners to enhance how they deliver major projects across their portfolios, improving organisational capability, optimising systems and processes, and ensuring projects are delivered more safely, cost-effectively, and on budget.
Supervision & Safety
We support our clients in complex rail environments by providing site supervisory advisory and detailed construction methodology inputs, enabling safer delivery of complex works. Our site-based expertise is drawn from personnel with a extensive experience in heavy and light rail delivery, spanning civils, rail systems and electrification. We add value to delivery through the full project lifecycle, from design (surveys) and construction support through commissioning. We bring proven expertise in site quality assurance, supervision, and safety through developing safe methods of work, reviewing work package plans, and conducting proactive site tours and inspections.
Sponsorship & Business Case
Our project sponsorship function is focused on helping organisations establish strong sponsorship governance to drive project success from the outset. We support the full lifecycle, from early-stage feasibility and concept development, ensuring objective alignment and assessing portfolio-wide impacts through to the development of strategic, outline, and full business cases. We work closely with clients to establish and embed robust sponsorship frameworks, enabling clear accountability, effective decision-making, and sustained project oversight.
Third-Party Assurance & Audit
We have established ourselves as industry leaders in capital project and programme assurance, giving project owners the confidence that proposals are robust, realistic, and represent value for money ahead of critical internal and government investment decisions. Our teams maintain independence while working collaboratively with owners, delivery partners, and general contractors to deliver comprehensive assurance across key value drivers. This includes scope definition and requirements, commercial and contracting principles, base cost estimate and target price validation, schedule feasibility and optimisation, construction sequencing and methodologies, and rigorous risk and opportunity assessment.
Process & Government Improvement
Establishing effective and fit-for-purpose governance, processes, and procedures is critical to the successful delivery of major infrastructure projects and programmes. We support owners at both project and organisational levels, by enhancing their internal delivery capabilities, strengthening governance structures, optimising delivery frameworks and project lifecycles, and advising on the integration of digital solutions. Our approach includes strategic interventions, upskilling internal teams and embedding long-term capability improvements.
