SERVICES
Energy, carbon, electrification, metering, Eight services, each tied to commercial value.
Independent Peer Review & Technical Advisory
Third-party design challenge, regulatory and environmental alignment, and subject-matter-expert advice for controlled environments, health, life sciences and critical infrastructure. Risks identified before procurement — expensive assumptions challenged early.
Tender Strategy, Procurement & Proposal Vetting
Technical returnables, scope gap analysis, assumptions and exclusions review, proposal comparison and capability assessment. Clearer scopes, stronger tender comparisons, confident award recommendations.
Building Services Advisory
Review of mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, fire, vertical transport, ICT, security, controls, medical gases and specialist systems. Systems reviewed for performance, compliance, buildability and operational reality.
Design Interfaces, Interface Management & Buildability
Interface matrices, plantroom and riser reviews, stakeholder and vendor interfaces, access and replacement strategies, staging and shutdown planning. Discipline gaps closed, construction practicality verified.
Commissioning, FAT / SAT / IST & Validation
Commissioning strategy and documentation, readiness reviews, witness planning, integrated systems testing and validation evidence. Systems proven under operational conditions, handover evidence complete.
QA/ QC- Site Inspections & Verification
Independent workmanship walkdowns, installation-readiness checks, start-ups, and performance and integration verification. Quality independently verified, defects tracked to close-out.
Sustainability, ESD & Net Zero Pathways
Energy, carbon, electrification, metering, BMS / SCADA, Green Star alignment, seasonal tuning and OPEX / CAPEX optimisation. Net zero and ESG objectives embedded from strategy.
Project Management, Interface Management & Delivery Assurance
User briefing, stakeholder coordination, early-works planning, superintendent support, procurement and contract administration, interface registers, risk and action tracking. End-to-end delivery assurance, certain handover.
