Technical consultancy
We help gas networks and other companies in a range of construction and utilities sectors drive their projects by providing both expert consultancy and competent people. We help our clients with scope development for their construction project and act as ‘their engineers’ for its duration by addressing all funding, bid, regulatory, procurement and risk requirements. We provide consultancy that ensures projects are transparent, accountable, and delivered on schedule – offering companies the headspace to get on with their own jobs at the same time.
By taking time to really understand your project objectives, we will provide the technical consultancy that best fits your project aims. We bring specialist expertise to the complex but complementary disciplines that sit within project start-up and delivery, from writing technical and apparatus specifications and best practice procedures, to the intricacies of bid development, asset and services procurement, and regulatory requirements.
Because such contrasting and specific skills can rarely be assembled in-house, technical consultancy can provide invaluable and expert resource for your project lifespan. Bringing our technical capability to your project will also ensure your people have the guidance and support they need to embrace efficient processes long term.
