SERVICES
Your capital projects represent the execution of your company’s strategy! “Doing the right thing at the right time” requires a thoroughly prepared decision basis for a capital project that also guarantees later for smooth performance and fewer surprises once committed.
Not all companies run their own project office and have standards for capital project preparation. Often employees who are the technical stakeholders are asked to lead the project but may need to gain experience gathering the necessary information for a solid basis. The result can lead to unintentional omissions of essential details that later cause time delays and cost increases.
We can guide your team to avoid these pitfalls. Recognizing the critical importance of upfront planning and definition, we can use or develop strategies to objectively assess readiness, effectively leverage strengths and conquer weaknesses.
We are a team of highly skilled and experienced project managers with an engineering background in the chemical, automotive, and oil & gas industries. We are committed to helping your organization to provide the basis to decide on your company strategy.
“Getting it done” – Your selected projects represent your company strategy! Good preparation during the decision-making process will now pay off with the ability to implement the project quickly and efficiently.

PROJECT EXECUTION
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Project cost stacking up without significant progress? Schedule slippage? Quality issues? Most often, projects get into a crisis mode due to a misaligned scope definition, employee overload, missed requirements in the project, and a lack of communication.
Resolving a project crisis requires immediate action to reduce the impact on cost, time, and team coherency.
We support your team in analyzing the root causes and defining solutions designed to bring the project back on track.
We advise foreign-owned businesses and American-owned businesses as they invest in operations across the United States . Whether building a new plant or acquiring an asset in the US. The process includes due diligence such as:
1. Finding the right site based on raw materials, utilities and transportation distances.
2. Reviewing and aligning company standards to align with US or European standards.
3. Assisting in defining the differences between the US and European design, construction, and safety standards and permitting requirements.
4. Develop strategies best suited to take a global design and tune it for execution in different US regions.
5. Prepare engineering and execution sequencing, document management, modularization, fabrication, procurement, construction, commissioning and start up.
4. Developing sourcing strategies that reflect your company’s intent, risk mitigation and execution practices for project procurement and implementation. Identification of favorable and risk laden terms and conditions with suggestions to reach agreements not impasses.
7. Optimizing the performance of different types of craft labor. Developing alternative concepts to overcome shortfalls, improve effectiveness, or provide parallel paths to improved outcomes. Workforce qualification, availability, and training demand.
5. Evaluating the plant and documentation health status regarding safety, maintenance status, capacity, expansion capabilities, and cost.
