Pick a half-day
No payment now; we invoice afterwards. If it gives you no new insight, we don't send an invoice.
Not a model we happen to like, but the six places where energy projects run aground in practice. We go through all six, with your documents on the table.
Money
Cost estimate per scenario, contingency for additional work, and what a variant really costs. The number your steering committee works with.
Risk
The risk register: how likely, what it costs, and who owns the mitigation.
Organisation
Who takes which decision, and whether they are actually allowed to. Delays sit here more often than in the engineering.
Time
The critical path, the lead time of long-lead equipment, and which date is therefore truly fixed.
Information
Whether your steering committee can actually take a decision on what is on the table now, or whether the documents contradict each other.
Quality
Design choices, standards, and what will later be rejected by the grid operator or the permitting authority.
This is what you get
Don't expect this
1 working day
You pick a half-day. Within one working day, one of us calls to confirm it and to ask which documents we may review in advance. Then we come prepared.
3 to 4 hours
With your project manager and someone who holds the budget. We go through the six areas, look at the site and ask the questions you would rather not hear.
5 working days
With a short explanation by phone or in your steering committee. Then you decide: press on yourself, or have us run Operation Control.
Because it is work: a half-day with two senior experts, plus a dossier afterwards. And because the price filters out the non-serious. We would rather work a day for someone who means it than hold ten free introduction meetings. That is why you get our full attention.
If, after the dossier, you feel it has been of no use to you, we don't send an invoice. No conditions, no discussion. Your honest opinion is worth more to us than €250.
At minimum the project manager and someone who controls the budget. Ideally also whoever deals with the grid operator. The more truth at the table, the sharper the dossier.
Please do, but it is not required. What helps: the application to the grid operator, the current schedule and the latest steering committee report. If nothing comes, we work with what is said at the table.
No. The dossier is yours, including the recommendations. Many clients take on the first moves themselves. If you want us to continue, that is Operation Control, at a fixed price and no hourly billing.
After that, your steering committee can take a decision again.
