What We Do
Helping Business Leaders Make The Best CapEx Decisions
We work with you and your stakeholders to understand your business drivers and your investment, no matter where you are in the process.
Hand in hand with your operations, project and supply chain teams, we leverage your data and guided by your strategic intent, we put the best options in front of you, so you can have confidence in the success of your capital investment.
-
We get to the bottom of the problem - we ask the right questions, and really listen to your answers
We talk to you and your teams to compile and stress test each of your base input parameters, projects objectives, constraints, restrictions and assumptions.
-
We model the true, full lifecycle cost to your business of your proposed solution
If you don’t yet have one, we’ll work with the design standards that your organisation or your industry has adopted to make one. This becomes the base case for comparison purposes and provides a projection of the full lifecycle cost to your business, including carbon impact, to build or install and operate.
-
We build an unrestricted, unconstrained, theoretical solution
A solution influenced by our understanding of your inputs, desired outputs and assumptions – to establish the potential boundaries of what’s possible – what if shift patterns could be flexed; what if location or space wasn’t a constraint; what if system reliability could change?
-
We build a set of scenarios based upon your proposed and the theoretical solution
Scenarios based upon likelihood of your inputs and output requirements playing out as projected in what we all know is an unknown future.
-
We identify the ‘sweet spots’
Peaks and troughs in the model that highlight small, but likely or achievable, changes in input or requirement that produce a disproportionate benefit in performance, risk or ‘cost’ over the lifecycle.
-
We give you clear options
Knowing what your key drivers are, we provide you with a set of options (each defined by a ‘sweet spot’), with clarity on what is required to implement them, that will deliver greater Whole Life Value to your business. We support you in choosing the most appropriate option to deliver that disproportionate value, through either improved performance, reduced CapEx or OpEx, reduced business risk or carbon impact, or a combination thereof.
We guide your stakeholders, team and supply chain through detailed design and implementation, giving you the confidence that your investment delivers against your business need, now and for years to come.

RED FLAGS REVIEW
Preparing to finalise a major CapEx decision?
Our Red Flags Review is designed to quickly and efficiently cross-check any CapEx proposal in front of you now.
Red Flags is not a full in-depth validation. It’s a light touch pass across the models, data inputs, technical solutions used to support the proposal presented.
It may be a light touch, but in reality we are leveraging a set of indicators, questions and insights that we’ve developed over many years. It’s surprisingly efficient and sensitive at detecting problems like:
- Critical assumptions that may have been hidden.
- Engineering solutions that have been over-specified.
- Insufficient datasets and dimensions used to build the analysis models.
- Missed foresight into potential future scenarios.
We will highlight the major areas to improve the performance of your project… and we work quickly…
You’ll have a Red Flags Report on your desk within 7 days.
