Engineering & Execution Support for Owners
Independent Eyes on Every Number, Vendor, and Schedule
Every party on your project — contractor, consultant, licensor, supplier — negotiates from experience of dozens of projects. Most owners build once in a decade. That information gap costs money, time, and sleep. We close it by putting industry benchmarks, verified vendor records, and independent price checks on your side of the table.
We work for the owner. No one else.
01
Project Benchmarking
Is your project’s cost, schedule, and scope in line with what similar projects actually took?
We compare the time, cost, and impact assumed for your project against industry standards for projects of a similar type and scale. Where your plan deviates from the reference class — too optimistic or too padded — we tell you, with numbers.
What we benchmark
- Overall schedule and phase-wise durations against comparable plants
- CAPEX intensity and cost structure versus similar-type projects
- Resource, utility, and impact assumptions built into the plan
- Deviations from the reference class — flagged with likely causes
What you receive
A project benchmarking report comparing your time, cost, and impact assumptions against the industry standard — with variance analysis and clear recommendations on where to push back.
02
Procurement Benchmarking
Does your procurement stand up to what the industry actually pays and signs?
We review whether the procurement cost, technical fit, and supply agreement terms fall in line with industry standards. Because we understand the raw-material cost build-up on the supplier’s side, we can estimate their margin — and show you how similar procurements were structured elsewhere.
What we examine
- Procurement cost versus industry benchmarks for the same package
- Technical fit — does the specification match your actual duty?
- Supply agreement terms: tenure, escalation, penalties, guarantees
- Supplier raw-material cost build-up and estimated margin
- Insights from similar procurements in comparable projects
What you receive
A procurement benchmarking report covering cost, technical fit, and agreement terms — including the supplier’s estimated raw-material cost and margin, and lessons from similar procurements.
03
Vendor Suggestion & Scouting
Which contractors and suppliers will actually deliver — not just bid well?
We help you select contractors and suppliers with a verifiable record of past performance and a credible risk management strategy. A polished bid says little; delivery history, claims behaviour, and how a vendor handles trouble say everything.
How we scout
- Shortlisting from vendors with proven delivery in your project type
- Past performance verification — schedule, quality, claims history
- Assessment of each vendor’s risk management strategy
- Financial and capacity checks before you commit
- Support through pre-qualification and technical bid evaluation
What you receive
A ranked vendor shortlist with past-performance records and risk-management assessment for each — so your award decision rests on evidence, not brochures.
04
Price Verification
Is the price you’ve been quoted the price you should be paying?
Before you commit to a vendor or contractor quotation, we verify it against current market rates and an independent should-cost build-up. You’ll know whether a quote is fair, padded, or suspiciously low — before it becomes a contract.
What we verify
- Quoted prices against current market rates for equivalent scope
- Independent should-cost build-up: materials, fabrication, margin
- Comparison with recent purchases of similar equipment and services
- Padding, hidden exclusions, and underquoting risk in each offer
What you receive
A price verification note for each package — fair-price range, gaps against the quote, and concrete negotiation inputs your team can take straight into the room.
05
Project Risk Estimate
Is your critical path really critical — and what has the plan overlooked?
We go through your project deliverables and Work Breakdown Structure line by line, and check whether the critical path has been selected well — or whether risks have been overlooked that could surface mid-execution, when they are most expensive to fix.
What we review
- WBS completeness — missing scope, orphan deliverables, weak interfaces
- Critical path validation: is it the right path, correctly sequenced?
- Risks overlooked in planning — technical, procurement, statutory
- Deliverable-level risk mapping with severity and likelihood
What you receive
A project risk report highlighting whether the critical path is well selected, the risks the plan has overlooked, and prioritised mitigation actions for each.
How an engagement works
Simple, document-driven, and confidential.
Share your documents
Project plan, quotations, WBS, or supply agreements — under confidentiality, in whatever state they are in.
Independent analysis
We benchmark, verify, and stress-test against industry standards and our own ground-level project data.
Report and walkthrough
You receive a written report, and we sit with your team to walk through every finding and what to do about it.
Why an independent owner’s engineer?
Consultants want scope. Contractors want change orders. Suppliers want margin. None of that makes them dishonest — it makes them negotiators. Our only deliverable is the accuracy of what we tell you, built on senior operating experience across specialty chemical projects worth over ₹500 crore. When we sign off on a number, a vendor, or a schedule, it is because we would accept it on our own project.
