If this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place
You deliver bespoke engineering projects
Steelwork, automation, mechanical handling, fabrication, installation, or complex industrial systems — often fixed-price, often under time pressure.
Projects start with good intent
But scope boundaries aren’t always locked down early enough. Assumptions creep in. Variations get absorbed “just to keep things moving”.
Problems surface late in the project
By the time cost or cashflow pressure becomes visible, the project is already committed — carrying risk that was never explicitly priced or approved.
Independent Project Delivery Review
A structured, independent review of a live or recent engineering project, focused on how scope, assumptions, and decisions are affecting commercial risk.
This is not consultancy.
Not project management.
Not a sales conversation.
It’s a calm, evidence-based second opinion.
Start with a Project Delivery Review
How clients typically work with EPD
Step 1 – Diagnose
We review one project to identify where commercial and delivery risk is really entering the job.
Step 2 – Intervene
If a project is already drifting, a short, focused intervention can stabilise scope and stop further damage.
Step 3 – Protect
For some businesses, ongoing independent oversight prevents the same issues repeating on future projects.
No obligation.
No long-term tie-ins.
Just decisions based on what the work actually shows.
Support options
When more help is required
Project Rescue Sprint
A short, focused intervention to stabilise a live project that’s drifting commercially or operationally.
Used when scope has slipped, decisions are lagging, or margin exposure is increasing.
Designed to stop further loss — not rewrite history.
Retained Project Delivery Oversight
Ongoing independent oversight on live engineering projects to keep scope controlled, decisions deliberate, and margins where they were priced.
Used when multiple projects are live and early warning matters more than firefighting.
Calm projects don’t happen by accident.
Pre-Quote Commercial Intervention
Independent challenge at quote stage to stress-test scope, assumptions, and delivery risk before they become contractual commitments.
Used when project complexity is high or commercial exposure isn’t obvious from the drawings alone.
Problems prevented here never appear later.
Why this approach works
25+ Years of Real Delivery Experience
Hands-on involvement across engineering, fabrication, automation, and installation.
Commercially Grounded
Focused on margin, cashflow, and risk — not theory or frameworks.
Independent Perspective
No delivery bias. No internal politics. Just clear judgement.
Plain-Spoken Outputs
Clear findings, written for decision-makers, not consultants.
Led by real delivery experience
Start with one project
A short pause at the right moment can prevent expensive surprises later.
If you want clearer scope, calmer delivery, and fewer commercial shocks, start with an independent review.
