If this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place
You’re carrying delivery risk on bespoke projects
Steelwork, automation, mechanical handling, fabrication, installation, or complex industrial systems — often fixed-price, often time-pressured, often sold on confidence.
Projects start with good intent
But scope boundaries aren’t fully locked early enough.
Assumptions slip in.
Variations get absorbed “just to keep things moving”.
The problem appears too late
By the time margin or cashflow pressure becomes visible, the project is already committed — carrying risk that was never explicitly priced, approved, or owned.
This is how good teams lose money quietly.
Independent Project Delivery Review
A deliberate pause to expose where commercial risk has already entered a project — before it becomes unrecoverable.
This is not consultancy.
Not project management.
Not a sales conversation.
It’s a calm, evidence-based second opinion focused on decisions — not opinions.
You leave with clarity — not reassurance.
The review surfaces:
Start with a Project Delivery Review
How clients typically work with EPD
STEP 1 — MAKE THE RISK VISIBLE
One project is reviewed to identify where commercial and delivery risk is actually entering the job — not where people assume it is.
STEP 2 — STOP FURTHER COMMERCIAL DAMAGE
If a project is already drifting, a short, focused intervention stabilises scope, resets decision ownership, and prevents further loss.
STEP 3 — PREVENT REPEAT EXPOSURE
Where businesses run multiple projects, ongoing independent oversight stops the same failure patterns repeating.
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 already drifting commercially or operationally.
Used when scope has slipped, decisions are lagging, and delay will only increase exposure.
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 complexity is high and commercial exposure isn’t obvious from drawings alone.
Problems prevented here never appear later.
Why this approach works
Judgement forged in real delivery risk
Not theory. Not frameworks. Decisions made where consequences are real.
Commercially Grounded
Focused on margin, cashflow, and exposure — not activity for its own sake.
Independent by design
No delivery bias. No internal politics. Clear judgement when it matters.
Plain-Spoken Outputs
Findings written for directors and decision-makers — not consultants.
Led by real delivery experience
Start with one project
If a project decision is about to be made, this is the moment to challenge it properly —
or accept the risk that comes with proceeding unchecked.
Independent project delivery reviews and commercial oversight for engineering and fabrication businesses.
