01Service Definition

What This Discipline Covers

Consultancy is the advisory part of the group's work: defining what should be inspected, specifying a method, supervising a third-party contractor, or reviewing findings so an owner can decide between repair, monitoring and replacement.

08FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you advise on works you do not execute yourselves?
Yes. Advisory and supervision scopes are contracted separately from execution.
Can you act as owner's representative during a tender?
Yes. We can write the specification, review submitted method statements and attend clarification meetings on the owner's behalf.
What do you need to start an assessment?
Drawings or as-built data where available, maintenance and incident history, previous inspection reports and the decision the owner needs to take.
Do you give a repair recommendation or only findings?
Both. Findings are reported factually, followed by options with their cost, downtime and asset-life consequences so the owner can decide.
Is the advice independent if the group can also carry out the works?
Advisory scopes are reported on their technical merits, and the report states clearly where execution by a group company is one of the options.
