Project Set Up

Getting the correct project organisation in place is a key element of all projects. Often businesses put too much reliance on the Project / Engineering Services Contractor to deal with all the project needs. But, no matter what kind of project contract you are considering, the client has the ultimate responsibility to make the project complete and successful.

The Project Set Up consultancy workshop helps to clarify the role of the client and the role of the engineering services company in the project and delivers a recommended project organisation and clear roles and responsibilities within the project. With the help and guidance of our senior consultants and their extensive client-side experience, it will identify and bridge the gap between the contractor services provided and client expectations. It also will bring forward requirements for the later stages of the project which it is important for the client to consider at the outset.
