Four services. Three ways to add capacity.

Any core service can start as a defined project, respond to changing workload or become ongoing dedicated support. The service defines the work; the engagement model defines how it fits around your team.

01 / Defined requirement

Project-based support

A clear package of construction support with agreed inputs, deliverables and review points.

  • Tender or estimating packages
  • Drawing and documentation packages
  • Defined project administration work

Additional support when tenders, active projects, backlog or changing demand put pressure on the team.

  • Workload spikes
  • Temporary extra capacity
  • Backlog and changing project demand
