our services
We define projects, build business
cases, engage stakeholders, secure
approvals, and manage construction.
project management and advisory
Providing strong management across all phases of a project’s lifecycle
Our project development services are built around our core expertise in program and project management. We are acutely aware of the different challenges faced in developing both greenfield and brownfield projects, and use this experience to drive superior outcomes for our clients across various project stages.
We have extensive experience in the preparation of business cases (strategic and final) not only for specific projects, but for programs of work. We engage stakeholders to secure project advocates, and ensure their wealth of experience helps to deliver great project outcomes.
We bring both contractor and client-side experience into the project delivery phase, including early contractor involvement models. We have particular experience in design management and the preparation, negotiation and administering of contracts on behalf of private sector and government clients.
We also have extensive experience in the development of major transport infrastructure projects. We understand what superior integrated transport and land use outcomes look like and how to achieve them. We understand what it means to align planning approvals strategies with delivery strategies and budget requirements. We understand that collaborative, relationship-based approaches to working are critical to project success when working as part of large multi-disciplinary teams on highly complex projects.
environment
Achieving better environmental outcomes while allowing flexibility of delivery
We have extensive planning approvals and environmental management experience working for and consulting to Government. Our team’s experience is diverse and includes roles in the pre-construction phase (project development, approvals strategy and advice and EIS delivery) and post approvals and construction phases (CEMP delivery, consistency and modification assessment and reporting).
We are adept at supporting the project development phase of projects, including options development and assessment processes, influencing design to drive improved environmental outcomes and working to communications strategies and with stakeholder engagement teams.
We understand the complexities of mega-project delivery and what it takes to develop and implement an approvals strategy to secure planning approval that, while providing the integrity of a robust impact assessment, can provide flexibility to cater for design optimisation and can also respond to complex delivery strategies and challenging program requirements.
engagement and social impact
Building stakeholder understanding and advocacy
Our team of engagement and social impact experts help make the social case for infrastructure.
Our engagement and social impact team has a wealth of experience in best-practice engagement and social sustainability methodologies to develop strategies that reduce risk, increase positive impacts and deliver benefit for communities. We are skilled at designing and facilitating workshops that bring stakeholders together to help identify and resolve problems and have particular expertise in deliberative and co-design processes. We are highly experienced in face-to-face and digital engagement methods and manage community issues with sensitivity and integrity. As politically astute practitioners, we balance community needs with the expectations of decision-makers and influencers.
Our engagement and social impact expertise has a strong visual communication edge. Working as part of integrated teams, or on one-off projects, our creative specialists transform complex concepts into easy-to-understand figures, charts and maps that aid decision-making and public consultation. Our portfolio includes business cases, Environmental Impact Statements and public-facing collateral for some of NSW’s largest infrastructure projects.
