Revolutionising The Water Industry

Strategic Advisory And Delivery Consultancy For UK Water Infrastructure

Our Expertise

  • We work alongside clients and delivery teams to identify opportunities to reduce cost, improve efficiency, and enhance outcomes without compromising quality or compliance. From concept through to delivery, our value engineering approach challenges assumptions, evaluates alternatives, and ensures investment decisions are grounded in whole-life value. We have experience applying value management frameworks across complex AMP programmes and capital delivery portfolios.

  • We provide expert planning and project controls services across the full project lifecycle. Our team works with industry-standard tools including Primavera P6 and NEC4 contract frameworks to develop, maintain, and analyse schedules, manage compensation events, and deliver meaningful performance reporting. Services include baseline schedule development, variance analysis, early warning management, programme health checks, and delay analysis. We help clients and contractors alike maintain programme certainty and contractual compliance.

  • We provide experienced programme and project management support across the full lifecycle of water infrastructure schemes. From mobilisation through to close-out, we embed alongside client teams to drive delivery, manage interfaces, and maintain momentum. Our approach draws on industry best practice and is underpinned by robust planning and controls including P6 scheduling and NEC4 administration — ensuring projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to the required quality. Whether you need senior delivery leadership or structured project management support, we tailor our involvement to what your programme needs.

  • We help clients build risk and opportunity management into the heart of their delivery approach rather than treating it as a compliance exercise. Working across project and programme levels, we facilitate risk workshops, develop and maintain risk registers, and provide quantitative risk analysis to support contingency planning and investment decisions. We align our approach with NEC4 early warning obligations and wider governance frameworks, ensuring risk is visible, owned, and actively managed throughout delivery. Our work helps organisations protect programme outcomes and demonstrate control to regulators and stakeholders.

  • Strong commercial management is critical to successful infrastructure delivery. We support clients and contractors in managing the commercial aspects of complex water sector contracts, with particular expertise in NEC4 administration including compensation event management, programme acceptance, and final account settlement. We help organisations establish robust commercial processes, resolve disputes before they escalate, and develop internal capability to administer contracts effectively. Our support spans both employer and contractor perspectives, giving us a well-rounded view of where commercial risk sits and how to manage it.

  • Delivering water infrastructure requires more than technical expertise — it demands clear communication, structured engagement, and an understanding of the regulatory environment. We support clients in developing stakeholder engagement strategies, managing interfaces with regulators including Ofwat and the Environment Agency, and preparing the governance and reporting structures needed to demonstrate programme control. Whether you are navigating AMP8 investment planning, managing community and environmental stakeholders, or responding to regulatory scrutiny, we help you engage with clarity and credibility.
