Location selection
Choosing the right location is crucial. We will help you to consider:
- Accessibility: your site should be easy to reach for your suppliers and customers. Good transport links are essential
- Utilities: does the location have reliable access to water, electricity and other utilities?
- Labour market: the area should have a skilled workforce available to help with hiring the right people
- Regulations: local laws and regulations may affect how you operate
- Community impact: consider how the project will affect the local community including any likely objections
Not all concepts become projects. Feasibility studies help you to decide which concept should move forward
We help you to see the bigger picture and plan for the future
Plan development helps to define business cases and project plans
Feasibility
Technical, economic + regulatory. We will check if your project is technically possible – including site size, access, soil, buildings, flood risks and environment.
A cost-benefit analysis will establish if the project makes financial sense. Our due diligence process includes a review and advice on planning permission, land ownership and taxes.
Operation, schedule + risk. This stage checks that the project will meet your goals for operation.
Using our industry experience, we look at the bigger picture to make sure your project is viable. Your project must also finish on time. At this stage, our experts will estimate how long it will take and check the design, materials, budget and risks.
Masterplanning
Masterplanning involves detailed planning of the project. It is a key input to your budget proposal. Our experts will bring your plan to life and support you across:
- Design: create a detailed design of the facility, including layout, machinery placement and workflow
- Timeline: develop a timeline for the project. This helps to track progress and ensure deadlines are met
- Permits and Approvals: obtain all necessary permits and approvals before starting construction
- Sustainability: plan for sustainable practices, including energy-efficient designs and waste management
- Future Expansion: consider future growth. Design the facility in a way that allows for easy expansion
