PROCUREMENT OPTIMIZED PROJECT DELIVERY 

 

We work with clients to minimize risk, capture savings and increase efficiency by integrating early procurement planning in our project delivery approach.

 

Through early buyer integration with multi-disciplinary teams, value and economy are improved through the study of alternate design concepts, materials, equipment, vendors, and methods without compromising the functional and value objectives of the client.

 

While developing the procurement strategy supplier documentation and support requirements are established early as part of the selection criteria to streamline CQV and installation activities - giving clients more control.
