Getting it right, right from the start

In the early days of any large project, important decisions have to be made about the procurement route you intend to adopt, and the professional team you need to assemble to follow that route. Getting these decisions right from the outset will have a major influence on the ultimate success of your project.

Our experience in dispute resolution gives us valuable insight into exactly what can go wrong on construction and engineering projects and the steps that could have been taken to avoid failure. We often see projects where the choice of an inappropriate procurement route, or the use of poorly considered contractual arrangements, have made a dispute virtually inevitable.

If you are embarking on a major construction programme, Brewer Consulting can make an invaluable contribution right from the start with procurement advice that includes best practice in the selection and appointment of consultants and contractors.

Because we are a specialist practice, we are wholly independent of designers, project managers, cost consultants and contractors. This makes us uniquely placed to give you impartial advice and assistance during the early stages of a project.

As a service to our clients, we produce regularly-updated guides and manuals that build upon existing procedures, and are designed to raise those procedures to 'best practice' standard.

We can extend this service into the implementation phase of projects through in-house training programmes, and can advise on ways to evaluate the effectiveness of new procedures in your organisation. This audit role provides a useful platform for the continuing development of your employees and the procedures they follow.

Government bodies and international businesses trust Brewer Consulting to manage the procurement stage of major projects throughout the world. Because Brewer Consulting is a completely independent consultancy, our clients know that we are totally focused on delivering the best solutions for them.

Please contact us to find out how Brewer Consulting can help your organisation get its major projects right, right from the start. We would be delighted to send you some more detailed case studies, or arrange an informal meeting with one of our specialists.
