Resources

We support oil, gas and resources projects on schedule control, contemporaneous records and the forensic analysis that holds up when timelines and entitlements are contested.

What we bring

Built for contract scrutiny from day one

Resources projects run on contracts that scrutinise time and entitlement closely. We embed planning, controls and forensic discipline so the position is built while delivery is live - not reconstructed under pressure.

  • Records made contemporaneously

    Notices, progress and impact captured while the work is live - so the contractual story is intact when it is tested.

  • Forensic analysis on demand

    Delay, disruption and variation analysis aligned to SCL Protocol and AACE 29R-03 - run by the same practitioners who do the live planning.

  • EPC & subcontract oversight

    Owner-side review of EPC and subcontract schedules - structure, logic, baselines and float discipline assessed against the contract.

How we engage

Engaged early, defensible from day one

Resources contracts reward early discipline. We embed alongside controls to protect entitlement live, or come in once a position has crystallised.

  1. Position assessment

    Review the contract, the schedule and the records to determine what is actually defensible - and where the gaps are.

  2. Stabilise & protect

    Where the project is live, tighten the schedule, structure the records and put compliant notice and EOT discipline in place.

  3. Run the weekly cycle

    Status, lookahead, EVM, risk and reporting - owned alongside the team, with entitlement preserved week by week.

  4. Forensic & resolution

    Where a dispute develops, the same practitioners run delay analysis, package the submission and support negotiation or proceedings.

What good looks like

Outcomes that survive contract scrutiny

  1. Schedules, baselines and records aligned to the contract
  2. Entitlement preserved through compliant notices and records
  3. Delay analysis aligned to SCL Protocol and AACE 29R-03
  4. Settlements achieved where the facts support them

“The records made in the first weeks of delay decide what's recoverable. By the time positions harden, the cheapest route through is usually the one already gone.”
