Services
Preparing industrial projects for decision, and putting them back on track.
PMC Dynamics® works alongside owners, investors and lenders, and alongside their executive committees and boards. We bring project governance, independent technical judgment and experienced people at the stage of the project where they matter most.
For executive committees, boards, investors and banks
Independent support before the investment decision
- Private equity and investors
- Independent audit of industrial projects and support to the project before the investment decision: cost, schedule, technology and risk.
- Banks and lenders
- Independent technical advisor to confirm that the technical basis of a project financing is robust.
- Executive committees and boards
- We verify that your internal teams have prepared the project to the level its success requires, before the decision is taken.
Project governance and interim management
We establish the governance and the methodologies required to direct an industrial project through front-end loading, up to the investment decision. We then take the project director seat, on an interim basis where your organization requires it.
Typical deliverables: governance and stage-gate framework, project execution plan, capital cost estimate with accuracy class, master schedule, risk register with quantified exposure, decision package for the investment committee.
Front-end loading
Scope, technology choice, cost, schedule and risk defined to the level the decision requires, with value engineering to reduce capital cost.
Interim project director
Single point of accountability for the project, for the time needed to reach the decision.
Audit, Advisory and M&A support
An independent assessment of a project or of an asset, delivered in a form your executive committee, your board or your lenders can use. We identify what has drifted, reset the cost and schedule baseline and define the recovery plan.
- Project audit and recovery
- Review of projects that are not performing, in front-end or in execution, with re-baselining and a recovery plan.
- Lenders’ technical advisory
- Independent technical advisor to lenders in project finance, to confirm that the technical basis of the project is robust.
