Independent capital project advisory
Better capital decisions, from first estimate to final handover
NeoGen gives owners, contractors, and investors an independent, evidence-based view of their projects, and the contracts to match how the work is actually delivered.
Who we work with
The questions clients bring to NeoGen
Owners need confidence at each gate: that the scope is defined, the targets are realistic, and the team can deliver before capital is committed.
Is this project ready for final investment?
Readiness reviews →Are our cost and schedule targets realistic?
Benchmarking →Why do our projects keep missing their targets?
System improvement →
Contractors win on price and keep margin on delivery. They need to know where bids and outcomes diverge, and to prove performance to the owners they bid for.
How accurate are our bids against actual outcomes?
Benchmarking →Where does productivity leak between plant and site?
Cost and controls →Do our contracts protect margin when scope changes?
Legal and contracts →
Investors and lenders rely on a sponsor's plan. An independent view tests whether the plan, the team, and the contracts can carry the headline numbers.
Is the sponsor's cost and schedule plan credible?
Project assurance →What risks sit behind the headline figures?
Project assurance →Is this project recovering, or drifting further?
Health checks →

Insights
Perspectives from NeoGen
Five signs a project is not ready for final investment
Most projects that struggle in execution showed warning signs at sanction. Five of them can be checked in a week.
Why contractors should benchmark their own portfolio first
A contractor's completed projects hold the most useful benchmark it will ever have. Few use it.
When the contract and the schedule disagree
Change orders and claims turn on one question: does the contract describe the project that is actually being built?
Facing a major capital decision?
A short, confidential discussion is the quickest way to see whether independent evidence would help.
