DC.ADVISORY / 004

Vendor & EPC Evaluation.
Independent. Vendor-neutral. Owner-aligned.

We assess EPC, MEP, and OEM proposals on the owner's behalf. Commercial terms, technical compliance, schedule realism, and lifecycle cost — separated from the marketing layer.

[ WHEN TO ENGAGE ]

Engage before the RFP is issued, not after bids are received. Most evaluations fail because the criteria were written by the eventual winner.

[ REPRESENTATIVE OUTCOMES ]

  • Award changed after schedule realism review surfaced a six-month gap.
  • Lifecycle cost analysis reset the negotiation, recovering material margin.
  • Two parallel awards structured to retain optionality on phased expansion.

We act as the owner's strategic advisor and representative. We are not an engineering contractor, and we are not aligned to any vendor.
