STEP 01
PHASE 01 · WEEKS 1–2

Listen & Align

Establish definitive project objectives, site boundaries, and operational constraints.

Every successful project begins with structured discovery. We facilitate intensive client briefing workshops, analyze statutory zoning constraints, assess site geotechnical logs, and establish shared KPIs before design work or procurement begins.

Core Engineering Activities:

  • •Client brief clarification and success metrics definition
  • •Topographical survey, soil investigation, and utility mapping review
  • •Preliminary budget benchmarking and risk opportunity register
  • •Statutory authority submission roadmap (FCDA / LASBCA / Federal Fire Service / NESREA)
Key Deliverable: Signed Project Charter & Technical Feasibility Report
Plan & Price
STEP 02
PHASE 02 · WEEKS 3–8

Plan & Price

Eliminate downstream variations through rigorous digital modeling and open-book costing.

Our engineering and estimating office develops high-precision Building Information Models (BIM Level 2), conducts clash detection across MEP and structural packages, and generates transparent, line-item Bills of Quantities (BOQ) under NIQS BESMM / CESMM4 standards and FMWH / FIDIC contract forms.

Core Engineering Activities:

  • •Multi-disciplinary BIM clash detection resolving site conflicts digitally
  • •Full trade package subcontractor market pre-qualification and tenders
  • •Critical Path Method (CPM) baseline scheduling in Primavera P6
  • •Comprehensive Value Engineering (VE) workshops identifying savings
Key Deliverable: Fixed Lump-Sum Guaranteed Contract & Baseline 4D Schedule
Build & Assure
STEP 03
PHASE 03 · CONSTRUCTION STAGE

Build & Assure

Daily on-site discipline, strict quality hold-points, and zero-compromise safety.

Execution under dedicated site leadership. Our resident Project Managers enforce daily tool-box briefings, supervise material testing, maintain strict Nigerian Factories Act, COREN and HSE compliance, and issue weekly progress updates with drone orthomosaic imagery.

Core Engineering Activities:

  • •Mandatory morning safety tool-box talks and PPE entry enforcement
  • •Formal Inspection and Test Plans (ITP) with sign-off hold points
  • •Weekly client milestone reviews with live dashboard reporting
  • •Third-party material testing (concrete cube crushing, tensile steel tests)
Key Deliverable: Weekly Photographic Progress Reports & Continuous Quality Logs
Handover & Care
STEP 04
PHASE 04 · COMPLETION & 12-MONTH DLP

Handover & Care

Seamless facility transition and long-term defects liability accountability.

Practical completion is never our exit point. We conduct comprehensive pre-handover snagging, coordinate statutory authority inspections (Federal Fire Service, FCDA / State Development Control), train facility staff, and manage a dedicated 12-month Defects Liability Period team.

Core Engineering Activities:

  • •Pre-inspection snag-free punch list resolution 30 days prior to CPC
  • •Comprehensive Fire & Life Safety testing and FCDA statutory building fitness approval
  • •Digital O&M manuals and BIM digital twin asset handover
  • •Dedicated 24/7 DLP response team with scheduled 6 & 12-month audits
Key Deliverable: Certificate of Practical Completion (CPC) & Complete Digital Asset Pack
