Experienced project capacity, when and where you need it.
Hiring takes months. We provide experienced project people who integrate into your team, take on real work, and step back when the work is done. You get the capacity without the permanent headcount.
Fuel loading facility, British Columbia — DSMC owner-side project
The work arrived faster than the people did.
We supply experienced project people to industrial contractors when the workload spikes. Whether it’s overlapping awards, a tender during mobilization, or a short-term need for senior oversight, we fill the gap for as long as the work requires, from a few weeks to multi-year embedded roles. You keep the work and your client relationships without carrying extra headcount through the slow periods.
You keep the client relationship, the contract and the control. We add the capacity.
Capacity without a permanent commitment
Engaged for the assignment and extended only if you want it extended. Long engagements are welcome; none of them are open‑ended by default.
Short ramp‑up
People with industrial project experience need your systems, your procedures and your priorities — then they work.
Inside your structure
We report to your project manager or principal, use your document control and templates, and represent your company to your client.
Discretion
We work behind your name. Nothing about an engagement is published without your written agreement.
Five ways we plug in.
Take one, or combine them. Most engagements start with a single pressure point and grow only if you want them to.
Team augmentation
Experienced project personnel who join your existing team for a defined period — project managers, project coordinators, estimators and project controls people. They work under your direction, on your systems, as part of your organization.
Work package development & management
Developing, organizing, sequencing, issuing, tracking and closing construction work packages, so what reaches the field is complete: scope, drawings, materials, permits, equipment and constraints resolved before release.
Project management & coordination support
Supplemental or temporary PM and project coordinator capacity on active construction: progress and cost reporting, change management, schedule and interface management, subcontractor and vendor coordination, and client communication.
Estimating & bid support
Surge capacity through a tender: quantity take-off across disciplines, subcontractor and vendor RFQs, scope and specification review, RFIs, pricing support, schedule preparation and bid close. Also independent review of an estimate before it goes out.
Project recovery & closeout
Stepping into PM or coordinator roles where a project needs structure restored: an honest assessment, re-established priorities and controls, and disciplined execution of remaining work, deficiencies, documentation and turnover through to completion.
Not sure which one fits?
Describe the pressure point and we will tell you what we would put on it — or that we are not the right answer.
Talk it throughThe eight calls we get most.
None of these mean anything is wrong with the organization. They mean the work arrived faster than the people did. That is a scheduling problem, and it has a practical answer.
A bid is closing and estimating is already committed
Quantities still to take off, subtrade coverage thin, and a tender date that will not move.
A project manager or coordinator is carrying too much
Good people spread across several jobs have less room to look further ahead than this week.
A key role has opened mid‑project
A departure or a leave during construction, with no pause in the schedule while you recruit.
Work packages are not yet field‑ready
Drawings, materials, permits or a decision still outstanding when the crew is ready to start.
Reporting and coordination have become strained
Change tracking behind, client updates late, subcontractor interfaces still to be resolved.
A job is mobilizing faster than you can staff it
Award to boots on the ground is rarely as long as anyone would like.
Closeout needs stronger focus
Deficiencies, as-builts, O&M manuals, final quantities and turnover documents need a clear owner.
A project needs its structure restored
Where cost, schedule and scope have drifted apart, the first job is an honest assessment — then priorities, controls and a plan the team can execute.
We integrate quickly, take real work off the team, and move the project forward.
Sized to the work, not to a retainer.
Short-duration surge
Weeks. A tender close, a mobilization, a reporting catch-up, a package release. Defined start and end from day one.
Embedded role
Months, or longer where the work justifies it. A project manager or coordinator holding a seat on an active job, through a phase or through to turnover.
Defined consulting scope
A deliverable rather than a seat: a work package set, an estimate, a recovery assessment, a closeout plan.
Recovery and completion
Taking accountability for driving remaining work, documentation and turnover on a project that needs it finished.
