The Power of Phased Contracting
Our phased contracting model facilitates direct partnership with customers to collaboratively develop the project scope from early concept through procurement and construction. As a result, the bidding and project development timelines are reduced and scope changes minimized. This process ensures that valuable engineering ideas are incorporated early, costs and risks are minimized, long-lead equipment is secured and the overall development and EPC schedule is compressed.
Our phased contracting strategy is a proven way to minimize project cost, schedule and risk.
