Integrated services for every phase of your project.

From early-stage estimating and feasibility through execution controls and commercial close-out, IPP provides the independent expertise and structured methodology that complex capital projects demand.

Estimating & Estimate Assurance

Transparent, defensible estimates for confident decisions.

IPP develops and reviews CAPEX and OPEX cost estimates across study and execution phases, producing transparent, benchmarked cost bases aligned to design maturity. We provide estimate assurance through structured reviews of third-party estimates, validation of quantities and pricing assumptions, and clear identification of exclusions and risk allowances.

Key Capabilities

CAPEX/OPEX estimating (study + execution)
Estimate basis and assumptions documentation
Quantity take-off and MTO reviews
Benchmarking and estimate reasonableness checks
Third-party estimate reviews and assurance
Risk and contingency inputs
Cost normalisation and escalation
Audit-ready estimate files and traceability

Planning & Scheduling

Integrated schedules that connect scope, milestones, and delivery.

We build and operate integrated schedules that connect scope, deliverables, and decision gates into executable roadmaps from concept through execution. Services include WBS and schedule architecture, logic integrity checks (CPM best practice), baseline approval support, progress measurement routines, and executive reporting of critical path and forecast outcomes.

Key Capabilities

WBS and schedule architecture
CPM logic and DCMA 14-point reviews
Baseline development and approval
Progress measurement and physical verification
Trend and variance management
Short-interval planning (3WLA) support
Recovery and re-baseline planning support
Delay analysis support
Digital workflows for schedule visibility

Project Controls & QS

A unified performance view integrating cost, schedule, progress, and change.

IPP establishes project controls frameworks that integrate cost, schedule, progress, and change into a single performance view. We convert estimates into control budgets, implement commitments and actuals tracking, and maintain forecasts supported by trend programs and variance narratives. Through QS disciplines, we underpin progress and support payment certificate validation with auditable records.

Key Capabilities

Control budget setup and WBS alignment
Commitments, actuals, and forecast management
Progress measurement and physical verification
Earned value / performance metrics (as required)
Trend and variance management
Payment certificate support
Quantity surveying and commercial substantiation
Standardised reporting and audit trail

Commercial Management

Contracts and procurement that protect owner interests.

We support clients before and after contract award to strengthen commercial outcomes and protect contractual rights. Pre-contract services include procurement strategy, packaging, tender documentation, and negotiation assistance. Post-contract services include contract administration, variation management, claims prevention, and close-out support.

Key Capabilities

Procurement strategy and packaging
Tender documentation and bidder engagement
Bid evaluation and negotiation support
Contract administration and compliance
Correspondence and notices management
Variation and change order management
Claims prevention and close-out support
AI-enabled document search and traceability

Risk & Opportunity Management

Practical risk discipline that protects outcomes.

IPP applies structured risk and opportunity management to improve decision quality and protect outcomes in volatile delivery environments. We facilitate risk identification and quantification, develop practical mitigation plans, and integrate risk thinking into cost and schedule forecasts to maintain explicit confidence levels at each gate.

Key Capabilities

Risk workshop facilitation
Qualitative and quantitative risk analysis
Mitigation planning and action tracking
Integration with cost and schedule forecasts
Opportunity identification and tracking
Early warning and escalation
Consistent risk registers and governance

Study & Governance Support

Study readiness, governance, and document control for gate approvals.

From concept through feasibility, we help owners run disciplined studies that are ready for gate approvals. This includes study management support, governance and procedures (roles, authorities, approval pathways), and document control (structured workflows, version control, and compliance archiving).

Key Capabilities

Study planning and management support
Chapter authoring coordination and review cycles
Gate report preparation and presentation support
Governance and procedures development
Roles, RACI, and decision authorities
Document control workflows and version management
Compliance archiving and audit readiness
Efficient delivery with offshore + digital support

Environment & Sustainability

End-to-end specialised support, from strategy to implementation.

IPP helps organisations integrate sustainability considerations into corporate strategy and governance, manages the complexities of environmental licensing and compliance, and supports financial provisioning and closure rehabilitation planning.

Key Capabilities

Strategy, audits, due diligence, risk assessment, performance measurement, benchmarking and training on ESG management systems
Strategy setup and performance support on sustainable supply chain, stakeholder engagement and materiality assessment, employee diversity, equity and inclusion, circular economy initiatives, community skills development, social enterprise, economic development and public participation processes
Mine closure optioning, planning, risk assessment, procedures and financial provisioning
Tailings rehabilitation strategies and remediation plans
EIA licensing studies/assessments, applications, amendments, variations and appeals
Independent audit on environmental and social compliance
Advisory on sustainability options, controls offices and technical peer reviews

BIM & Digital Tools

We supercharge the QS function by bringing together the power of Building Information Modelling and the best project management tools.

IPP develops — or integrates into your existing — BIM environments that optimise constructability analysis, quantity reviews for budgeting and contracting purposes, payment application processes and scenario analysis, together with tools that digitise project management workflows compatible with existing systems and operating under client security standards (Microsoft environment).

Key Capabilities

Cross-discipline coordination and verification of design integrity and completeness
Fast and accurate fabrication detailing
Extraction and audit of CAPEX MTOs and commercial Bill of Quantities
Accurate, traceable and fast payment certification review
5D visuals (3D + time + cost) for progress, change management reporting and contractual scenarios
Schedule-centric and procurement-aware digital toolkit for project delivery, adhering to PM BoK, covering Scope, Time, Cost, Procurement, Contract Management, Document Management, Health and Safety, Environment, Quality, People, Communication, Risk and Change Management
Process-driven workflows that accommodate client realities (including governance), operating with Microsoft Access/Security and Scalability on top of M365 data environment
