Engineering Governance

How independence is protected.

Institutional clients rely on the process behind the opinion as much as the opinion itself.

01

Independence

We are retained for an engineering answer, not a predetermined conclusion. Findings are stated with their limitations.

02

Conflicts screening

Every prospective engagement is screened against parties, assets and prior involvement before scope is accepted.

03

Confidentiality

Transaction and claims material is handled under confidentiality, with controlled access and clean-team arrangements where required.

04

Evidence handling

Physical evidence is documented, secured and tracked with chain of custody suitable for adversarial review.

05

Peer review

Conclusions are challenged by a specialist outside the primary discipline before release.

06

Professional liability

The firm carries professional liability cover and works to recognized engineering standards of care.

Retain independent technical expertise.

Initial conversations are confidential and without obligation. We will confirm independence before scope is discussed.
