Before sanction or bid
Execution plan, bid, and estimate reviews before the price goes out.
Torvane reviews the execution plan, the bid, the estimate, the schedule, and the EPC selection with field eyes, under NDA, as desktop reviews, and reports the assumptions most likely to break before anyone is committed to them.
Execution Plan Review
Independent review of the owner's Project Execution Plan or the contractor's Construction Execution Plan before it is approved, priced, or issued for bid. We test the plan against what the field can actually do: sequence, work-packaging approach, indirects and temporary facilities, craft histogram against regional availability, supervision ratios, commissioning integration, and the assumptions nobody has written down.
Scope, timing, field involvement, deliverables, confidentiality, and fee are confirmed in writing before work begins.
Bid Execution Review
A confidential cold-eyes review of the construction portion of a bid three to four weeks before submission: productivity and unit-rate assumptions, craft density and peak headcount, indirect staffing, schedule logic and float, weather and shift assumptions, subcontracting plan, and the contract terms the estimate is silently carrying.
Scope, timing, field involvement, deliverables, confidentiality, and fee are confirmed in writing before work begins.
Estimate and Schedule Reasonableness Review
Does the construction estimate and the integrated schedule pass a field test? Quantities-to-hours logic, productivity factors, craft availability, schedule density, and critical-path realism, reduced to the five numbers that drive the answer.
Scope, timing, field involvement, deliverables, confidentiality, and fee are confirmed in writing before work begins.
EPC Selection and Award Review
Before award: the construction execution basis of each shortlisted proposal, compared side by side. Sequence, craft plan against the regional market, supervision, indirects, schedule realism, and the assumptions each bidder has left unwritten, with clarification questions for the evaluation team and the conditions worth attaching to an award.
Scope, timing, field involvement, deliverables, confidentiality, and fee are confirmed in writing before work begins.
Frequently asked questions
What does a pre-bid execution review cover?
The construction portion of the commitment: sequence and work-packaging approach, productivity and unit-rate assumptions, craft density and peak headcount against regional availability, indirect staffing, schedule logic and float, subcontracting plan, and the contract terms the estimate is silently carrying.
How is the scope and timing set?
