HBS / OUR APPROACH / 00 PROJECT UNDERSTANDING · DECISION · CONTROL
ENGINEERING & PROJECT MANAGEMENT

UNDERSTAND BEFORE COMMITTING.

Project success is first secured by the quality of the decisions made early on.

Before mobilising a solution, a team or a delivery model, HBS first seeks to understand the actual need, the project constraints and its execution environment.

This understanding allows effort to be focused where it creates the most value: decisions, interfaces, risks and real execution conditions.

NEED · CONSTRAINTS · RISKS · CONTEXT · DECISIONS
01 NEED

NEED

Clarify what the project actually needs to achieve before defining how to deliver it.

OBJECTIVES · PRIORITIES · EXPECTATIONS
02 CONSTRAINTS

CONSTRAINTS

Identify the technical, regulatory, operational and organisational constraints of the project.

TECHNICAL · COMPLIANCE · OPERATIONS
03 RISKS

RISKS

Make potential issues visible early enough to manage their impact on cost, schedule, quality or execution.

COST · SCHEDULE · QUALITY · EXECUTION
04 CONTEXT

CONTEXT

Understand the real conditions in which the project will need to be designed, coordinated and executed.

SITE · INTERFACES · OPERATIONS
05 DECISIONS

DECISIONS

Give stakeholders a sufficiently clear basis to make informed trade-offs and commit to the next stage of the project.

HBS / PROJECT UNDERSTANDING

UNDERSTAND THE CONTEXT TO MOBILISE THE RIGHT RESPONSE, AT THE RIGHT LEVEL.

HBS / OUR APPROACH / 01 SCOPE · RESPONSIBILITY · DELIVERY · CONTROL
FROM EXPERTISE TO INTEGRATED DELIVERY

THE RIGHT LEVEL OF ENGAGEMENT. ACCORDING TO WHAT
THE PROJECT REQUIRES.

Not every project requires the same level of support.

HBS adapts its involvement to the actual need, the expected level of responsibility and the maturity of the project.

From a focused assignment to integrated delivery, the scope evolves. The same standard of control remains.

ONE NEED

FOCUSED
EXPERTISE

Address a specific need.

A defined issue, a clear scope and an expected outcome. HBS mobilises the expertise required to analyse, assess, decide or reduce risk.

Bring in the skills the project needs.

One or more HBS disciplines reinforce the project organisation, either independently or directly integrated into the client’s team.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT &
COORDINATION

Take responsibility for a defined scope.

HBS structures, coordinates and manages the interfaces and contractors required to move a defined scope forward, with clear visibility over decisions, risks and execution.

NEEDS US.

EVERY PROJECT FOLLOWS
ITS OWN PATH.

From early-stage studies through to validation, HBS intervenes in the phases that genuinely add value to the project — either selectively or through an integrated approach.

01

DEFINE

CONCEPT DESIGN

Understand the need, frame the constraints and guide the initial decisions.

02

DEVELOP

ENGINEERING

Design, size and coordinate the solutions required by the project.

03

PREPARE

PROCUREMENT

Consult suppliers, compare proposals, prepare contract awards and organise execution.

04

EXECUTE

CONSTRUCTION

Manage interfaces, coordinate contractors and control site execution.

05

COMMISSION

COMMISSIONING

Test the systems, prepare for start-up and support commissioning.

06

VALIDATE

QUALIFICATION
· VALIDATION

Demonstrate compliance, qualify performance and support final validation.
