Your Project.
Under control.

Capital projects are high-stake endeavours. Organisations invest significant amounts of time, money and resources on their success. Unfortunately, despite this, only 8.5% of capital projects meet their cost and schedule targets — and just 0.5% achieve all their promised benefits.*

Degraded ROIs, cost and schedule overruns and asset underperformance — damage a company's performance and potentially its reputation.

These issues are avoidable with the right knowledge, applied at the right time.

When there are concerns about your capital project, Acuity EPC Advisory brings four decades of executive EPC leadership to bear quickly, ensuring visibility, control and momentum to your project.

What we do

Services overview

Independent of contractors, vendors and lenders — any potential conflict is declared and managed. Senior specialist support is brought in where the work requires it.

Before you commit

Investment Readiness Review

  • An execution-led review of scope maturity, and of estimate and schedule credibility.
  • A challenge of contracting strategy and risk allocation, constructability and owner-team readiness.
  • A clear recommendation — proceed, reshape or defer — with the actions to close the gaps.
So that the board commits with confidence, or reshapes the project while change is still inexpensive.

While you deliver

Independent Board Assurance

  • A regular, independent reading of project or portfolio performance — what the reports say, and what they don’t.
  • Project risk linked into your corporate risk framework, in language the board can act on.
  • Early sight of the decisions coming, with options and recommendations.
So that leadership sees problems early, while options remain.

When it’s off track

Project Recovery

  • A Health Check to establish the true position, root causes and risk exposure.
  • A prioritised recovery plan with owners and deadlines, building team capability as it goes.
  • Where needed, Philip steps in as interim Project or Construction Director to lead the turnaround.
So that the project returns to a credible path, with your team stronger for it.

How we work

Methodology overview

01
Diagnose
Rapid, independent assessment of project status — cost, schedule, risk, team dynamics and contractual position — showing the true status, what is working well and what is not.
02
Identify
Clear articulation of root causes, critical exposures and where the project is most at risk. Prioritised by impact and urgency — so effort goes where it matters most.
03
Mitigation
A structured, actionable recovery plan with clear ownership, timelines and success measures — built with your team, not imposed on them.
04
Implement & embed
Hands-on support to implement the plan and build team capability in the areas needed, so the improvement outlasts the engagement and your team is better equipped to perform successfully.

Experience

Why Acuity EPC?

Decades of large capital project experience allow us to see what is working well and what is not — and apply known fixes that work to address the issue. That experience comes from both sides of the table: leading delivery for contractors, and working alongside owners on the investment case. We understand how each side sees risk, reports progress and makes decisions.

The experience behind AcuityEPC. Over 40 years delivering energy and industrial facilities worldwide — from upstream, midstream and downstream oil and gas to renewables and green energy — across every element of delivery, not just project management: engineering, procurement, manufacturing, construction, commissioning, HSE and quality.

Execution of some of the largest projects of their kind in the world, in environments from the Sahara desert to the Siberian Arctic.

The founder

The person behind AcuityEPC

Philip St John Green has spent four decades in capital projects — starting as an apprentice and most recently as Global President of Project Delivery for a 50,000-person EPC company. His career spans every phase of project delivery, from engineering and construction through to executive leadership and board accountability.

That journey brings something no methodology can: pattern recognition built over forty years — an understanding of what project reports say, and what they tend not to say. Knowing how teams behave under pressure, and what they genuinely need to turn things around, comes from having been in that position, accountable for the outcome, many times over.

Acuity EPC Advisory offers that experience directly, applied with complete focus on your project and your situation.
