What We Offer
-
Strategic and Commercial Advisory

Business Case and Investment Support
BPM helps you define, structure, and evaluate project opportunities. We help clients unlock funding and secure stakeholder confidence through clear, evidence-based business cases. Our team structures and evaluates investment opportunities delivering cost-benefit analysis, feasibility studies, and due diligence tailored to your project’s context. Whether you're planning major capital works or seeking board approval, we provide a defensible case backed by insight and years of experience.
-
Project Risk Assessment
Our advisors assess project risks from technical, financial, stakeholder, and programme perspectives. We identify risks early, improving certainty and investor confidence. We also map critical risks against each project stage and build custom mitigation frameworks that suit your delivery model. Project risk management is an important element of your project's success.
-
Procurement Strategy and Delivery Strategy
We tailor procurement and delivery strategies to match your project’s complexity, market dynamics, risk profile, and funding model. Our team helps you assess a range of delivery models — including design-bid-build, design and build, alliances, early contractor involvement (ECI), and public-private partnerships (PPP) — to find the best fit. We test and refine procurement options to ensure they are commercially viable, defensible, and aligned with value-for-money and delivery goals.
Arguably one of the core components of successful project delivery is stakeholder management. We provide clients with the trusted ability to communicate with all levels of the business from management, planners, architects, site staff and land owners. We identify and prioritise stakeholders and understand expectations, using engaging communication strategies.
-
Infrastructure and Policy Advisory
From regional planning to major capital investment, we work with councils, iwi, and ministries to assess policy alignment, infrastructure readiness, and delivery risks. We support growth strategies, master planning initiatives, and long-term infrastructure investment decisions, with our knowledge and understanding of the Resource Management Act and Building Consent process. We’ll liaise with planners and architects to gain the required permits and approvals and ensure the compliance at all stages of the project. Infrastructure advisory services are crucial to engage early on in your project planning.
