Commercial, not just technical
A technically sound project can still be a poor investment. Our writing sits on the commercial side of feasibility — offtake, logistics, counterparties and the cost base — rather than repeating the engineering study.
A technically sound mining or industrial project can still be a poor investment, and the engineering study rarely says so — it was never asked to. The commercial questions sit alongside it: offtake, logistics, counterparties, and the cost base the technical plan assumes but does not price.
This subject stays on that commercial side, plus the two things that most often set the real schedule of an industrial project: the sequence its approvals actually travel through, and how the project is structured — owned, financed, governed — before the first spend rather than after it.

How we write about it
The angles this subject is covered from, and what each one is for.
Approvals on the critical path
In industrial projects the approvals sequence usually determines the schedule, not the construction plan. This coverage follows how that sequence is mapped and where it commonly slips.
Structuring before committing
How a project is owned, financed and governed is easier to change on paper than after the first spend. We write about getting that structure settled early.
