Project Review Methodology

 At Project, Industry & Engineering Review Hub, project reviews are conducted using a structured, systematic, and experience-driven methodology developed from over 30 years of involvement in industrial, oil & gas, power, and utility projects.

A Structured and Experience-Based Approach to Project Evaluation

At Project, Industry & Engineering Review Hub, project reviews are conducted using a structured, systematic, and experience-driven methodology developed from over 30 years of involvement in industrial, oil & gas, power, and utility projects.

Our methodology is designed to support decision-makers, project owners, investors, and EPC stakeholders by providing objective, practical, and actionable insights throughout the project lifecycle.


Purpose of Project Review

The primary objectives of our project review methodology are to:

  • Evaluate the technical and commercial viability of a project
  • Identify engineering, execution, and operational risks
  • Assess the suitability of selected technologies and design concepts
  • Review cost, schedule, and execution assumptions
  • Provide recommendations to improve project outcomes

Project reviews can be conducted at any stage of a project, from early concept development to operational optimization.


Our Project Review Framework

Our methodology follows a multi-disciplinary and phased approach, ensuring comprehensive coverage of all critical aspects of a project.


1. Project Understanding & Scope Definition

At this stage, we focus on gaining a clear understanding of the project, including:

  • Project objectives and business drivers
  • Project scope, boundaries, and assumptions
  • Development stage (concept, FS, FEED, DED, execution, or operation)
  • Stakeholders and contractual structure

This step ensures that the review remains relevant, focused, and aligned with decision-making needs.


2. Technical & Engineering Review

We evaluate the technical foundation of the project, including:

  • Process concept and system configuration
  • Technology selection and suitability
  • Engineering standards and design philosophy
  • Equipment selection and specification
  • Utilities and supporting systems integration

The review is performed against industry best practices, international standards (API, ASME, ASTM, ISO), and practical execution experience.


3. Feasibility & Design Maturity Assessment

Depending on the project stage, we assess:

  • Completeness and quality of FS, FEED, or DED documents
  • Design maturity and constructability
  • Assumptions used in engineering and sizing
  • Interfaces between disciplines and packages

This step helps identify design gaps, overdesign, underdesign, or misaligned assumptions early.


4. Cost, Schedule & Commercial Review

We analyze the commercial aspects of the project, including:

  • Capital expenditure (CAPEX) assumptions
  • Operating expenditure (OPEX) considerations
  • Project schedule logic and critical path
  • Procurement strategy and contracting approach

Our focus is on identifying unrealistic assumptions, hidden risks, and optimization opportunities.


5. Risk Identification & Mitigation

A structured risk review is conducted to identify:

  • Technical and engineering risks
  • Construction and execution risks
  • Operational and maintenance risks
  • Safety, environmental, and regulatory risks

Where applicable, we apply principles from HAZID, HAZOP, and risk-based decision frameworks to support mitigation planning.


6. Project Execution & Management Review

For projects in execution or operation, we assess:

  • Project organization and roles
  • EPC coordination and interface management
  • Quality assurance and control practices
  • Cost control, scheduling, and reporting systems

This ensures that project governance and management practices support successful delivery.


7. Findings, Recommendations & Decision Support

The outcome of the project review is presented in a clear, structured, and decision-oriented format, including:

  • Key findings and observations
  • Identified risks and opportunities
  • Practical recommendations
  • Options and trade-offs for decision-makers

Our recommendations are always practical, realistic, and based on real project experience.


Types of Project Reviews We Support

Our methodology can be applied to:

  • Independent Project Review (Owner / Investor)
  • Feasibility Study Review
  • Technology Selection Review
  • EPC Readiness and Execution Review
  • Operational Performance Review
  • Post-Project or Lessons Learned Review

Why Our Methodology Adds Value

✔️ Experience-based, not theoretical

✔️ Applicable across multiple industries

✔️ Independent and objective

✔️ Focused on risk reduction and value optimization

✔️ Aligned with real-world execution challenges


Professional Engagement

Project reviews are conducted under a formal professional engagement, including defined scope, deliverables, timeline, and confidentiality arrangements.
