01 / Your starting point
The accepted pre-study or chosen concept, the reference design you already use, and the requirements and interfaces that must hold.
The work / Basic engineering
Fix the design basis.
Before you buy.
Basic engineering turns the chosen option into a design the project can price, procure and plan from. It can build on a design you already have, adapted to the new requirement.
Discuss your project
The result
A basis to price.
A plan to progress.
A fixed fee and date, with useful changes within the brief included.
02 / What we agree
The deliverables and formats, the calculations and checks in scope, the fixed fee and date, and who reviews and releases the work.
03 / What you receive
The agreed layout and main dimensions, equipment and interface lists, quantities and calculations, with the review record and the open items.
AI prepares.
People decide.
AI drafts, lists and updates. Permitted engineering tools calculate and check. People set the constraints, review and release.

Fixed fee.
Changes included.
Changes within the brief are included until the delivery date. One engineering lead steers the assignment in about an hour per change round; each round comes as a short list of decisions, so it runs alongside your other projects.
| Included in the brief | Agreed separately, before work starts |
|---|---|
| Moving equipment within the agreed area | A new area, system or discipline |
| A changed requirement within the brief | Detail drawings for fabrication |
| An added check on an item in scope | Vendor evaluation and procurement documents |
| Revised quantities after a change | A different process or design basis |
Quality, made visible
Checked against the brief.
Reviewed by a person.
AI prepares proposals. Permitted engineering tools calculate and check. A named engineer reviews and authorises release. Your package includes the review record and any open items.
The fee and date are agreed before work starts. A material change to the brief is agreed separately, before any extra work. Useful changes within the agreed brief are included.
A practical place to start
