How We AdviseMoltus
How We Advise
How we give independent advice.
Our advisory work is grounded in delivery. Every report, recommendation and review is written by people who have built the work themselves — so the advice translates to what actually happens on site.
01
Brief, discovery and evidence first
We start with a documented brief, then test it against drawings, contracts, programmes and the asset itself — so the recommendation is based on evidence, not assumption.
02
Cost, programme and risk modelled together
Cost, time and risk are never reviewed in isolation. We model them together so the trade-off between price, programme and contingency is visible before decisions are made.
03
Reporting your board and funders can use
Findings are written for the people signing the cheque — clear recommendations, a risk position, and a defined next step you can present at the next investment or board meeting.

Advisory Engagements
Advisory support for each decision point.
Use us for a focused feasibility report, a due-diligence review before acquisition, owner's representative support through delivery or independent cost and risk advice.
01
Feasibility & Due Diligence
Pre-acquisition and pre-design reviews — cost, programme, planning and constructability risk in one report.
02
Owner's Representative
We act for the client — managing designers, contractors and authorities through delivery.
03
Cost & Procurement
Independent estimates, tender review, trade package strategy and contract recommendations.
04
Risk & Dispute Support
Programme analysis, variation review, EOT assessment and expert input on contract disputes.
Where Our Advice FitsMoltus
Where Our Advice Fits
Where our advice actually changes the outcome.
Advisory is most useful at the points where a single decision moves the project — before acquisition, before tender, and during delivery when issues need an owner-side voice in the room.
01
Pre-acquisition due diligence
Site, building and contract review before purchase — so the price you pay reflects the cost to deliver, the risk you inherit and the work you'll need to do in year one.
02
Owner's representative through delivery
We sit on the client side through design, procurement and construction — running PCGs, holding the contractor to programme and cost, and protecting your commercial position.
03
Independent cost, programme and risk reviews
Independent second-opinion reviews on tendered prices, contract claims, programme slippage or risk allocation — useful when something on the project no longer feels right.

Analysis
Cost, programme, risk and procurement options modelled and stress-tested.
Stage 04
Recommendations
Clear written report with options, trade-offs and a recommended path forward.
Stage 05
Implementation support
We stay on the team — running tenders, chairing meetings and reporting monthly.
Stage 06
Handover & lessons learned
Close-out report, lessons learned and a documented record for your board or investors.
Why MoltusMoltus
Why Moltus
Why choose Moltus for advisory.
Most construction advice comes from people who have never actually built the work. Ours comes from a contractor — which is why the recommendations hold up when the project moves into delivery.
01
Independent from the build
When we're advising, we're not tendering. Recommendations are written for your interest, not as a precursor to a construction quote.
02
Delivery-grounded analysis
Cost, programme and risk advice is anchored in what we know actually happens on commercial sites — not theoretical numbers from a software package.
03
Owner-side accountability
We work as part of your project team — attending PCGs, writing the recommendations, and staying accountable for the position we've put forward through delivery.
