We tell sponsors and investors what a project actually is, before the money is committed, and then make sure it gets built that way.
Technical due diligence
For an acquisition, a fund investment or a financing, AIUS reviews the project as it stands and reports what would change the value or the timetable:
- Resource and yield assessment, and the assumptions inside the production model
- Design review: layout, module and inverter selection, DC and AC sizing, structural design against site conditions
- Permitting status: authorisation, land, environmental clearance, connection agreement
- EPC contract and O&M contract review
- Capital and operating cost benchmarking
- Construction schedule realism
- A red-flag register with each item costed or timed where possible
Owner’s engineering and construction management
Once a project is committed, AIUS represents the sponsor’s technical interest against the EPC contractor:
- EPC tendering, technical evaluation and contract negotiation support
- Design review and approval on the owner’s behalf
- Resident or periodic site supervision, quality control and non-conformance management
- Progress certification and variation assessment
- Test witnessing, commissioning coordination and STEG acceptance
- Punch list management through to final acceptance
