Founded in 2011, the firm advises Asset Owners, Financiers, and Operators across the infrastructure lifecycle — from early investment strategy and feasibility through delivery, operations, and long-term asset performance. Its stated service offering emphasises "first principles" cost estimating, tailored project management integrating commercial insight and risk intelligence, and commercial advisory covering business case development, technical due diligence, and risk modelling.

The firm operates a multi-office consultancy model across ANZ, with five offices in Melbourne (HQ), Adelaide, Brisbane, Sydney, and Auckland. Engagement is project-based and quote-based (pricing not publicly disclosed), consistent with bespoke professional services. Since founding, the firm reports 1,046 projects delivered, $29.7 billion in advised infrastructure project value, and 393 clients served, supported by a team with 150+ years of combined experience.

The business makes money through fee-based advisory engagements on individual infrastructure projects. No subscription, product, or platform revenue model is disclosed. Underlying technology is not described beyond conventional consultancy tooling; there is no disclosed proprietary platform, AI/ML capability, or software product. The firm is privately held, with no disclosed funding rounds, parent company, or external investors, and operates without publicly named leadership in the available source material.
