Equilibrium Project Advisory

What Equilibrium Project Advisory does

Equilibrium Project Advisory is a Perth-based boutique professional services firm that provides integrated commercial, legal, and project delivery advisory to Australia's largest mining, oil and gas, infrastructure, and energy projects. Founded in 2021 and led by three Directors — Tim Walker (front-end contracting and procurement strategy), Rob Radici (Senior Fellow at Melbourne Law School, disputes and procurement law) and Christian Ainslie (former General Counsel of a large international construction company) — the firm supports asset owners, tier-one and tier-two contractors, and EPCMs across the full project lifecycle, from contracting strategy and tendering through contract administration, claims preparation, and dispute resolution, as well as personnel secondment into client teams.

The firm's service portfolio comprises core advisory (Commercial and Legal Advisory, Project Delivery Advisory, Claims and Dispute Resolution) and a structured Training and Education line with modular in-house programmes covering Contract Administration, Tendering, Delivery Models, Delay and Disruption, Construction Issues, and Contract Management. Revenue is generated entirely through fee-for-service professional engagements and bespoke training mandates; no proprietary technology platform or product-led motion exists, and the firm's value is derived from senior practitioners' accumulated experience on projects such as Gorgon, Wheatstone, Ichthys, Barossa, Scarborough, South Flank, Gudai-Darri, Snowy 2.0, and METRONET.

Go-to-market is enterprise field sales driven by reputation, practitioner networks, content marketing (blog and LinkedIn), and client referrals, with named engagements spanning BHP, Rio Tinto, Chevron, INPEX/TotalEnergies, Woodside, Santos, Snowy Hydro, Worley, Strike, Liquid Power, and others. The firm operates from a single headquarters in Perth's CBD at Level 4, 197 St Georges Terrace, and has extended its footprint into New South Wales and the Northern Territory through Snowy 2.0 and other engagements, with approximately 14 named professionals across advisory, legal, quantity surveying, construction management, project controls, and administration functions.

2. Training and Education Programs: The firm designs and delivers customized commercial capability training programs for major project teams. Programs are modular, tailored to client contracts and risk profiles, and delivered in-house (in-person or online). Training programs can be stand-alone modules or combined into structured multi-module programs, providing an additional revenue stream alongside advisory services.
