FAQ
FAQ
Before engaging UMINEX, clients typically want clarity on scope, timing, governance, and how we reduce cost and delivery risk across the capital plan and project lifecycle. These FAQs cover our core services (lean project management, engineering, environmental) and how the Capital Intensity Toolset™ is applied in practical planning and delivery contexts.
What types of projects does UMINEX support?
UMINEX supports capital programs and infrastructure projects where governance, cost control, schedule certainty, and approvals matter, typically across local government, utilities, and resource-sector environments. The focus is lean project management, engineering, and environmental services across the project lifecycle.
When should we involve UMINEX?
As early as possible, ideally during capital planning, options development, and definition, where decisions set most of the downstream cost and risk profile. UMINEX also supports delivery phases, including Early Contractor Involvement and D&C project delivery contexts.
What is the Capital Intensity Toolset?
The Capital Intensity Toolset is a methodology made up of tools and actions applied throughout the capital plan and project lifecycle to improve capital efficiency and decision quality. It is commonly used in planning and development contexts, including workshops.
Do you provide client-side project and contract management?
Yes. UMINEX provides client-side project delivery and contract management, including superintendent services/representation and reporting to support governance and decision-making. Public council records also show Uminex appointed as a lead project management consultant for major water and sewer infrastructure planning and delivery support.
Do you deliver engineering and environmental services as well?
Yes. UMINEX includes engineering management capability (e.g., feasibility and preliminary design support, procurement of design services, and technical review activities) and environmental services (including items commonly associated with approvals and REF-type processes).
How does UMINEX approach procurement and contractor management?
Procurement is treated as a critical value-and-risk lever, because it strongly influences quality, complexity, and cost outcomes. UMINEX supports procurement planning and contractor/supplier management as part of its service offering.
How do we get started?
Share the project context (scope, stage, constraints, and key risks) and the current decision point. From there, UMINEX will define a lean scope of support aligned to lifecycle needs and governance requirements.
