Better Business Cases
Better Business Cases provide a structured way to present the case for investment to decision-makers
Better Business Cases (BBC) is a methodology that provides objective analysis in a consistent format to decision-makers. They are used by various government agencies to present investment proposals, ensuring they are well-reasoned, cost-effective, and aligned with the agency’s objectives. TEAM can help you get your investment proposal over the line using the 5 Case Model Framework
- Strategic case – is there a need for investment.
- Economic case – does the investment offer value for money.
- Commercial case – is the investment viable.
- Financial case – is the investment affordable.
- Management case – is the investment achievable.
Contract and legal advice
TEAM can provide you practical advice on contracts, claims, and contract related issues.
We can provide assistance in drafting contract and tender documentation, based on your particular project needs and your preferences and approach to project risks. TEAM has direct access to both construction industry and contract specialists, as well as professionally qualified legal counsel.
We can assist and advise you in matters of contractual interpretation, dispute resolution and contract mediation. We can assess your contractual position, advise your next steps and to represent you in any subsequent contractual escalation or negotiation.
Sustainability and environmental advice
TEAM are strong advocates of protecting New Zealand’s natural resources and assets.
We are not supporters of simply finding the cheapest way to achieve “Green Star” ratings; rather we advocate environmental responsibility.
The world is becoming more and more environmentally aware and astute, and is rightly demanding that appropriate consideration be given to the environmental impact of projects. All projects have a life cycle that extends long beyond the initial construction phase and, as such, leave legacies on which we will be judged by future generations.
We encourage all parties with whom we work to consider the long-term effects of projects and to make project decisions based not on what is “least bad”, but on what is good. We can help you to evaluate the pros and cons of design decisions in an environmental context, and connect you with appropriate organisations and bodies to assist and support you.
Asset Management
The capital cost of a project is a small fraction of the asset’s whole-of-life cost.
TEAM can provide asset management advice to ensure that not only capital cost, but ongoing operational and maintenance costs, are fully considered from the outset. We can offer Asset Management services and advice for both new projects and existing portfolios, to ensure that the right financial balance is struck. We can help you to develop proactive, rather than reactive, asset management plans.
