For U.S. Design & Engineering Firms · International Practice

Bank-funded design and engineering work, reached before the tender.

Roughly $150 billion of infrastructure is funded each year by the development banks, and most U.S. firms never compete for it because they do not know how the money moves.

What we do

We do not wait for tenders to be published, we create the opportunity. Projects are identified two to three years ahead of procurement, while the terms of reference are still being written. We work the banks, the ministries, and the executing agencies directly, and we put your firm in the room.

Engagement A monthly retainer plus a success fee, on a six-month initial term. Three-year tail on success-fee opportunities from the date of introduction. We succeed when you win work.

STEP 3 Open the right doors Meetings with decision-makers that would otherwise take years to earn.

STEP 4 Position you to win Access plus market knowledge means pursuits likely to succeed.
