1. PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS (PPP)
The application of PPP as a project delivery method has been expanding globally. My consultancy team
have been at the forefront of PPP planning, procurement advisory, asset management, and our evolution
from pure privatization to more complex partnerships.
PPP Planning Support
The public sector has turned to PPP (also known as P3 or PFI) to achieve a range of objectives, for
example, the simple transfer of commercial risk with a toll road, or the complex sharing of performance
risks in a school PPP. As an expert in the design, construction, finance, operation and maintenance of
infrastructure, my consultancy team are uniquely placed to advise the public sector or their private partners
on strategies to achieve their respective objectives throughout the life of a PPP project.

STRATEGIC CONSULTING
In the early planning stages of a project, my consultancy team advice on feasibility, delivery options, risk
analysis, and value for money, utilizing core engineering and commercial knowledge gained from
successful delivery and operation of a broad range of PPP projects.
PPP Procurement Advisory
Preparing for PPP procurement, especially in a new jurisdiction or industry sector, can be daunting. Our
staff includes a blend of former public sector professionals who understand this process from personal
experience and former PPP developers or financiers who understand the perspective of bidders. My
consultancy team advice on practical aspects of the legal or regulatory issues concerning PPPs, as well as
pre-developing a PPP project to improve feasibility, and modifying the planning approach to accommodate
a PPP procurement.
During the procurement process, my consultancy team offer our extensive experience which includes both
technical and commercial advisor for the public sector and advisor to the private sector. In the case of the
latter, we have assisted in bid development, served as lenders’ technical advisor, and as independent
certifier/ independent engineer. Our public sector technical and commercial advisory experience includes:
Development of the project scope
Development the payment mechanism
Preparation of the output specification/ performance requirements
Negotiating the deal and executing the PPP contract
Monitoring construction and operation
As markets have matured, the secondary sale of equity in PPP projects has become more commonplace,
with developers seeking to recycle scarce equity capital, and financial investors seeking stable index linked
assets. With our broad knowledge of the primary PPP market and the operation and management of
infrastructure assets, my consultancy team can provide Investor Advisory services to buyers or sellers
seeking to maximize value with acceptable risk.
PPP Asset Management
Our technical and commercial expertise of PPP models allows us to offer, as part of our asset management
services, the management or support of operational special purpose vehicles (SPVs) in a number of
jurisdictions. Our hands-on experience of PPP projects means that we have developed a database of
projects from which we are able to conduct market benchmarking. We have developed facilities
management strategies and whole life cost models using our extensive knowledge of the concession and
lenders agreements that govern PPPs.
2. ASSET MANAGEMENT
When it comes to fleet, facilities, and infrastructure assets, owners and operators realize value by
integrating management, engineering, and financial decision-making across the asset lifecycle to deliver
services reliably, efficiently, and effectively.

STRATEGIC CONSULTING
Economic and related analyses enable owners, planners, and policy makers to make more informed
decisions regarding the impacts of infrastructure investments and resource management on economic
development and resiliency at the local, metropolitan, regional, national, and international levels.
For sectors characterized by a mix of funding such as user fees, debt, and grants, my consultancy team
have developed numerous models projecting the financial and economic rates of return on a wide range of
projects. These issues are particularly important in determining how the project could be funded, and my
consultancy team have applied these principles in a variety of settings.
Our strategy is to be responsive to our clients’ needs, constraints, and the implications of investments for
policy decisions. We evaluate the benefits, costs, and tradeoffs of investment, quantify their impacts
economically, environmentally, and socially, and identify the economic impacts of different pricing and
funding strategies.
We have developed and used the support economic impact analysis, which is used for comprehensive
benefit cost and return on investment analyses. Also we evaluate the wider economic impacts of projects,
drawing on advanced regional economic modeling techniques. Our financial analysis is a proven and
reliable analysis to help craft long-term strategic plans, prioritize projects, determine the feasibility and
impacts of potential public investments, and assess large projects for governments and the public.
Clients who have retained my consultancy team for economic consulting services include owners and
operators of infrastructure, governments, private investors, financial institutions, and the major multilateral
funding organizations.

10. TECHNOLOGY
The Internet of Things (IoT) is by far one of the most disruptive yet groundbreaking evolutions in our society
today. As this significant technological advancement offers a unique opportunity to improve the way we
live, commute, and travel, it sheds a new light on how property and infrastructure owners need to adapt
and embrace the change.
My consultancy team are committed to being the leader in all property and infrastructure-related
components for smart and connected systems, offering both policy and technical support to public and
private clients and acting as the liaison between owners and the emerging technologies.
The technology for cars exists today to detect hazards, notify the driver or automatically react, minimizing
accidents. Bridges can be instrumented to transmit data related to structural integrity, avoiding bridge
failures. Today, sensors monitor and track huge amounts of data; cloud-based apps translate that data
into useful intelligence and transmit it to machines on the ground, enabling mobile, real-time responses.
We can help integrate technology, capture the data, and turn it into action for end users.
Technology applications are expanding into all aspects of our society and their impact is profound, as cities,
buildings, and infrastructure become ever smarter, with solutions for smart mobility, smart security, smart
healthcare, smart governance, and many more becoming commonplace.

11. VALUE CAPTURE
My consultancy team are a leader in applying value capture tools and innovative financing structures to
meet our clients’ critical funding needs on complex property and infrastructure projects. We define value
capture as the generation of revenues for property and infrastructure projects through incremental taxes
and/or assessments on private property, but every project is different and new value capture solutions can
often be devised.
We have served as a trusted advisor to departments of transportation, redevelopment agencies, transit
authorities, joint power authorities, and city and county governments for over a decade. We typically aim to
employ captured values to help close funding gaps and to finance or repay investments in public
infrastructure.
Specific value capture expertise includes:
Detailed analysis of potential new development values
Preparation of value capture reports based on revenue sources
Corridor and transit-oriented development site evaluations
Projections of value capture revenues
Governance structures to manage and allocate value capture revenues
The types of approaches used could be special assessments; tax increment financing; development impact
fees; and negotiated approaches such as developer contributions, air rights, and joint development
agreements or a variety of other means where a property or infrastructure investment results in new value
creation. Revenues can be applied to capital and operating costs, or in support of innovative delivery
methods, such as public-private partnership (PPP) structures.
By using tried and true tools in innovative ways, our team has assisted numerous public and private entities
in providing customized value capture approaches that solve clients’ urgent financing needs.
