What we do

Most infrastructure problems that reach a director’s desk are not purely technical or purely commercial. They are problems where a technical reality and a contractual reality are in conflict, and where the organisation has no single senior person who can hold both. Three practices, and the intersection between them.

Enabling capability

Commercial intelligence where the evidence demands it.

Selected Westheath Infrastructure Advisory engagements can be supported by Westheath Commercial Intelligence — our specialist platform for structuring, tracing and examining complex commercial and contractual evidence.

It supports the advisory process where evidence volume, provenance or contractual complexity requires a more systematic examination, while judgement and advice remain principal-led.

The intersection

Independent Review and Second Opinion

Independent Review and Second Opinion is not a fourth practice. It is a mode: a short, senior, independent view on a specific question, delivered to a board, funder or executive.

How a decision is taken apart

Client types

Who we work with

Asset owners and operators

Independent advice where commercial, engineering and operational decisions intersect.

Authorities and procuring organisations

Senior input into complex procurement, transition and operational decisions.

Advisory and delivery teams

Specialist senior capability within wider multidisciplinary teams.

WIA may be appointed directly by a delivery organisation requiring independent senior advice on contract/commercial control of a complex technical scope or independent challenge to its own position.

WIA may provide named senior input within a wider multidisciplinary team assembled by others, where WIA is not directly appointed by the organisation facing the decision.
