Asset owners and operators
Independent advice where commercial, engineering and operational decisions intersect.
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.
A senior-led practice for decisions that are commercial and technical at the same time.The work is done by senior principals, not by a team assembled around them.
Maintenance regimes designed around how the asset actually behaves and what it actually costs.

View practice03The handover from delivery to operations, done deliberately.
View practiceEnabling capability
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 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 apartClient types
Independent advice where commercial, engineering and operational decisions intersect.
Senior input into complex procurement, transition and operational decisions.
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.
