Frequently asked questions

What's included in a feasibility study from Svelto Engineering?

A comprehensive feasibility study from Svelto provides the critical information needed to make informed project decisions. Our studies include site assessment (topography, access, utilities availability, environmental constraints), regulatory and planning analysis (zoning compliance, permit requirements, building codes), technical feasibility assessment (engineering challenges, construction methods, material availability), cost estimation (construction costs, professional fees, contingencies), project schedule projections, risk identification and mitigation strategies, financial analysis (for developers: return projections, market assessment), alternative approaches comparison, and clear recommendations with supporting documentation. Feasibility studies typically require 2-4 weeks depending on project complexity. This investment prevents costly mistakes by identifying issues before significant capital commitment, helping clients confidently proceed or strategically pivot based on objective analysis.

Why would I need independent design review services?

Independent design review provides valuable risk mitigation for clients undertaking significant projects. Svelto's design review services benefit clients in several scenarios: verifying design quality from less experienced firms, providing assurance to lenders or investors requiring technical due diligence, identifying constructability issues before construction begins (when corrections are exponentially cheaper), ensuring regulatory compliance and code adherence, optimizing designs through value engineering suggestions, resolving disputes between design professionals and contractors, and confirming designs meet your functional requirements. Our objective, third-party review leverages decades of combined experience to spot potential issues others might miss. For projects in Ghana where construction quality and design adequacy significantly impact outcomes, design review provides peace of mind that designs are sound, complete, and ready for successful construction.

How does engineering consultancy differ from full project execution?

Engineering consultancy provides strategic guidance and technical expertise without direct construction responsibility. This model suits clients who: need expert advice before committing to full projects, have in-house teams requiring specialized support, seek independent verification of designs or proposals from contractors, require expert witness services for disputes, need project management support without full design-build services, or want feasibility assessments and planning before design begins. Consultancy engagements are typically shorter-term, more flexible, and cost less than full project execution. However, they provide access to Svelto's expertise for critical decisions. Many clients begin with consultancy services (feasibility study, design review) then engage us for full project execution once confident in project viability. Both models have appropriate applications depending on client needs and project circumstances.

Can you provide project management for projects designed by other firms?

Absolutely. Svelto frequently provides project management services for projects where designs were completed by other firms or in-house teams. Our project management services include comprehensive construction oversight, contractor coordination and supervision, quality control and inspection, schedule management and progress tracking, budget monitoring and cost control, change order evaluation and negotiation, problem-solving and technical issue resolution, stakeholder communication and reporting, and commissioning and handover coordination. This arrangement works well when clients want to separate design and construction oversight for checks-and-balances, need additional bandwidth for complex projects, or require specialized project management expertise their internal teams lack. We work collaboratively with design firms while protecting client interests through objective oversight ensuring construction matches approved designs and meets quality standards.

What's the typical cost for engineering consultancy services in Ghana?

Engineering consultancy fees vary based on service type, project complexity, and engagement duration. General ranges for Svelto's consultancy services: Feasibility studies cost GHS 15,000-50,000+ depending on project scale and analysis depth; design review services typically run 2-4% of estimated construction costs; project management fees generally range 5-8% of construction costs for full-time oversight; technical due diligence assessments cost GHS 10,000-30,000 for typical commercial properties; expert witness services are billed hourly (GHS 500-1,000+ per hour depending on seniority); and value engineering studies typically cost GHS 20,000-60,000 based on project scope. These investments often save multiples of their cost by preventing issues, optimizing designs, or ensuring quality execution. We provide detailed fee proposals outlining scope, deliverables, timeline, and costs so clients understand exactly what they're receiving before engagement begins.
