Services

Four practices covering the engineering work manufacturers ask for most.

From the cost model to the shop floor to the back office. Senior engineering judgement, delivered without big-firm overhead.

COST

Cost Engineering & Commercial Analysis

Where a program is losing money, we build the evidence that proves it. Should-cost models, activity-based costing and customer cost breakdowns that hold up under OEM scrutiny, assembled into a commercial case your team can take into a negotiation.

PROCESS

Manufacturing & Process Engineering

On-the-floor engineering work that finds the real constraint on throughput. Cycle time, material flow, layout, equipment logic, measured from plant data rather than estimated.

DESIGN

Design Engineering

Production-ready mechanical design and engineering documentation. Drawings, models and design packages made to the standards an OEM, a tooling supplier or a plant engineer will sign off, across automotive and fabrication contexts.

AI & AUTOMATION

AI & Workflow Automation

For manufacturers drowning in invoices, RFQs, drawings and quote tracking, we build custom tools. AI-assisted document and drawing extraction, Python applications, Excel automation and reporting dashboards that take repetitive work off your engineers.

Full scope

Everything that lands on our desk.

The four practices above, itemised. This is the day-to-day request queue your own engineers are working from.

Where our design work starts and stops. The part geometry comes from the OEM. We do not design the vehicle component itself. What we design is everything required to build it. The process, the weld sequence and times, the fixtures, the carts and racks, the material handling, and the plant layout the part moves through.
