Consultation services

What this service covers

An experienced set of eyes before you commit money: plant walk-downs, problem evaluations, second opinions on quotes (including ours), and honest recommendations with budget ranges. Sometimes the deliverable is a project; sometimes it is “don’t spend that money — do this instead.” Both are wins.

Good reasons to book one

• A chronic problem nobody has solved. Spillage, dust, plugging, belt damage — fresh eyes with 35 years of pattern-matching.
• A big quote you want pressure-tested. We’ll tell you what the scope should be, and what it shouldn’t.
• A plant you just took over. A condition survey that tells you what will bite first.
• A capital plan that needs sequencing. What to fix this year, what can wait, what to stop maintaining and replace.

Problems worth a consult

How a consult runs

• 1. The walkthrough — your people, our people, the actual equipment, running if possible.
• 2. Straight findings — what’s fine, what’s failing, what’s dangerous, in priority order.
• 3. A plan you own — recommendations you can execute with us, with others, or in-house. The advice isn’t a sales funnel; it’s the product.

What to have ready

• The symptom list — and who knows each problem best
• Access — an hour with the equipment running is worth three with it down
• History — past fixes, past vendors, past disappointments included
