How We Help Clients
Securing Project Funding and Resources Allocation
We assist public sector clients in understanding the critical steps necessary to secure funding and advance their projects. Through investment modelling, we create evidence-backed business cases that incorporate risk-based processes to ensure effective resource allocation.
Our approach equips decision-makers with the data needed to protect or increase budgets, demonstrating performance forecasts that align with corporate objectives. By providing clear, actionable insights, we help clients navigate the funding landscape with confidence.
Meeting Carbon Targets and Achieving cost savings
Navigating the complexities of carbon reduction is essential for sustainable development. At Metis we apply PAS2080 principles to assess carbon impacts across all programmes. This allows us to identify key areas for improvement and develop tailored, costed strategies that align with our clients’ organisational goals.
By working closely with clients, we help them not only meet their carbon targets but also achieve cost savings and enhance overall sustainability. We are committed to supporting clients in reaching their Net Zero targets through ongoing guidance and performance monitoring, ensuring they stay on track to a more sustainable future.
Advancing Projects and Programmes
We drive engineering projects to successful completion by supporting clients in moving complex initiatives forward from inception to delivery. Our approach combines strategic planning, effective project management, and collaborative teamwork, ensuring that every stage is handled efficiently.
By leveraging our expertise, we help clients navigate the complexities of engineering projects, addressing challenges proactively and facilitating seamless communication among stakeholders. This commitment to collaboration enables our clients to focus on their core objectives, ultimately leading to successful project outcomes and long-term sustainability.
