Independent advisory for power transmission, construction management and safety governance documentation - structured under the COS™ Methodology and billed fortnightly. No retainer. No minimum. Pay for what you use.
Every service track is delivered independently - you engage only what you need. All advisory is governed by the COS™ three-pillar framework: Compliance, Oversight, Sustainability.
Advisory on 66kV to 400kV underground cable systems. Based on paid transmission survey and construction management engagements in Qatar and Bahrain at 66kV, 132kV, 220kV and 400kV.
Construction management delivered by a Certified Construction Manager for infrastructure projects - from contract initiation through commissioning.
Independent three-pillar review producing a scored, evidence-based COS™ Assessment Report for any infrastructure project.
Safety governance documentation and audit readiness. Not technical OSH advisory: this is documentation, management system structure and audit preparation, which is what the underlying training supports.
Governance, compliance and contract administration for transmission projects including overhead line and substation packages. Delivered as governance and contract administration rather than technical or design advisory.
Governance and compliance support for World Bank, ADB, and IFC-funded infrastructure projects in Nepal and South Asia.
Published because a conflict a client discovers later is worse than one declared at the start. CM Academy Consulting holds several roles, and they are set out here in full.
Governance services are offered to any party. Compliance Registers, NCR systems, Sustainability Baselines, COS™ audits, governance documentation and training are the same work whoever commissions them, and good governance serves the project rather than any party within it. These are offered to owners, consultants and contractors alike.
Party-specific advisory requires a declared client. Contract administration support, claims documentation and dispute avoidance are delivered for one named party, recorded in the engagement letter. The other side of that same matter is declined.
Competitive and selection work is offered to one side only. CM Academy Consulting acts bidder-side on South Asian transmission procurement, in consultation with Adwaith Power Projects. Because of that, no owner-side tender review or contractor pre-qualification is offered in transmission in South Asia. No disclosure can cure acting on both sides of a selection, so the service is simply not offered.
A conflict check is carried out at the first conversation, before scope is confirmed and before anything is billable. If a conflict exists, you are told then.
On the COS™ certification specifically. The same person wrote the methodology, teaches it, reviews the capstones and issues the certificates, and CM Academy Consulting would be the CMCI Recertification Point Provider if the application is approved. No independent party reviews the course content. That is stated plainly rather than left to be noticed. The methodology itself is published open-access under CC BY 4.0 so that anyone can examine it, and no CMCI Renewal Point value is claimed unless and until the provider application is approved.
Advisory time is documented in a fortnightly timesheet. You receive one professional invoice every two weeks covering hours worked and activities completed. No minimum commitment. No retainer. Engage for a single advisory question or a twelve-month project - the model works for both.
Advisory rates depend on the scope, the duration, and the compliance regime the project works under, so they are quoted per engagement rather than published. Your rate is agreed in writing at scope confirmation, before any billing begins, and no hour is ever billed at a rate you have not agreed in writing. Ask for a rate in the first conversation and you will be given one.
One conversation. No commitment. You share the project context - we confirm whether and how advisory adds value.
We agree the advisory scope, the rate, and the engagement start date in writing. The rate agreed here is the rate billed.
One-page document. Digital signature accepted. Billing begins from signature date.
Timesheet submitted every two weeks. Invoice follows within 3 working days. Transparent, predictable, professional.
