Services
Albion provides a number of services to all sizes of business organizations. These are designed to provide our clients with everything from simple consultations through financing and up to completely financed, built, and delivered turn-key projects. The descriptions below are summaries, so please contract us for more information.
To deliver these services, Albion assembled four key elements:
- A core senior staff with exceptional skills and experience. Please see Management for more information.
- A consortium of world-class engineering, procurement, and construction ("EPC") companies.
- A team of financial institutions to provide the Treasury Service Programs.
- A global network of local representation by highly skilled and knowledgeable companies and individuals.
These key elements provide the wide range of services necessary to fully finance, design, and engineer all aspects of a project, procure all components and materials, construct to the highest standards, thoroughly test each system, train the local staff, and deliver it fully operational. The key vendors are our primary Engineering, Procurement, and Construction ("EPC") companies in our consortium (see Companies below). These are all world-recognized leaders in the EPC industry, such as Bechtel, Jacob Engineering, Parsons, and Kiewit.
Albion typically deploys its senior personnel in the central development and executive management positions for projects. This ensures coordination between the various areas of the project, early detection and proactive problem resolution, and proper use of funds. Albion, in full coordination with our Client, will hire and administer the prime contractors and EPC vendors, administer payments, conduct audits, and track progress for the client.
Please Note: Albion's Sovereign Program is a pre-established combination of the services below specifically for large, national projects. Please See our Solutions page for more information.
Enterprise Architecture
Albion provides Enterprise Architect ("EA") services for corporate entities. Throughout their existence, corporations are faced with shifting markets, wide swings in economies, major cultural and demographic upheavals, and fast technological changes. As the vast majority of enterprises are focused on their particular industry, these changes usually catch the corporation by surprise, forcing an overly fast, unstable, and costly adjustment effort to meet them. This scenario is sufficiently common that the average life of an enterprise-level company is about 30 years.
As an EA, Albion provides an outside perspective and the talent pool needed to address the unique corporate strategies that keep a corporation in the forefront of its market. We conduct comprehensive enterprise analysis, determine best practice solutions, and implement the solution's design, planning, and implementation for the successful execution of a desired corporate strategy.
Project Development & Oversight
Many of our clients have strong capabilities in their core business but can still require additional services when initiating a major project. This can be especially true for technology-heavy projects and/or those in difficult environments. Additionally, financing requirements can constrict project flexibility.
Albion solves these issues by both sourcing the financing and acting as the Project Director, coordinating the major interactions between the vendors and the client. Albion focuses on the strategic progress and financing, while leaving project management to the combination of the client's expertise and the prime project contractors. Our services include on-going project auditing for both the financial and construction efforts to ensure on-time quality delivery and proper use of funds.
Project Financing
Albion created and organized certain treasury service programs and administers it for the project in coordination with the selected financial institutions. Please see Finance for more information
