Study management

Early-phase studies are critical to defining project scope, securing investment approvals, and establishing the foundations for successful delivery. For mining and government-funded projects, these studies must integrate technical, commercial, regulatory, and financial considerations — all while withstanding external scrutiny and governance assurance. 

At Cost Time Risk, we provide experienced leadership and management of complex studies, coordinating multidisciplinary teams to deliver robust, defensible outcomes that support decision-making at every stage gate. 

Our study management services include: 

• Study leadership across concept, pre-feasibility, and feasibility phases 

• Integrated management of design development, engineering inputs, and technical studies 

• Cost estimating and capital budgeting aligned with funding and investment requirements 

• Project schedule development to establish realistic execution timelines and milestones 

• Regulatory pathway planning, including approvals, environmental, and permitting considerations 

• Stakeholder engagement and governance support to meet sponsor, regulatory, and community expectations 

We bring deep experience working with mining proponents and government agencies, ensuring that studies are coordinated, disciplined, and fully aligned with both commercial objectives and public sector investment frameworks.
