The scope and timeline depend on the complexity of the facility and the questions being addressed. Many assessments can be completed efficiently, with initial findings provided in a short time-frame and more detailed analysis available as needed.

Consulting is intended to reduce overall project risk and cost by preventing missteps, over-specification, or rework. In many cases, the cost of consulting is small compared to the savings it helps identify or the issues it helps avoid. 

Deliverables vary by scope but may include written summaries, recommendations, energy or system evaluations, and guidance suitable for both operations and financial decision-makers.
