We lead capital projects from the client’s side.

Capital projects rarely fail for lack of expertise. They fail because nobody owns the decisions. Advisers recommend, internal teams stretch, contractors fill the gap, and the client is left carrying the risk without anyone steering.

We started Integrate to close that gap. When appointed as your Employer’s Agent or NEC4 Project Manager, our authority is set out in the contract. We instruct, assess, certify and decide on your behalf, within limits you set. You keep ownership of the contract and the budget; we take responsibility for leading delivery.

Integrate is led by Ross Fitzgerald, Managing Director, who has spent more than 20 years in capital procurement and delivery across defence, commercial and infrastructure programmes.

Ross was part of the procurement team from the outset on the London 2012 Olympic Stadium, delivered by Sir Robert McAlpine. He led the mechanical and electrical works packages and introduced the CompeteFor tender system. Since then, he has worked on secure defence programmes and large-scale data centre programmes across the UK, Germany and Italy, writing and running contracts under NEC4, JCT, FIDIC and VOB/B.

That experience is the basis of the Integrate Commercial Framework, our method for every appointment. It is a five-stage process with clear gates and four commercial controls, built from what we have seen go wrong on projects and how to stop it happening again.

We are deliberately small. Integrate is a London-based practice of senior staff and trusted associates, so the people who win your project are the people who deliver it. There are no hand-offs to junior teams and no learning on your budget.

We are defence-led but sector agnostic. Defence clients come to us for discretion and rigour, and commercial and public sector clients come for the same. Our defence work is never named publicly.
