Market Intelligence

The decisions that define a megaproject's outcome are made before procurement begins. We give our clients the intelligence they need to make those decisions with confidence.

Our Capability

Market Intelligence That Answers the Questions That Matter

Most market studies describe the market. Ours answer the questions specific to a client, on a specific project, at a specific moment in time. The difference is not methodology — it is judgement built on deep megaproject experience.

We have delivered market intelligence across some of the most complex capital projects in the US and internationally — from a confidential life sciences investment in the Research Triangle of North Carolina, where our client needed to understand the competitive project landscape and trade contractor availability before committing to a procurement strategy, to supply chain fragility assessments for the UK Ministry of Defence, where the ability to detect early warning signs across thousands of suppliers became a matter of operational security.

"The main challenge with market studies is to make them relevant to the client's problems — not only identifying and quantifying issues, but providing a clear understanding of what they mean for the client's plans and how to deal with them. A key challenge is not to regurgitate publicly or commercially available data, but to dissect it, identify what is relevant, and provide analysis that gives real answers."

The Power of OPUS

Seeing the Market the Way Your Competitors Cannot

Most Owners approach procurement with a view of their own project. OPUS gives our clients a view of the entire market — every significant project in planning and under construction, broken down by sector, location, phase, and total investment. That difference in perspective is what separates reactive procurement from strategic procurement.

The chart below illustrates what that looks like in practice: $476 billion in construction expenditure committed across the US between June 2026 and June 2028. For any Owner planning a megaproject in the US right now, this is not background context — it is the operating environment that will determine whether they can secure the right contractors, at the right price, at the right time. OPUS makes that visible. And visibility — at the right moment — is what changes procurement outcomes.
