ACE ® - Scope Consistency Analysis
Modified methodology of PMI Management. Main differentiator is the very low delegation, with a single professional, highly qualified in Construction Contracts, assuming all the knowledge of the work, its formulation and formal presentation, thus being able to correctly manage RISKS and OPPORTUNITIES, creating an advanced plan, linking it to a global BUDGET of the business from the Premises phases to its effective delivery and operation. Projects require qualified technical, commercial and legal teams, aiming for constant assertiveness and correct communication. Time management does not always allow covering the complete and interconnected SCOPE. Our work is focused on detailing the content of all Engineering, Construction and Assembly specialties, fully validating it in partial stages with our clients, allowing for extremely qualified, detailed and managerial results so that the Business Manager has in-depth knowledge for the best technical-contractual administration of their Complex Project.

We prepare Critical Analysis of Technical Projects in:
We develop detailed Value Engineering and Capex analyses in:
At ARCHITEK, our business is driven by innovative thinking and extensive expertise. We work with transparency and are dedicated to providing high-quality information at every stage of a project. Our service portfolio covers diverse modules that, due to their complexity, require highly customized work.
We conduct a thorough, systematic, and documented scope assessment, fully verifying contractual documentation for construction projects. We prescribe value engineering and a meticulous analysis of risks and opportunities, with full client interaction. We present validations and solutions for incompatibilities, omitted or complementary scopes between disciplines, evaluating assumptions, specifications, deadlines and their impacts, demands, and commercial valuation criteria that generate feasibility studies and forecasts.
We manage warranties and insurance, licensing, certifications, logistics, functionality, testing and commissioning, potential defects, maintenance and future operation, as well as other variables in complex projects. Our goal is to establish fair valuation, determine ambitious deadlines and their risks, aiming for contractual protection without legal loopholes, through the interaction of detailed scopes.
Software and the Right to Information
We are extremely knowledgeable about the main software on the market, developed and used by the best Civil Construction companies, and we respect copyright. We have been developing our programming skills since 1986, adjusting advanced calculation, visualization, extraction, and editing tools for other software, using our vast SQL database through image management, utilizing languages (PHP, HTML, CSS, jQuery, C++, Python, RandRisk Algorithms) and other open-source tools. Our deliverables are web pages for viewing via restricted, encrypted websites, accessible by any browser and easily transcribed into print format, and database extractions commonly used for ERPs and market software. When necessary, we use specialized partners who have special software licenses and responsibilities for use.
We invest in knowledge and intellectual work, always respecting the rights of others. We believe that, even with the best technological tools, complex projects can only be accomplished with skilled and experienced people, ensuring the verification of complex scopes, regardless of the technology used.
We utilize our technical and legal expertise to support the formation of partnerships and business protection. After assessing the risks with the client, we offer an action plan for future contract management, focused on the sound CONTRACTUAL MANAGEMENT of the most impactful risks.
We are a select group of professionals with over 30 years of experience in managing the construction of large-scale projects in the biggest Brazilian companies. We act as “business owners,” building relationships and knowledge through the practice of executing and managing large-scale projects, applying high-performance business management systems.
We are united in the pursuit of quality and results in complex constructions for various types of contracts. With this background, and without losing sight of the importance of self-knowledge, we have become specialists in formulating and countering additional claims and demands.
We recognize that retentions, warranties, insurance, penalties, and liquidated damages are risks and, consequently, costs embedded in contracts. Balancing business needs and their application under Brazilian law is crucial, especially for international investors who bring their contractual culture with them.
Our expertise allows us to state that the application of restrictive and “leonine” clauses has little practical impact against construction claims. The best way to mitigate this is through a comprehensive scope, where legal clauses are adapted to the technical conditions of each situation. A thorough understanding of the project scope has been essential to support the best and most reputable law firms and lawyers specializing in litigation mitigation, ensuring a correct understanding of the contracted technical scope, risks, and claims.
We guarantee complete confidentiality within the legal framework, taking responsibility for the integrity of our processes. We recognize that any business requires absolute secrecy, and we commit to transferring complete knowledge about risks and opportunities in all technical, commercial, and legal activities, as required.

Our process consists of three distinct and formal stages of interaction with our clients, ensuring clear definitions and intermediate decisions for a successful final conclusion.See FLOWCHART and PMO
We are full-fledged managers in technical, commercial, legal, and regulatory requirements. However, complex projects demand specialization. We establish formal partnerships with the best companies and professionals in the market for highly innovative and high-risk business demands. We align the scenario with our clients beforehand, following the (ACE) methodology.
We verify and validate the assumptions of each project to ensure clarity in the contract. We present management results so that leadership understands the actual implementations. We develop WBS matrices for different types of projects, enriching our knowledge with each new case.
We conduct a comprehensive survey of the interfaces between technical disciplines, even in the preliminary phases, such as drawings, reports, calculations, and specifications. We include planning, budgeting, feasibility studies, contract drafts, and legal requirements for the entire business cycle. We guarantee certification, quality, safety, and prepare the project for future operation and maintenance, considering commissioning and assisted start-up.
We have no interest in directly managing, building, or developing projects, although we are fully prepared for these activities. We apply our knowledge exclusively to contracting clients or management companies, assisting contractors with fair and complete scope proposals. We also offer contract administration planning and risk mitigation actions for claims and construction add-ons.
We guarantee the complete transfer of intellectual property rights for our work, fully transcribing the content and taking care in handling the information of our clients and the professionals involved in the development of the analyzed scope.
