Cost Control · Earned Value · Commercial GovernanceAbout PiVOTiQ
PiVOTiQ is a boutique consultancy founded in Brisbane in 2023. It was built on the recognition that access to genuinely senior commercial expertise — the kind that comes from having lived both sides of the table on complex, high-value projects — should not require a large firm engagement model and the overhead that comes with it.
The practice draws on deep experience across commercial and contracts management, claims, dispute resolution and cost engineering, developed across major infrastructure, civil, resources and industrial projects in Australia and internationally. Sectors served include road and rail, utilities, maritime, oil and gas, commercial and social infrastructure.
PiVOTiQ works directly with the decision-maker — director, commercial manager, project manager — delivering practical, outcomes-focused advice that is ready to act on, not a report that requires further interpretation.
Sectors & Coverage
PiVOTiQ's experience spans the sectors where contractual complexity, programme pressure, and financial exposure intersect most acutely.
Both Sides of the Table
Contract structuring and risk allocation, assessment of contractor claims, management of superintendent and contract administration obligations, and dispute response strategy — protecting the principal's position through delivery and beyond.
Pre-contract risk assessment, scope gap identification, variation entitlement, claims preparation and prosecution, and dispute strategy — building and defending the contractor's commercial position from mobilisation through final account.
PiVOTiQ Commercial Intelligence
Alongside its consulting practice, PiVOTiQ offers Contract Risk Intelligence — a structured, AI-enabled contract review delivered as a professional report within one business day. No onboarding, no platform, no subscription required to get started. Human QC on every report.
Send a contract. Receive a structured intelligence report identifying and rating every material risk — clause by clause — with plain-English explanation and, at the highest tier, a negotiation playbook with your position before you sign.
Every review includes an editable risk register you own outright — no login, no platform — so the analysis becomes a tool you work through negotiation and administer the contract with. At the top tier, CRI Live answers questions about that contract in real time, drawn only from your own completed reports.
Priced transparently, on the page, without a sales call. Available to sub-enterprise contractors who cannot justify a full senior commercial review on every package they tender.
Calibrated for Australian contract forms (AS 4000, AS 4902, AS 2124, NEC, FIDIC) and South African forms (NEC, JBCC, GCC, FIDIC) — and for bespoke and heavily amended contracts drafted from scratch — with the applicable statutory context built in.
