Who We Are
About Forge & Frame
An independent engineering, project management, and HR services consultancy headquartered in Co. Tipperary, Ireland.
Vision Statement
“To be the premier remote technical back-office partner for the global engineering and construction sector — redefining project execution by delivering end-to-end off-site tendering, design, estimation, procurement, project controls, commissioning support, HR services, and flexible remote staffing without geographic or site limitations.”
Mission Statement
“Our mission at Forge & Frame is to relieve engineering companies of back-office technical loads so their field teams can focus on site execution. We deliver complete off-site work packages — from tendering, initial design, take-offs, estimation, and procurement to project controls, human resources / talent acquisition, and pre-commissioning / commissioning documentation — offering flexible, on-demand remote manpower available on hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, or long-term engagement terms.”
Our Story
Forge & Frame was founded on a simple idea: complex projects deserve partners who combine genuine engineering depth with delivery discipline. We bring design, estimation, planning, commissioning, and workforce capability together under one roof — so our clients get integrated off-site support instead of fragmented handoffs.
Our leadership brings over 20 years of cross-cultural experience across Europe, the Gulf, and India — spanning energy, infrastructure, commercial, and residential projects delivered from tender to closeout.
How We Work
We operate off-site as a seamless extension of your team — whether that's a single planning resource, a fixed-scope discipline package, or a full tendering engine behind your commercial function.

How We Operate
Corporate Operational Policy
01 / Purpose & Scope
This policy governs all operations, engagement models, and quality standards for Forge & Frame as a specialised off-site technical services provider. Our capabilities encompass the entire non-site project lifecycle:
Design & Technical Support
CAD/BIM modelling, engineering drafting, design coordination, and technical documentation.
Quantity Take-Offs & Estimation
Bill of Quantities (BOQ) preparation, material take-offs, tender estimating, and cost modelling.
Tendering & Bid Management
Comprehensive tender lifecycle management — RFQ analysis, market intelligence, tender engineering and strategy alignment, supplier/subcontractor evaluation, cost modelling and cash flow preparation, risk quantification, and proposal compilation.
Procurement Coordination
Requisition management, vendor quote evaluation, technical compliance reviews, and supply chain tracking.
Planning & Project Controls
Master scheduling, baseline management, progress tracking, delay analysis, and performance dashboards.
Commissioning Support
Remote development of Commissioning Work Packages (CWPs), system handover dossiers, inspection and test plans (ITPs), pre-commissioning checklists, and operations and maintenance (O&M) documentation.
Digital & Web Solutions
Data pipelines, custom web applications, client portals, and automated reporting dashboards.
HR & Global Workforce Solutions
End-to-end technical recruitment, talent sourcing, candidate screening and technical validation, offshore workforce management (payroll, compliance, onboarding), and mobilisation support / work authorisation documentation.
02 / Service Delivery & Commercial Models
Forge & Frame operates exclusively off-site using two adaptable resourcing structures designed to scale alongside client demand:
Model A · Fixed Scope
Turnkey Off-Site Work Packages
- Execution
- Forge & Frame takes total ownership of a defined off-site package — from single-stage estimating/take-off tasks and complete tender submission packages to commissioning documentation sets or full master project schedules.
- Governance
- Managed under fixed milestones, structured quality review gates, and guaranteed turnaround schedules.
Model B · Time-Based Resourcing
Flexible Remote Manpower
- Execution
- Dedicated, remote technical specialists — planners, estimators, tender managers, procurement managers, CAD technicians, commissioning support engineers, or HR specialists — assigned to seamlessly plug into client workflows.
- Engagement Options
- Available on an hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, or long-term contract basis — eliminating traditional employee overheads, site logistics, and mobilisation expenses.
03 / Key Operating Principles & Commitments
Strictly Off-Site Operational Focus
All deliverables are executed using enterprise-grade cloud tools, BIM software, scheduling suites, and virtual collaboration channels — avoiding site travel, physical HSE liabilities, and mobilisation delays.
Technical Precision & Peer Review
Every estimate, CAD sheet, tender package, procurement tracker, commissioning package, and schedule passes through internal quality verification before release — guaranteeing accuracy and technical compliance.
Seamless Virtual Integration
Professionals align directly with the client’s internal communication habits, reporting structures, and preferred software platforms to operate as a frictionless extension of their team.
Scalability & Cost Optimisation
Flexible timeframes (hourly through to long-term) ensure clients can scale back-office capacity up or down dynamically depending on tender volume, project phases, or resource constraints.
Confidentiality & Data Protection
All proprietary designs, tender pricing, procurement data, candidate information, and client files are secured under strict Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) and managed via encrypted, isolated cloud environments.
