Contracts, cost and commercial management for water and infrastructure projects.
CEACM Consultants Limited helps project teams keep technical delivery aligned with contractual entitlement. We work with contractors, employers, engineers, developers and project financiers on notices, measurement, valuation, variations, claims and commercial reporting.
Bridging delivery and entitlement
On most infrastructure projects the site team, the engineer and the commercial team work from different records. CEACM brings them together. Our work is built on timely notices, reliable measurement, disciplined records, clear valuation, claim substantiation, commercial strategy and structured communication with stakeholders.
What we do
What CEACM helps protect
Timely notices, correct clause references, clear reservation of rights and complete supporting records.
Payment applications, certification follow-up, valuation support and delayed payment tracking.
Linkage between instructions, procurement events, site constraints, programme effects and time-related costs.
Organised documentation that can be reviewed by employers, engineers, funders, auditors and dispute forums.
Water and infrastructure focus
Our strongest sector thread is water and sanitation: supply rehabilitation, transmission mains, borehole connections, pumping systems, tanks, bulk metering, sewerage infrastructure and dam rehabilitation. These projects involve existing assets, incomplete records and live operations, which is where technical and commercial questions meet.

Questions
Contractors and joint ventures, employers and developers, engineers and project managers, public agencies and project financiers. CEACM supports the party that engages it and does not act for the other party on the same project.
No. FIDIC contracts, including the MDB Harmonised Edition, are a large part of the work. We also support projects on EU-EDF and similar forms. If your contract is a different form, send us the form name and we will say whether we can help.
Services may be performed remotely or within the countries required by project needs. Referenced experience is in Kenya, Uganda, Zambia and The Gambia.
No. CEACM gives contract management and commercial advice. Where a matter needs legal advice, for example on whether a contractual time limit would be enforced, we recommend you consult an advocate.
