Expertise In Project Development For Each Project Phase

Whether it be project inception and scoping or construction and start-up, Novopro can assist in the development to help employ an efficient strategy and de-risk the project while ensuring the project goals are achieved.

Novopro employs a Stage Gate Approach for project development to remove risk in a step-wise fashion and to ensure the minimal capital or developer risk is carried through placement of Stage Gate.
