Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Cold Eyes Review, and why do I need one?
A Cold Eyes Review is an independent, expert evaluation of your modular construction strategy, identifying risks, gaps, and opportunities that may be overlooked. It helps optimize execution, reduce costs, and improve project outcomes—giving you confidence in your decisions.
When is the best time to conduct a Cold Eyes Review?
Cold Eyes Reviews are most effective during early project stages, such as Pre-FEED (FEL 2) and FEED (FEL 3), when key decisions are still flexible. However, they can also provide value at later stages by refining execution plans and mitigating risks.
How does a Cold Eyes Review save my project money?
By identifying inefficiencies, reducing rework, and optimizing modular execution strategies, a Cold Eyes Review helps prevent costly delays and budget overruns. Many clients uncover hidden savings and opportunities that improve project ROI.
Our team already conducts internal reviews—why bring in DyCat Solutions?
Even the best internal teams can be deeply involved in the project, making it challenging to spot hidden risks or opportunities. Our independent experts bring a fresh, unbiased perspective, backed by 200+ years of modular execution experience, to complement your team’s expertise and ensure nothing is overlooked.
How long does a Cold Eyes Review take?
The duration depends on project complexity, but most reviews take a few weeks. We work efficiently to deliver actionable insights without slowing your progress.
Will a Cold Eyes Review delay my project?
No. In fact, it helps prevent delays by addressing risks early and optimizing your execution strategy. Our review process fits within your project timeline to enhance—not hinder—progress.
What kind of risks does a Cold Eyes Review identify?
We assess technical, logistical, financial, and execution risks, including supply chain challenges, misaligned modular layouts, inefficient workflows, and overlooked compliance issues.
How detailed are the recommendations?
Our reports go beyond high-level observations. We provide specific, actionable recommendations with clear mitigation strategies, cost impacts, and execution improvements tailored to your project.
Can DyCat Solutions help implement the recommendations?
Yes. We don’t just identify issues—we offer expert guidance to help you integrate improvements, optimize execution, and train your team for long-term success.
