We lead, deliver and recover complex industrial property, intralogistics, and automation solutions. Engage us early for expert contract review and strategic guidance, ensuring commercial control and seamless execution from day one. We take charge and drive success.
What We Do
In-House Expertise Across Construction & Automation
We bring deep experience in both construction and automation, providing integrated solutions from planning through execution. Our team handles base builds and systems integration under one roof for seamless project delivery
Vendor-Neutral Oversight with Dual-Side Experience
Our unique advantage comes from having built and delivered automation systems on both sides. As former vendor specialists turned client advocates, we've created the contract frameworks and operational standards used across the industry. This dual perspective lets us anticipate and neutralise vendor loopholes before they're exploited, bridge communication gaps between builders, operators, and tech teams, and enforce contracts with insider knowledge of implementation realities
Advanced Contractual Fluency & Governance
Specialists in AS4910/4920 contracts, we've designed the contract frameworks that govern today's automation projects. From developing head contracts to defending delay claims, challenging variations, and resolving disputes, we provide strategic oversight that makes contracts work in your favor at every stage
End-to-End Project Leadership
We manage both base builds and automation streams, eliminating gaps to ensure smooth, aligned delivery from start to finish. Proven Project Recovery When projects stall, we restore control and drive successful outcomes. Our experts ensure contracts work for all stakeholders, with documented faster recovery times for troubled projects
Trusted Industry Partner
Major retailers, logistics firms and developers rely on our consistent, high-quality service to deliver long-term value and success
Unbiased Operational Assessments
Our vendor-neutral evaluations identify inefficiencies and deliver tailored improvement recommendations
DC Design Services
We transform operational requirements into optimized layouts, ensuring seamless integration of automation with power, MHE, and base builds. Our designs balance throughput, safety, and future scalability. Strategic Feasibility & RFQ Support We provide expert guidance to help clients make informed, cost-effective decisions for operational excellence
Stream & Integration Leadership
We align vendors with insider expertise—"because we've been in their shoes"—bridging gaps between builders, automation teams, and operators to ensure accountability across all project phases
Testing & Commissioning
We go beyond vendor protocols with a simple motto: "We don’t test systems—we break them (so you won’t)." Our stress testing identifies failure points before go-live, guaranteeing zero surprise defects in operation
Who We Are
Priority One Group is a specialist consultancy providing integrated solutions across industrial property, intralogistics, automation, and operations. Led by experienced professionals with expertise in both construction and automation, we deliver technical fluency combined with strong contractual strategy, oversight, and governance.
Having worked on both vendor and client sides, we bring a unique, balanced perspective to every project. From planning and design to build, commissioning, and stakeholder management, we ensure precision and clarity at every stage, enabling seamless project delivery and long-term success.
Problems We Solve
“The building and automation teams aren’t aligned! No one is taking ownership”
We coordinate across services, structural, and vendor scopes — managing the integration risk from slab pour through to go-live.
“We’re being held hostage by conflicting contract interpretations”
We provide contract clarity. Whether it’s LD exposure, variation scope, or superintendent interpretation — we step in with confidence and neutrality
“Unions have shut down a work site and no-one can explain what is next”
We reframe the issue within the program, rework the critical path, and bring calm, commercially grounded leadership into high-pressure situations
“Our vendor’s commissioning plan doesn’t line up with site readiness”
We plan for readiness. We sequence testing windows, shutdowns, and energisation needs so commissioning isn’t derailed by base build gaps
“No one’s talking to each other across construction, automation, and operations”
We align stakeholders. Through formal stream leadership, steering sessions, and delivery governance, we restore visibility and collaboration
“We don’t even know if automation is the right call — let alone what kind”
We assess the operation and provide a phased, realistic roadmap — or tell you if now’s not the time
“This project has gone off the rails, and we’re just trying to stop the bleeding”
We reset it. Commercially. Technically. Operationally. And we do it without burning relationships
“We’re facing substantial liquidated damages due to project delays”
Leveraging our vendor and client experience, we mitigate risks. Proactive management of misalignments, vendor performance, and penalties ensures projects remain on track and compliant.
