Frequently Asked Questions

RB Plant treat each and every client and their challenges as unique and we avoid a “one size fits all” approach. We relish a challenge and thinking outside the box as this brings the best out of our team as well as supporting our clients to see their dreams and aspirations become reality

We can mobilise the most highly experienced and qualified resource to fit seamlessly within your team and fill any gaps along with a level of engagement to suit the varying demands of any requirement you might have.

Our engineers and project managers also have an excellent balance of customer facing and technical skills thereby delivering high quality engineering in a flexible and cost-effective manner no matter what the size of project is.

More than 80% of our turnover is from repeat clients, which is no accident or surprise and testimony to our culture, values and the trust that clients place in us. Our bespoke, transparent, flexible and value-engineering approach combined with a “one-team” ethos results in mutual success between our clients, partners and ourselves.

One common denominator with most of our clients and the people that work within them is that they’re maxed out with their day-to-day core activities and have little, if any, time to run any expansion or improvement projects

This is why if you onboarded us, we not only get acquainted with your specific project challenges, but also understand your team structure to see how we can integrate and work as a single team leveraging off any expertise you may have and acting as an extension of your team, avoiding any unnecessary duplication of effort.

As well as our excellent technical and project management capabilities, we also pride ourselves on excellent and transparent communication so that any pitfalls can be identified at the outset. We always allow for a structured approach to meetings, design reviews, etc so you would know exactly what is expected from your side in terms of required documents, information etc.

We can also provide you with a resident “client-side” engineer/project manager to support you in gathering information for the smooth and timely running of projects if your team has limited time.

This is very much a case-by-case basis. Our projects can range from flexible ad-hoc design consultancy fees from £1000s to multi-million projects.

We often get asked how much the overall project will cost. For a very modest fee we can carry out a CapEx estimating design, which proves highly useful for our client stakeholders to use when achieving sanctioning.

We also do scoping study workshops where we get round the table with key client personnel to thrash out the feasibility of a project, adding definition so it can be progressed to the next stage gate. This approach is very time efficient avoiding protracted email chains and ensuring all team members are on the same page hence facilitating more efficient decision making.

The exact timeframe for our services depends entirely on the nature and scale of the project we’re working on.

However, given our exceptional experience across a wide range of projects and sectors, we can provide clients with a preliminary program that highlights the key milestones for each stage gate, from initial concept to commissioning and key risk factors that could jeopardise the project being achieved within cost and timescales constraints.

More importantly, we can provide guidance on how to navigate and mitigate these risk factors to ensure the project runs smoothly.

To provide you with friendly and professional advice on how we can help you with achieving your goals, you can call us on

01622 858387, email us at mail@rb-plant.co.uk or fill in the contact form below and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.

We understand that for new prospective clients, choosing an engineering partner can be a daunting process and a leap of faith. So why not onboard a partner with over five decades of achieving demonstrable success for similar clients to yourselves where trust, integrity, technical and commercial acumen are paramount?

We often start with small/modest packages so you can test the waters with minimal risk. This, however, for the most part results in much larger packages once clients can see how much we exceed expectations and go the extra mile.

No matter what stage your project is at, and even if you’re dealing with a mature project that has veered off-course, RB Plant can take a fresh review to salvage any work already carried out where possible and identify any key gaps to get the project back on track, delivered in the most cost-effective yet technically compliant way possible.

Or, if you’re starting from a blank canvass at conceptual level, we can help you identify prospective options and carry out a cost-effective yet highly value-adding feasibility study to compare and contrast the various options with technical, safety and commercial pros and cons to progress the preferred options to the next stage.

We take a structured risk mitigation approach from day one, identifying and qualifying any design assumptions to avoid unforeseen costs later in the project lifecycle.

As an engineering consultancy, RB Plant can help answer the two main questions often asked by companies before committing large sums on a project. How much will it cost, and how long will it take.

By undertaking quick and cost-effective CapEx studies and leveraging our years of experience both designing and installing systems, RB plant can turn around a high-level CapEx costing, and outline programme that can be used to determine a projects feasibility

Our engineers work to ensure your project meets all local and national regulations, including environmental standards, building codes, and safety requirements. Our expertise in regulatory compliance helps clients navigate complex legal requirements, reducing the risk of delays or penalties.
