Kimberley delivery capability for contractors who aren't from here.
Nausicaa Consulting provides contract administration, local content planning and verified supply chain intelligence to contractors delivering work across the Kimberley — plus capability and tendering support for regional businesses.
Four service lines. One structural rule.
Contract administration and capability coaching are never offered on the same project. The conflict rule is visible, managed and in writing before any engagement begins.
Contract Administration
Progress claims, variations, extensions of time and certification, administered on the ground in the Kimberley.
- Payment claim and schedule administration
- Variation assessment and valuation
- EOT and delay claim assessment
- Subcontract administration and back-charge management
- Security of payment compliance
Local Content & Participation Planning
Defensible participation plans backed by real local capability — not a directory listing.
- WAIPS participation plan preparation
- Aboriginal Procurement Policy response
- Verified local subcontractor identification
- Realistic Kimberley rate build
- Post-award participation reporting
Supply Chain Intelligence
A maintained register of Kimberley trades and suppliers — verified tickets, insurances, plant and actual capacity.
- Kimberley capability register access
- Market sounding and pricing validation
- Subcontractor pre-qualification
- Capacity and mobilisation assessment
Business Capability & Tendering
Tendering skills, business development, governance and contractual compliance for regional and Aboriginal-owned businesses.
- WA Government tender and quote responses
- Business development and sales coaching
- Internal governance frameworks
- Contract management support
Fifteen business days. No extensions.
Under the Building and Construction Industry (Security of Payment) Act 2021 (WA), a party disputing a payment claim must issue a valid payment schedule within 15 business days. Miss it, and the full claimed amount becomes a statutory debt.
Administering Kimberley subcontracts from Adelaide or Perth means every claim, every variation and every notice runs on that clock — from 2,000 kilometres away. Nausicaa Consulting administers it here.

Testimonials
"Having someone on the ground in Broome who understands the subcontract market and keeps the SoP clock in view meant we didn't have a single disputed claim go unanswered."Project Director Tier-2 contractor, Kimberley civil works
"The participation plan Callum put together held up through the tender evaluation and post-award reporting. The local rate build was the most credible piece of the bid document."Commercial Manager Infrastructure contractor, Pilbara region
"We engaged Nausicaa specifically because we needed someone who could identify real local subcontract capacity — not just a list of ABNs. The supply chain register was worth the fee alone."Procurement Lead Government principal, Kimberley capital works
