Project Interface Services

LB Services, LLC offers a range of project services targeted at consultants and supplier/vendors who require additional, cost effective professional support. As such, LB Services, LLC would become a temporary member of the project team supplying value added services to either support the project development activities or to add additional in-house assessment of the overall project's operation, performance, and risks.
Example 1.
A supplier does not have sufficient staff or expertise to fully appreciate the complete technical and finacial nature of a complex project and how to most effectively position their service or product.

Example 2.
A supplier does not have a regional representative available to support a particular project and requires additional temporary staff services.

Example 3.
A financial or insurance institution involved in a potenetial project requires additional technical assessment (with associated financial performance and risk) services so as to better "qualify" exposure issues and improve their performance.

Example 4.
A legal firm is preparing associated project contracts and is not comfortable with the complex technical issues involved. Their needs are to have a better understanding of the technical and financial issues so as to better protect their client's interests.

The above examples are intentionally simple and generic in order to better represent the range and scope of the interface services offered. 

We believe that our interface services can provide an extremely cost effective means of increasing a firms professional capabilities. In many cases these services can literally "pay" for themselves by increasing the potential to identify potential problems and/or incrementally improving project performance. 

****************************** 
Sample Situation 
For instance, a simple 1% improvement in a 10 MW cogen project's net heat rate 
(basis of 6,000 btu/kwh @ $2.50/mmbtu fuel and 80% load factor) 
can save over $10,000 per year, or almost $80,000 NPV on a 15 year project life 
(10% effective discount rate after tax).
This in turn improves the projects coverage ratio, reduces performance risk, and could qualify a project for better debt costs and/or reduced insurance fees. 

In contrast a similar project which has had its heat rate underestimated by 3% 
(basically a 6,000 estimate as opposed to an actual 6,180) 
could cost a project almost $240,000 in NPV, thereby decreasing coverage ratio and increasing project risks.
