How we develop
projects.

Projects reach us in two ways: brought to us by an external organisation, or originated by SamadRock. The route determines who does what, and when.

Two Pathways

Where a project
comes from matters.

A project brought to us by a client and a project we originate ourselves are not the same thing. They carry different responsibilities, follow different sequences, and reach the point of commitment differently. We keep the two separate so that everyone knows which one they are in.

Client Projects
You bring us a project. You prepare and submit the proposal; we assess it, and if it is a fit we agree terms and deliver. The preparation responsibility sits with you.
SamadRock Projects
We identify and develop the project ourselves. We carry the concept, planning and commercial structure, and engage partners where a project calls for capability or capital we do not hold.
Pathway One

Client projects.

Where a project originates with an external organisation, the responsibility for preparing and submitting the initial proposal rests with that organisation. We do not develop initial proposals on behalf of third parties before an engagement is in place.

What you provide

  • A clear description of the project and its objectives
  • The parties involved and their roles
  • The current stage of development
  • The role proposed for SamadRock
  • Technical, commercial, ownership and regulatory documentation

What we do

  • Review the submission against our areas of work
  • Assess it technically and commercially
  • Ask for clarification where we need it
  • Give you a clear answer either way
  • Agree scope and terms in writing before work starts

A proposal may be accepted or declined. Neither the submission of a proposal nor the discussions surrounding it commits SamadRock to a project. Full detail: Working With SamadRock.

Pathway Two

SamadRock projects.

Where we originate a project ourselves, we carry it from concept through planning and commercial structuring. Partners are engaged where a project needs capability, capacity or funding beyond our own, and on terms agreed in writing between the parties.

Where we engage partners on our own projects, we do so in a commercial capacity — as joint venture, development, operating or project partners. SamadRock does not offer investments or financial products, does not raise capital from the public, and nothing on this page is an offer or invitation to engage in investment activity.

How We Describe Projects

Planned, in progress,
and delivered are
different words.

We use them precisely, and we would encourage anyone reading our material to hold us to that.

01

Prospective

An opportunity we are looking at. No agreement exists, no approvals have been granted, and it may never proceed. Describing something as prospective is not a statement that it will happen.

02

Under Study

Work is being done to establish whether the project is viable — feasibility, planning or technical assessment. A study is not a commitment, and its outcome may be that the project stops.

03

Contracted

Agreements are in place, scope is defined and work is underway or complete. This is the only category in which we would describe ourselves as engaged on a project.

We do not publish client names, site details or commercial terms. Our engagements are subject to confidentiality agreements, and we treat that as binding regardless of how useful the detail might be as marketing material.

Built Into How We Develop Projects

The greatest legacy of any project is not the infrastructure it creates, but the people it empowers.

A project is never finished when it returns value to its commercial partners alone. Where a project agreement adopts the Community Enrichment Fund, building local capability is planned in from the earliest stage, not added on afterwards.
