The owner's view of a major capital project, in one place.
Contarva is being designed to bring EPC-reported and owner-held cost, schedule and procurement together, and to flag where they disagree.
Seeking owner-side design partners on major capital projects, starting in energy.
Two views, left as they are.
The EPC contractor's reporting and your own cost, commitment and schedule systems come in through agreed imports.
A layer for every part of the project.
Cost, schedule, procurement and more, each with one governed definition and a tag for who reported it and at what level of detail.
Agents watch the seams.
Designed to flag what moves and where EPC and owner views disagree, such as owner-furnished items, pending changes and cut-off timing, with the evidence behind each flag.
One owner's snapshot.
EPC plus owner cost and schedule exposure in a single view, with confidence shown. People decide.

0:00–0:05 The text “Your project’s cost lives in two places. Your decisions need one view.” appears while source documents drift across the screen: EPC progress report, EPC invoices and changes, owner cost ledger, owner commitments, P6 schedules and Excel workbooks.
0:05–0:12 · Connect. “Two views of one project. Keep both as they are.” Two EPC contractor sources and two owner systems feed separate landing areas, each tagged by who reported it and at what level of detail (EPC summary level, EPC invoice level, owner ERP extract, owner PO register).
0:12–0:20 · Structure. “Semantic layers join EPC and owner data.” Actuals, estimates, schedule and procurement layers appear, with room for more. Each layer shows how much of its content came from the EPC contractor and how much from the owner, linked by WBS, activity ID and contract.
0:20–0:30 · Listen. “Agents watch each layer and the seams between them.” An agent on each layer raises a flag for review: EPC piping hours running 14% over earned value, pending EPC changes missing from the owner forecast, late compressor drawings threatening ready-for-start-up by 11 days, and owner-furnished spools slipped six weeks. Each flag is sent to the project snapshot.
0:30–0:38 · Snapshot. “One owner’s snapshot of the whole project.” Estimate at completion of $2.740B, split into EPC $1.94B (summary level) and owner $0.80B (detailed); ready-for-start-up forecast of 18 May 2027; change exposure of $86M; moderate forecast confidence; and three items requiring management attention.
0:39–0:45 The Contarva logo, “Project controls. Rebuilt.”, “The owner’s view of the whole project.”, and “Powered by FinVorx semantic layers.”
Concept visualization of the intended product, using dummy anonymized data for a fictional project. Continuous listening, refresh frequency, direct connectors and any write-back are subject to validation and agreed pilot scope; the proposed starting point is controlled file imports, with SAP, Oracle and Primavera P6 remaining the systems of record. What EPC detail is available depends on the contract type and reporting rights; the product is designed to make those limits visible, not to remove them. Agents surface findings for human review—they do not approve or change forecasts.
Help us build the owner's view.
We're looking for owner organizations on major capital projects willing to map a real monthly controls process and test a focused prototype on an agreed set of historical or current project data. Sanitized samples are welcome; a complete dataset is not required to start. What EPC detail we can use depends on your contract and reporting rights, so we scope that together at the start.
Map the process
Founder-led mapping of how EPC reporting and owner costs are combined today: monthly close, handoffs, approvals and recurring bottlenecks.
Configure a prototype
A focused prototype built around your agreed codes, data, EPC reporting and workflows.
Give Contarva Month 6
Can the prototype surface an exposure your reporting only recognized in Months 7–9? We test that against historical records and check false positives too. Earlier detection is a hypothesis to validate, not a promised outcome.
Owners carry the total cost of a major project but rarely see it in one place: the EPC contractor holds one view, the owner's systems hold another, and spreadsheets stitch them together. Replacing that stitching means understanding the controls process in detail.
Contarva is founder-led, by someone with more than 25 years in international capital project finance, including LNG. It starts from the owner's problem: cost-code mapping, accrual cut-offs, commitment exposure and forecast assumptions.
Senior project controls specialists, with more than 50 years of major capital project experience between them, advise on different areas of the product.
Less time rebuilding the workbook.
More time testing the forecast.
If you own a major capital project and combine EPC reporting with your own cost data, we'd like to hear how you do it today. Start with your workflow and the problem you want to solve.
Please don't email project files or EPC contractor data. We'll agree permitted use and a handling plan before any data is shared.
