Framex advises, evaluates and provides assurance. We do not directly undertake construction, facilities operations, outsourced staffing, procurement fulfilment, lending or other execution. Where specialist delivery is required, you appoint providers independently, and we can support their evaluation, selection and oversight under a separate consultancy mandate.

Do you act as a broker or agent?
No. Framex advises; it does not execute transactions on your behalf. Execution is carried out by providers you appoint independently.

Yes. Independent review of third-party proposals is a common mandate.
Do you cover international portfolios?
We support organisations across APAC, EMEA and the Americas; scope and coverage are agreed per mandate.
