Identify the specialist expertise you will need for the project as early as possible.

This could include designers of specialised equipment or processes that are not normally done by your company or that your company has very few of.

E.g. Traffic signal designers, commissioning engineer for complicated equipment.

Recognize when you or your team don’t have the expertise to accomplish something and get help.

This could be either within the company or from outside experts.

Check with internal experienced people first for contacts.

When buying specialized equipment, make sure the supplier is available for installation advice and commissioning assistance (It is often preferable to get them to commission)
