KPMG’s Infrastructure, Capital Projects, and Sustainability (ICPS) practice is focused on being the trusted advisors of choice on major infrastructure programs within federal, provincial and municipal governments, and transport, education, power and utilities, digital, healthcare, energy and mining, sustainability, and Indigenous advisory. We are a team of 70 professionals within Toronto and a national team of over 250 including economists, engineers, project management professionals, finance professionals, accountants, and consultants.

We advise public and private sector clients on all aspects of the infrastructure lifecycle from project feasibility, through procurement and commercial negotiations, into construction delivery, asset management, and ultimately divestment and reinvestment. This means our team members think strategically and have the technical skills required to engage meaningfully with our clients throughout all stages of the project lifecycle.

Within the ICPS practice, our Major Projects Advisory team supports public and private sector clients in delivering major projects and programs, with a focus on several key areas including commercial strategy, project governance reviews, project management and controls, project and contractor performance assessments, claims and disputes, and technical due diligence.
