Strataverra is a project execution platform built by project people. It's designed for many industries, from construction and mining to oil and gas and defence, and many project types, from capital builds to shutdowns, turnarounds and IT delivery. Schedule, cost, quality, risk and documents sit in one connected system, configured for the type of project you deliver.

Everything the world needs next is built through projects: clean energy, water, housing, hospitals, defence, and the mines and plants that supply them. Yet most large projects still finish late and over budget, and the cost isn't only money. It's the community that waits another two years for its hospital, and the hospital that finally opens with half the beds it was promised because the money ran out on the way. It's the plant that never runs the way it was designed to. It's the funding spent twice, fixing what should have been right the first time, that never reaches the next project. How well the world delivers decides not just when it gets what it needs, but how good it is when it arrives. We exist to lift both.
We give the people who build and maintain these projects one true picture of where they stand, so they can see trouble coming and act while there's still time.
Not because people didn't care or didn't know their jobs, but because the information they needed was spread across tools that didn't talk to each other. The schedule lived in one place, costs in another, documents somewhere else, and half the project ran on spreadsheets in SharePoint folders.
By the time anyone pieced it together, the decision had been made or the money had been spent.
It gets worse as people roll on and off and every project manager runs governance their own way. What one person knew leaves with them, and the next person starts again.
We learned this the hard way, on real projects. Strataverra is what we wished we'd had: the information, and the way decisions get made, kept with the project, so the people running it can see what's coming and act while there's still time.
Our experience spans field work, project management, asset ownership and enterprise software. Each perspective has shaped what we think project teams need from Strataverra.
The right information when the job needs it.
What it taught usWe've installed and commissioned work ourselves. We know how much time a crew can lose trying to find the current drawing or confirm which QA documents apply.
So in StrataverraCrews can open the current drawings, work instructions and QA documents they need for each task, without relying on outdated copies.
See the impact before approving the change.
What it taught usOn outages with 250+ people, every change costs time or money. The damage is done when nobody sees the impact until after it's approved.
So in StrataverraVariations show their cost and schedule impact before approval, are routed by value to the right approver, and flag changes that affect the critical path.
Handovers you can trust.
What it taught usThe owner lives with a project long after the contractors pack up. We've seen what happens when a handover's records don't match the asset.
So in StrataverraAt handover, owners can trace what was accepted, the NCRs closed out and the decisions affecting the delivered asset. They can also see what remains open.
Security and permissions need to hold up in practice.
What it taught usEnterprise software has to earn the trust of IT, security teams and the people using it. We've built and supported the systems inside major Australian industry.
So in StrataverraPeople sign in once, each organisation's data stays separate, and permissions are respected everywhere, including by Verra AI.
A change on site can affect the schedule, cost, quality and risk at once. Teams need to see those effects without comparing separate reports.
Not what was planned, and not what someone hoped.
In practice: Earned value comes from physical progress and updates recorded at the end of each shift.
Good process shouldn't depend on who's running the project.
In practice: Approval chains, authority rules and risk frameworks are set once and applied on every project, with a full audit trail.
When people roll off, what they knew should stay.
In practice: Documents, decisions, RFIs and activity history stay with the project, and Verra AI can answer questions across them.
Lessons learned shouldn't end up in a close-out report nobody opens.
In practice: Lessons on risk, schedule, cost and quality become verified records Verra AI can draw on, and estimates are checked against your own past projects.
An EPCM project, a shutdown and an IT delivery don't run the same way.
In practice: Strataverra is configured by project type, not forced into one template.
Accountability belongs to people.
In practice: Verra proposes; a person approves. It only sees what each user may see, and we don't use your data to train AI models.
Strataverra's founders have spent more than 70 years combined inside the industries it serves. Between us, we've been electricians on remote sites, led power station outages, run engineering and reliability for a national network of sites, and built the enterprise systems those teams depended on.
Our experience covers operations and engineering, IT and enterprise software, and capital projects. All three of us worked at Incitec Pivot, one of Australia's major industrial companies, and saw teams working around the same gaps in their systems. That's why we're building Strataverra together.

From the tools to engineering leadership.
Steve started as an industrial electrician and progressed into engineering and reliability leadership. He brings more than 20 years of industry experience, including 15 years at Incitec Pivot and Dyno Nobel, leading engineering, reliability and operational technology teams across a national network of sites.
He’s worked on projects from several sides: delivering the work on the tools, managing execution as a project manager and serving as project sponsor on major projects. That experience gives him an understanding of what each role needs, how decisions affect delivery and what happens when a project is handed over to operations.
His approach combines practical problem solving with bringing people together. He works through complex issues, makes technical information understandable and helps different disciplines find a way forward.
Steve is building Strataverra because he’s seen capable people spend too much of their time working around the systems meant to support them. Capital projects with budgets in the millions still rely on spreadsheets, emails and shared folders, leaving teams to piece together the information they need to make decisions.
He wants to give teams a clearer picture, help them identify problems earlier and support better decisions from planning through to operational handover. At Strataverra, he helps shape the product and technical direction, connecting industry requirements with how the software is designed and built. His focus is on the people who have to deliver the work and live with the results.

Enterprise software, built inside heavy industry.
Jacqui started as an analyst and programmer in 1996 and progressed into software development leadership. She brings 30 years of enterprise software experience, including more than 17 years with Incitec Pivot, and has led delivery teams building custom software for government, health, manufacturing and shipping clients. A Ngunnawal woman, she received the Queensland Resources Council’s Exceptional Indigenous Person award in 2018.
She’s been the business analyst, the developer and the delivery lead, and she was the architect of two award-winning platforms: MB2, a shipping agency system that won the 2022 OutSystems Global Innovation Award, and the Field, an accessible job platform built with people with disability, which won a 2023 CRN Impact Award.
She pairs engineering discipline with close attention to the people on the other end of the screen. With a software engineering degree from QUT, an MBA and current work in AI-augmented development, she builds platforms that IT teams can secure and support, and that people can use without workarounds.
Jacqui has seen from inside IT what happens when enterprise systems don’t fit the work. Teams keep their own spreadsheets, information gets re-keyed from one system to the next, and the business loses a reliable picture of where things stand.
At Strataverra she shapes how the product is engineered, so it fits the way teams actually work and still meets the standard an enterprise IT team expects. Her Ngunnawal heritage is reflected throughout Strataverra in artwork by Ngunnawal artist Melle Haimona.
Cofounder
Capital projects, from both sides of the contract.
Ben started as a licensed electrician and progressed into project management and project director roles. He brings more than 20 years of experience across power generation, utilities and industrial infrastructure, including capital programs of up to $30M.
His experience spans both client and contractor, from doing the physical work to managing contracts and carrying the commercial outcome. That gives him an understanding of what each side needs, where their numbers diverge and how that gap costs a project time and money. He has led power station projects with more than 250 people on site and controlled $15M in spending over three months.
His approach combines project controls discipline and commercial judgement with straight communication. Backed by an MBA and a Master of Business Law, he treats cost, schedule and change as one system and gives teams a forecast they can act on, in terms both the site and the boardroom understand.
Ben is building Strataverra because he's seen projects with fixed windows and moving scope run on information that arrives too late to use. Client and contractor each build their own version of the truth, then spend the project reconciling them instead of delivering. He has been the person explaining a number he didn't trust.
He wants both sides working from one current picture, so the next decision is made on today's numbers. At Strataverra, he shapes how the platform handles delivery and project controls, connecting his site and commercial experience with how the product is designed. His focus is on the people accountable for the outcome.
Our vision: every complex project, whatever the industry and whatever the type, run on information people can trust.
We're launching first with EPCM projects and with shutdowns and turnarounds. Mining, oil and gas, aerospace and defence, and IT delivery are on the roadmap, all on one platform configured by project type.
