Welcome to E3's first episode of The Top 3 by E3! In this episode hosted by Ginger Elbaum, E3's Managing Director, Paul Plath, takes listeners inside the world of Independent Engineering.  Paul is E3's President and one of the original founders of E3 Consulting over 22 years ago. 

With more than 30 years of experience and hundreds of project-financed projects under his belt, Paul has seen a lot. He discusses the myriad reasons that lenders, sponsors, and other stakeholders hire Independent Engineers (IE) and the ways that IEs are able to benefit a project.  As part of the "Top Three" series, Paul provides his top three takeaways on the profession, including:

1. Timing to hiring an IE is important. Talk to us, at the beginning of your project, to learn when you should bring us in. If it's too early, it is inefficient, but if it is too late, it can be very expensive to make changes in the project.  As they say, Time is Money. 
2. IEs cost money, but we can help you save money by uncovering risks and offering solutions to mitigate those.
3. Look to us as a partner. We want our clients and their stakeholders to be successful. We can help you navigate the project financing process.
