Is Pathchoice owned by or affiliated with any other company?

Pathchoice is a privately owned Canadian business corporation. By staying independent of equipment vendors or commodity suppliers, we can provide you objective advice unaffected by other obligations. On large projects or programs, Pathchoice may occasionally team up with other energy companies to provide a wider range of services to clients, but such relationships are always disclosed to prospective customers.

How does Pathchoice stay current with changing regulations and market trends?

We stay current through ongoing membership in industry associations, participating in conferences, work groups, and stakeholder groups, through news scans and information services, and through the project work we perform for a diverse set of clients.

What type of confidentiality assurance does Pathchoice give its clients?

Pathchoice treats all client information as strictly confidential and commercially sensitive unless it is commonly available through public sources or unless we have express, written permission from the client to discuss it with third parties.

How does Pathchoice handle subcontracting and team work?

We maintain a small core team that is supplemented by other disciplines when and as needed. Our network of associates often works under the Pathchoice umbrella for single-point accountability. However, we can work in parallel with project specialists or other consultants hired by the client, or operate in a subcontractor role.

What type of billing arrangement does Pathchoice use?

Most of the time, we operate on a time-plus-expense basis within a predefined scope of work and billing limit negotiated with the client. Initial meetings to assess client needs are free of charge. Under some circumstances, longer-term retainer or contingency arrangements may be appropriate.
