TBH appoints Brittany Lam to Asia advisory role in Singapore

For infrastructure investors, connecting technical due diligence with construction advice gives project risks a place in the financing decision.

TBH has appointed Brittany Lam as a director in its Asia team, based in Singapore. Her remit spans transaction advisory, technical due diligence and major capital investment decisions for investors, lenders and developers.

The appointment deepens an existing service. TBH already combines technical and commercial analysis in strategic advisory with planning, cost, risk and project delivery work. Lam brings experience in lenders’ technical advisory and technical due diligence to that offer.

That combination has a clear commercial purpose. An investment assessment becomes more useful when its construction assumptions can inform the price, financing terms and delivery plan. For TBH, it also creates an opportunity to retain clients as a transaction moves into execution.

Lam has more than 16 years of experience across investment, consulting and technical advisory. Her sector experience includes data centres, renewable energy, water, critical minerals and major industrial developments, alongside work for public and private sector organisations.

Her background gives the practice a basis for pursuing mandates across several asset classes. The strongest fit is work in which technical findings can change an investment decision: a client gains little from a detailed assessment if its conclusions arrive too late to influence the deal.

Transaction advice connects with delivery

Stuart Cassie, TBH’s partner and global advisory lead, described client demand for independent advice combining the commercial and technical realities of infrastructure investments. He said Lam would strengthen support from early due diligence through construction and operations.

For lenders, the value lies in translating technical weaknesses into financing exposure. Developers gain an opportunity to address those weaknesses before they obstruct a transaction. Both uses favour advice that ranks problems by their consequences for capital and delivery, with a clear route to resolving them.

Data centres provide an established base for that work. Since 2010, TBH has worked on more than 100 hyperscale data centre projects across the Asia-Pacific region. Lam’s wider sector experience gives the advisory practice scope to pursue work beyond digital infrastructure.

The immediate strategic value is deeper advice around the investment decision. Turning that into a larger business requires enough delivery capacity to support the mandates won. The next meaningful developments are the assignments Lam secures and the team assembled to execute them.
