Construction cost management is an important aspect of any construction project.

Project budgeting is one of the stages of pre-investment analysis. At this stage, the project costs are estimated and funding sources are planned.

• Optimization of design solutions
• Development of estimates
• Collection and harmonization of data of various levels of detail (type of work, local estimate, cost item, title, object, project, program, portfolio)
• Preparation of plans for the implementation of the CIW (construction and installation works)
• and commissioning of the facility
• Preparation of a financing plan

Investment stage
At the investment stage, MSM Engineering helps to monitor the execution of the budget and construction deadlines, as well as analyze deviations from the plan and predict future results.

• Control of compliance of actual and contractual prices/volumes of work performed
• Control of the optimality of the applied prices
• Forecasting the cost of completion of construction
• Price appreciation control

The technical customer is a key participant in the construction process.
One of its main tasks is to control the quality, timing and cost of the project. Some of the functions of the technical customer can be transferred to independent performers. MSM Engineering has the competence, team and experience of performing the functions of a technical customer throughout the project lifecycle (from concept development to commissioning).

• Development and approval of the design assignment
• Verification of design solutions, admission to production
• Preparation of tender procedures
• Independent construction control
• Acceptance of actually completed volumes of work
• Planning a schedule for the implementation of the CIW (construction and installation works)
• Acceptance of the completed construction of the facility and commissioning of the facility

Construction control - this is a functional construction control. It is carried out to ensure the quality of construction and compliance of the project with the requirements of legislation and technical standards.
Financial and construction control is an important tool for preventing possible abuses and ensuring the quality of construction. MSM Engineering helps to control construction costs and ensure that the project complies with legal requirements and standards.

• The work is monitored for compliance with the working documentation, the results of engineering surveys, the requirements of technical standards and regulations
• Examination of project documentation
• Continuous quality control and technology of work performed
• Planning of work schedules
• Acceptance of actually completed volumes of work in terms of quality, volume and cost
• Monitoring the implementation of the project budget

Examination of construction projects – assessment of the quality of construction, compliance of the project with the requirements of legislation and technical standards, as well as the proposal of recommendations for improving the project.

• Determination of physical deterioration wear of load-bearing and enclosing structures, engineering systems and buildings during operation
• Verification of compliance of completed objects with design and regulatory documentation (SNiP, GOST, etc.)
• Quality control and testing of structures and materials
• Conducting a survey for structural changes of building elements
• Analysis of the completed volumes of work, verification with the developed design solutions and issued estimates.

Assistance in obtaining a loan and financing projects, as well as monitoring the use of funds in accordance with the terms of the loan. MSM Engineering acts as a technical consultant for extended banking support.

• Confirmation of the intended use of funds
• Control of the targeted expenditure of funds by construction participants with a preliminary examination of supporting documents, as well as subsequent reporting to the customer
• Construction control in accordance with 468 PP of the Russian Federation

Financial and technical supervision is a system of measures aimed at ensuring the quality of construction and monitoring the use of funds. MSM Engineering provides FTN services, including monitoring of construction work, verification of documentation and assessment of compliance of the project with legal requirements.

• Involves periodic visits to the construction site
• Assessment of the accumulated cost of construction, including in comparison with the average market indicators
• Evaluation of the effectiveness and targeted nature of the use of funds
• Verification of compliance of actually performed works with the terms of the contract and approved estimates; Monitoring compliance with the construction schedule
• Selective quality control of the work performed, as well as verification of compliance of the specified works and materials with technical specifications, project, relevant standards and regulations
• Verification of initial permits

We can analyze your current operating model and offer recommendations for its improvement.

• Analysis of the actual timing of reaching the design capacity
• Assessment of achievement of significant and sustainable economic results
• Monitoring the implementation of the planned financial model
• Analysis of the effectiveness of the enterprise management structure
• Analysis of the possibility of further development of the investment project

The availability of estimated documentation allows you to fix the cost of work with contractors, put the facility into operation in a timely manner, get more attractive conditions when attracting financing, repay credit obligations according to the planned schedule

• Development, verification and correction of estimate documentation
• Cost cutting
• Making calculations in commercial rates

Design decisions affect the cost and timing of the project, optimization of design solutions will make sure that the project is correct, as well as choose the most comparable analogues in materials, allowing you to find savings in the total budget of capital expenditures.

• Verification of the developed design solutions for the correctness of the materials used, the design scheme, construction deadlines
• Correction of detected violations of construction technology
• Selection of analogues for the materials used that do not reduce the operational characteristics of the object and the class of the object
• Optimization of technological processes at the construction site, linking with the calendar schedule of work, taking into account seasonality

Laboratory studies make it possible to determine the quality of the materials used, as well as to identify violations of technological processes during the construction of facilities. Surveys are possible, as with the current control of construction and installation works, and with a comprehensive examination of unfinished / reconstructed objects

• Full-fledged laboratory study of the composition of soils, their physical, chemical and mechanical characteristics
• Laboratory examination of concrete
• Laboratory examination of welded joints

Independent expert assessment of the economic, technical and technological characteristics of an investment project at different stages of its life cycle.

• Optimization of design and pricing solutions
• Efficient use of the project budget
• Reducing the cost and shortening the project implementation time

MSM Engineering is a technical consultant in projects using public-private partnerships. We provide services for the development and maintenance of PPP projects, as well as help in the preparation of necessary documentation. When developing a concept and forming a project model, it is critically important to correctly assess the volume of capital investments, take into account the issues of construction technology and operation of the facility.

• Development of the project concept, including financial and organizational-legal model
• Development of tender documentation (preparation of technical proposal)
• Technical consultant of the parties
