INVECON ENGINEERING is an engineering company in Kazakhstan holding a project management licence, headquartered in Astana, with a portfolio of 550+ completed projects across nine cities and regions.
Site record documentation. An asset can be physically complete yet slip by months because records were non-compliant, and some evidence — covered-works certification, for instance — cannot be reconstructed retrospectively. The second most common factor is permitting that advanced without a schedule.
A continental climate with winter temperatures to −35 °C sets short windows for earthworks, concrete, roofing and façade work. Winter working is technically possible but costlier and riskier. Planning is done in seasonal windows: missing one costs the following season.
Yes. A general contractor works to a contract price and is motivated to reduce its own cost inside it. The technical customer acts for the investor: verifying quantities before certificates are signed, maintaining an independent cost and schedule forecast, and controlling quality. Different roles with different economics.
