We master different implementation models and help choose the right one for each project

The EPCM implementation model (Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Management) provides a clear and predictable way to carry out industrial investment projects of various sizes. In this model, the client uses an EPCM consultant who assists in all phases of the project and takes responsibility for the whole.

The role of the EPCM consultant can be summarized as helping the client in every area of the project so that decisions are based on sufficient understanding and expertise. In practice, this means that the consultant must be able to articulate what the client does not know and where the potential risks of the project lie.

To achieve this, the EPCM consultant needs expertise in engineering and its subcontracting, scheduling, procurement, as well as construction management and related supervision. At Fimpec, we solve this by utilizing the expertise of our specialists in various fields. This way, we can see things on behalf of the client and ensure that the project progresses according to the jointly developed plan.

The core of the Fimpec IPD (integrated project delivery) model is operating as part of the client’s project organization. In this model, the client, Fimpec, and other key players form a joint project team with common goals. Each participant signs a separate contract with the client, but roles and responsibilities are assigned to those best suited, regardless of company boundaries.

We have successfully utilized Fimpec IPD in numerous projects, such as the Metsä Group’s Kemi and Äänekoski bioproduct plant projects. Although the model was developed for carrying out large industrial projects, it also works well in smaller projects and in implementing sub-components.

Fimpec IPD differs from other IPD models, especially in its approach tailored to the needs of the industry, which intensifies collaboration within the project organization from the early project and pre-study phases. It also utilizes the philosophy of Lean operations to reduce waste and remove barriers to work flow using various methods.

In the Project Management Service model, we carry the responsibility of the main contractor for the construction project as a partner to the client and assemble a competent organization for its execution. We manage the design, handle procurement, compete subcontractors, and lead the construction site. We ensure that the project starts, progresses, and completes cost-effectively, on schedule, and within budget.

The PJP model is well suited to projects where the client wants to maintain final control over design solutions and procurements while benefiting from the expertise and experience of a knowledgeable partner. It is an effective choice for demanding, large-scale projects that need to be executed on a tight schedule.

For the client, Fimpec’s project management services offer a clear and flexible option. The content of the service is always agreed upon on a case-by-case basis, and the client can participate in the project to the extent they desire. We bring our advanced methods to every project, allowing for real-time and transparent monitoring of project progress and costs.

As a construction management consultant at Fimpec, we work in the project as the client’s advocate and trusted advisor, helping them achieve their objectives. Typical tasks for a construction management consultant include guiding project planning, preparing for design with engineering selections, guiding design, preparing for construction with contractor selections, guiding construction, overseeing commissioning and handover, and safety coordination, although the scope of the assignment is always agreed upon on a case-by-case basis.

Our construction management consultant services are available for projects of different sizes in various sectors when the client themselves does not have the resources, time, or expertise to manage the construction project. The strength of our experts in performing this task is the ability to discuss issues not only with the client but also with different experts within our own organization and, if necessary, bring additional resources into the project.

At Fimpec, we are also traditionally accustomed to operating according to the terms of different clients and as part of their organization, so we have the readiness to adapt our operating method according to the client and the project.

Thanks to our diverse experience and the knowledge capital we have amassed from countless completed projects, we can offer assistance in preparing for the project, making preliminary plans, phasing the project process, and scheduling. As a project consultant, we ensure that the client has access to accurate and justified information for decision-making so that economic realities and feasibility are considered.

Our goal in project consulting is to help our clients refine their project idea into a concrete project that can be moved forward.

In project management contracting, Fimpec’s skilled project management consultant leads the project in close cooperation with the client. Engineering, procurement, and construction are implemented by executing the construction project through several procurements, which are competed as the design progresses. The client always has the final decision-making authority on design solutions and procurements.

We are responsible for tasks such as cost estimates, subcontracting design, procuring different work phases’ contractors, coordinating contracting, safety issues, and site management.

Project management contracting is well suited for projects that need to get off the ground quickly and where close cooperation and solution-oriented action among different parties are required. This is a natural way for us to operate, as at Fimpec, we are traditionally accustomed to operating according to the terms of different clients and as part of their organization. Thus, we have the readiness to adapt our operating method according to the client and the project.
