Leadership in Project Management

In Fimpec’s Owner’s Engineering or OE service, the focus is primarily on safeguarding the client’s interests during various phases of the project. Typically, clients use this service in EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) projects to oversee the contractor’s design and execution. However, our OE services can also be utilized in more limited tasks.

Our OE clients have access to the entire breadth of Fimpec’s expertise and experience across different sectors. A clear strength for our experts is their ability to discuss issues not only with the client but also with different experts within our own organization. At Fimpec, we are also accustomed to working according to different clients’ operational models and as part of their organization, so we are prepared to adapt our approach according to the client and project.

As experienced cost experts, we oversee the client’s interests throughout the construction project and ensure that costs are kept under control. We offer comprehensive services for project cost management, including budget calculations and cost estimates, quantity surveying services, cost tracking and control, as well as final and post-calculation of contracts.

In our service, we combine our broad and diverse knowledge and experience with the opportunities offered by modern information technology. Based on this, we have developed an automatic quantity surveying service that allows quantities and costs to be monitored in real-time during the construction project. With accurate management of quantity information and real-time data, we can prevent unnecessary costs and thereby achieve significant cost savings.

We have special experience in the time management of demanding and large projects. We systematically manage the temporal progression of the construction project from project planning through production to commissioning. Our temporal management integrates design management, procurement, and production into a seamless whole.

In our work, we utilize methods such as lean techniques (Last Planner, Takt planning), 4D visualization, and information modeling-based schedule planning. With digital tools and proactive management, we control temporal risks before they materialize. Together with cost expertise and information modeling expertise, time management forms a seamless support for the construction project.

The core of our procurement management services is to manage the procurement for investment projects as a representative of the client in industrial and plant procurements. Our efficient procurement process brings cost savings and ensures the quality implementation of purchases and the progress of the project on schedule.

At the beginning of the procurement phase, we agree with the client on the principles and practices of procurements, and the client can participate in procurements in the role and scope they desire. Our procurement service can be used separately, as part of a larger whole, or included in an EPCM delivery. Civil and construction procurement is part of construction management.

Correctly and well-executed engineering saves costs in the implementation phase of a construction project, helps to stay on schedule, and facilitates document management. We have extensive experience in managing different design phases and various design disciplines. We know how to guide and support engineering effectively. We can also ensure the appropriateness of plans and refine the design so that the result is documents based on which procurements can be made cost-effectively. During the construction phase, we ensure that the documents are kept up-to-date.

It is advisable to involve us in the project from the very early stages, so we can help define the information models used in the engineering so that they are compatible with other materials. Then the management of documents is straightforward, and the final documentation is straightforward to produce.

We are skilled property developers in the built environment. Our operations combine experience and knowledge of the property sector and its markets with project management expertise. We primarily carry out property development projects where the use of the building is changed or efficiency is improved. We help our clients see all the possibilities and full potential of the property and find the right and economical solutions to meet the future usage needs of the property and increase its value.

We have expertise in developing various types of properties from commercial spaces to production facilities and also public sector spaces. In this work, we are not tied to any particular model but proceed according to the client’s needs. When we are involved early enough, we can provide information on the costs and profitability of the required investment or help find a new owner for the property whose strategy the property fits.

Construction management is a core competence for us, and our experienced expert organization is available to our clients, with comprehensive expertise in both large industrial projects and property and infrastructure projects. We help find the right solutions for carrying out the project, such as the implementation model. The right solutions ensure the project is completed on schedule and within budget.

Construction management is always overseen by a designated expert, who also acts as the construction or project manager if necessary. Our comprehensive construction management services include, among other things, managing the construction project and directing the design, competing designers and contractors as well as procurements, cost management, scheduling, building technology construction management, and HSE services. We also carry out the necessary supervision during the implementation phase, where we take care of construction technical supervision as well as building technology supervision.

Our building technology construction management services cover all tasks related to building technology construction management, such as cost calculation, competing design, and project management and supervision services during the construction phase.

Our experts have versatile expertise in building technology design and contracting tasks. Decades of experience also mean we are very familiar with the regulatory side. Thanks to our expertise, we can manage even the most challenging building technology projects in commercial and office building construction, public construction, and industrial investment targets. Special expertise includes energy efficiency.

Site management is part of our construction management services. In a client-driven implementation model, where the client is the main executor, or in a PJP model, where we act as the main executor, we provide the necessary experts to manage the site’s progress from start to completion. This could be, for example, a project or construction manager or equivalent site manager, site supervisor, or other site organization personnel.

In addition, we can offer comprehensive services to support construction, such as procurement management, cost management, scheduling, building technology construction management, and HSE services. If necessary, we can assemble a supervision team required by the project’s scope to support the client and the implementation phase, which can take care of construction technical supervision as well as building technology and electrical works supervision.

Properly and effectively managing a project’s occupational safety, environmental issues, and related obligations requires expertise and an active approach in planning, managing, and supervising. Fimpec has the necessary skills, so we can offer our clients comprehensive and goal-oriented safety management to maintain and develop the safety of work, working conditions, and the work environment throughout all phases of the project.

HSE services can be purchased from Fimpec either as part of a larger service package or separately. The division of labor is always agreed case-by-case with the client. In all cases, the best results are achieved if our experts are involved in the project from the preliminary and design phases, bringing forward safety and environmental perspectives.

We perform technical construction supervision of construction projects. The service can be purchased from us separately, together with building technology supervision, or it may be part of a broader construction management service.

As a construction work supervisor, we represent the client and ensure that the project is carried out according to the contract and plans, in compliance with laws, regulations, and regulatory guidelines, and following good construction practice. Our supervision extends from the start of the site to the commissioning and the end of the warranty period.
