Project Management
Project management is at the epicentre of our operations, providing our clients with a solid basis for a successful outcome in any type of construction project. Utilizing state of the art software tools such as Procore, PlanGrid, Revit, and other custom CPMS solutions that are tailored to meet the specific needs and requirements of each project, we achieve optimal results in the feasibility evaluation, design development, construction planning, and execution, accompanied with extensive and transparent financial reports. Our clients take us on board to minimize the risk and deliver projects within the allotted time and budget, by virtue of our uncompromising approach to produce the highest level of quality deliverables.
Engineering
Our engineers provide the clients with all the structural, civil, mechanical, and electrical engineering services that underpin the scope of each project. Following the designated construction codes and standards, we prepare complete layouts, drawings, and schematics which constitute the first step of materializing a construction project. We cover the full engineering spectrum of construction, from the design of the foundation to the dynamic loads using 3D modeling software tools. As our expertise revel in creating the synergy between design and engineering, we have always surpassed the client’s expectations through technical judgment, whilst balancing aesthetics and creativity with buildability and practical integrity.
Cost Management
From inception to post-delivery, our commercial management services aim to secure the value of the client’s investment. During the implementation of each project, we monitor and keep records of all the financial transactions, while we ensure that the cost of the project is kept within the agreed cost limits. The cost control occurs at all stages of the construction process to assist in decision-making, stimulation of cost reduction and the facilitation of value improvement. Project cost management is a complex task involving estimates at the initial stages of a project, along with planning and control processes throughout the project implementation.
Quality Management
Our quality management services is an indispensable part of our success, as it reflects our persistence to the details in engineering, and our complete conformance with all of the international engineering standards that underpin our work in a project. Our Quality Management services begin with the definition of the objectives and requirements and the setting up of a tailored quality management plan. We then proceed to the definition of the quality standards that we will follow and respect and then organize the QA/QC program for the subcontractors, the testing requirements and procedures for our material suppliers and the proper storage and protection for material transportation agencies.
Construction Management
As project management professionals, we are here to oversee, manage, monitor and control projects regarding time, cost and quality. We plan, coordinate, budget, and supervise all types of construction projects, with a notable level of complexity. From initial design development stages to final completion, we provide construction management expertise in combination with excellent contract administration. Our key specialization is to ensure that the multidisciplinary design is properly coordinated and controlled to match our client’s vision, timeline and budget, from execution stages until project delivery, with the help of KEN’s highly skilled and experienced Engineers and Architects.
Contract Management
We believe that establishing clear terms and management procedures in the preliminary phases of any construction project is crucial to reduce conflicts, accelerate project delivery as well as to establish a transparent environment to the involved parties, in order to avoid any delays or ambiguities. Our administrators’ capacity to project clarity and formulate a methodical strategy based on contract terms serves as a pivotal point between the contractor and the client, in order to establish a common ground where obligations are catered and met. KEN International has recently achieved a certification in “Contract Management and Administration” which is based on the FIDIC (International Federation of Consulting Engineers).
Client Representation
Client representation is based on the transparency of our processes that leaves no doubts or grey areas, leading to a trusting relationship with the client. From the moment that we undertake a project, we carefully study the requirements and anticipate the various complexities as well as the possible risk elements. We are supported by our internal teams of project managers, architects, civil and structural engineers, QA/QC engineers, and lawyers who are jointly formulating our presence and streamlining our methodologies, taking into account our utmost dedication and standard duty of care.
Quantity Surveying
At KEN International, we utilize cutting-edge tools and techniques that enable us to predict the project cost with unprecedented accuracy, develop a precise cost planning and deliver realistic cost analysis and value management reports. Our quantity surveying process is based on the guidelines of the POMI (Principles of Measurement International) and the utilization of Candy and Revit software tools, which feature specialized risk prediction and cost evaluation modules, along with our value engineering services.
Claims Management
KEN International uses claim management for the client to resolve unforeseen situations. This usually takes place in case of any deviation that may occur during the project process, where claim management is put into practice in order to protect the client’s investments. When a claim opportunity is evident, our experts identify it and relate it to specific contract terms, then we prepare relevant cost estimations and schedule an affection analysis so that the client can make a more targeted decision. The resolution of the claim is achieved through a relevant justification but with thoughtful sensitivity against conflict and proactively disposed towards dispute avoidance strategies.
Bim/Building Information Modeling
KEN International advocates the use of BIM software for the development of its projects, a tool that simultaneously integrates design and engineering, where operational information is accurate, accessible, and amendable. Through this tool, project managers can look at the full life cycle of the project, giving them a clear overview of the construction process, cost and efficiency. With BIM, our architects can design buildings faster, with an improved workflow which speed up the project. The team infuses the 3D model with a high level of data, providing the team with measurable information, along with a tangible and clear representation of the design to be executed.
Environmental Quality
We have established, implemented, and documented environmental strategies at tactical and operational levels, with OH&S (Occupational Health & Safety) objectives as one of our core functions, not only internally, but also for every construction site we undertake. The objectives are measurable, where practicable, and are consistent with our HSE policies, with a commitment to the prevention of any unfavorable environmental impact, as well as to the prevention of injury and ill health to our valuable team and workforce. The compliance and implementation of local and international standards is a key attribute to KEN’s vision, a virtue that governs each of our fundamental practices.
Design Management
KEN entails design management services based on a proper planning cycle. From initial programming to construction drawings, we manage every aspect to meet the specific project goals and requirements. KEN possesses the organizational capability to direct the design process, facilitate decision-making, and to support collaboration, in order to ensure a well-examined and successful design that aligns with the project targets. In parallel to that, we oversee, control, and manage the design consultant’s efforts and outputs, ensuring its conformity to the overall program deliverables, and its proper coordination among the relevant disciplines and departments.
