Mining & Infrastructure - Advisory, Delivery, Recovery
In today’s contract delivery environment, the demands on contractors are higher than ever. Projects are awarded in increasingly competitive conditions, with compressed margins and tighter timeframes. Yet what happens after the contract is awarded determines everything.
Mobilising the workforce, securing the equipment, ordering the materials—none of it is optional, and all of it needs to happen with precision. But even with sound planning and experienced teams, site conditions, supply disruptions, and shifting costs can quickly put pressure on performance. The question isn’t about capability—it’s about control. And in this environment, control starts with intelligence.
From Award to Execution: A New Way to Stay Ahead
For most contractors, the real work starts after contract award. The assumptions that won the bid are soon tested by real-world constraints—labour availability, plant allocation, weather, delivery sequencing, and design evolution. This is where the risk creeps in, and where Tacmin.ai comes into its own.
Rather than retrofitting control measures once things go off course, Tacmin.ai embeds a structured layer of oversight from day one. It doesn’t disrupt your process or dictate how you work—it supports what you already do by connecting your plans, resources, and execution in real time. Through this, contractors gain more than just data—they gain foresight.
Turning Planning into Performance
At the heart of every successful contract is the ability to turn a priced scope into a practical plan—and keep it aligned as work progresses. Tacmin.ai begins by establishing a first-principles cost baseline, stripping out assumptions and building from unit-rate logic. From there, it constructs resource-driven schedules that reflect how the job will actually be built—sequenced by team, task, and production reality.
As execution unfolds, progress is tracked against this framework using live updates from site. Claims and valuations are tied to verified output. Forecasts are continuously updated. The result is a dynamic cost and schedule model that allows commercial teams to look ahead, adjust early, and maintain budget confidence—without relying on end-of-month corrections.
Managing Equipment as a Strategic Asset
But cost control alone isn’t enough. Every project depends on the consistent performance of its fleet—whether owned, hired, or a combination of both. Tacmin.ai integrates directly with OEM telemetry systems, drawing live data on machine health, utilisation, and operating conditions without interfering with warranties or modifying hardware.
This data is interpreted offsite, where condition trends and usage patterns are analysed to inform proactive maintenance, redeployment, or capital planning. Unplanned downtime is minimised. Idle time is reduced. Equipment is no longer just tracked—it’s managed as a strategic resource aligned with project delivery.
No matter how strong the plan or how well the equipment performs, a project only moves as fast as its materials allow. Tacmin.ai brings clarity to supply and inventory operations by digitising stock control at the source. Materials are codified and structured for system integration, enabling real-time tracking using IoT technologies like RFID and GPS.
This isn’t just about reducing stockouts—it’s about anticipating demand, synchronising supply with production, and maintaining working capital discipline without risking readiness. Usage trends, site conditions, and supplier performance are analysed continuously to optimise reorder points and avoid overordering or last-minute procurement stress.
Tacmin.ai is part of a broader integrated delivery framework that combines technical insight with practical execution support. As an Integrated Project Delivery Partner, TacminMadini works alongside contractors to align commercial clarity with operational outcomes across all phases of project delivery.
Our collaborative approach helps strengthen internal capacity, reduce delivery risk, and improve coordination—without disrupting existing systems or introducing external pressure. The result is greater resilience, tighter control, and better performance across complex, multi-party contracts.
Practical, Scalable Support—On Your Terms
Contractors today face increasing pressure to deliver not just results, but assurance—transparency for clients, compliance for regulators, and measurable performance for financiers. Tacmin.ai is designed to support that expectation quietly and effectively—without interfering in how you operate.
Engagement is structured around the contractor’s priorities. You can select from specific service categories—Cost & Project Control, Equipment Analytics, or Supply Chain Visibility—and scale up as required, based on the level of insight or oversight needed. Each service is standalone but can be combined to form an integrated control framework across your entire contract.
The service has been proven across tenders, claims, dispute support, and live project delivery—always with discretion and without disruption.
Let’s Explore It — On Your Terms
We offer an initial conversation to help you assess service fit and value. This is not a sales process—it’s a delivery discussion, led by professionals who understand what it takes to keep a project moving.
Tacmin.ai was built for contractors, by contractors. We don’t claim to solve everything—but we do know how to protect your margin, strengthen your delivery, and support your people.
Disclaimer: TacminMadini protects client confidentiality. While Tacmin.ai supports multiple contractors, cost data, resource inputs, and operational models remain strictly confidential. Since 1996, TacminMadini has supported clients and contractors across tenders, transformations, disputes, and oversight — always with a fair, practical, and independent approach.
