DCMS: Driving project recovery
TacminMadini’s Digital Construction Management System (DCMS) is central to our project recovery approach, offering a unified, cloud-based platform that enables complete control over distressed mining and infrastructure projects. First applied from 1985 by our core team across numerous infrastructure projects and later extended to mining projects from 1996 to the present, DCMS provides real-time tracking and oversight across all project phases—from estimation to close-out. This centralized platform enables immediate adjustments to schedules, budgets, and resources, ensuring alignment with recovery objectives and delivering financial stability for investors. Accessible to all stakeholders, DCMS supports collaboration between off-site and on-site teams, enabling data-driven decisions that minimize delays and maximize recovery efficiency. The system integrates essential functions, including cost estimation, planning, scheduling, cash flow management, and risk assessment, providing transparency and control that help distressed projects achieve both operational and financial targets.
