Mining & construction management
Mining & construction mgmt
Many mining and construction projects falter not because of effort or intention, but because planning assumptions, constructability, contractor alignment, and cost controls were never fully synchronised from the start. Tacmin Construction closes these gaps with an integrated model built on advanced preconstruction planning, disciplined project management, lean methodologies, and flexible delivery strategies. Whether developing new mines, expanding existing operations, or delivering large-scale infrastructure, we provide the structure, visibility, and practical expertise needed to deliver safely, on time, and within budget — even in remote or demanding environments.
OUR FOCUS AREAS
Setting the foundation for predictable, cost-aligned execution
Is your project truly ready to build — or are risks, gaps, and assumptions still hiding beneath the surface? |
| Many projects begin mobilisation with incomplete planning, misaligned stakeholders, or unclear constructability, resulting in cost drift, rework, and avoidable delays. |
| Tacmin Construction brings clients, engineers, and subcontractors together early to develop a unified, evidence-based plan. Advanced 3D modelling simulates the full construction lifecycle, enabling precise resource allocation, risk reduction, and accurate procurement scheduling. This collaborative, technology-driven foundation ensures your project starts with clarity, confidence, and cost certainty. |
Ensuring disciplined, transparent, and value-driven execution
Are your projects progressing with full visibility — or are design changes, contractor performance, and cost control difficult to manage? |
| Without structured oversight, even strong teams can experience scope drift, budget pressure, or fragmented communication. |
| With decades of mining and infrastructure experience, Tacmin Construction manages every project component: contractor sourcing, change control, cost governance, schedule integrity, safety leadership, and stakeholder reporting. Our approach ensures transparent, coordinated delivery that protects budgets, strengthens accountability, and consistently meets client and shareholder expectations. |
Removing waste, reducing cost, and maximising productivity
Are you paying for inefficiency — or capturing full value from your project inputs? |
| Traditional methods often hide duplication, time loss, and unnecessary cost escalation. |
Through first-principles pricing, lean methodologies, and Project Life Cycle controls, we deliver detailed financial projections, precise cost scaling, and disciplined resource optimisation. IoT-enabled insights improve productivity and safety, while waste is systematically removed from every step. The result: faster, cleaner, safer, and more cost-effective project delivery. |
Tailoring execution strategy to cost, schedule, and collaboration needs
Is your delivery method enabling success — or constraining it? |
| Choosing the wrong contracting model can create budget pressure, dispute risk, and fragmented execution. |
| Tacmin Construction deploys multiple delivery methodologies — Design-Bid-Build (DBB), Integrated Project Delivery (IPD), Target Value Design (TVD), and Design & Construct/CMAR — depending on project complexity and client objectives. Integrated FEED and Open Book Estimating (OBE) improve predictability, transparency, and collaboration. Under D&C/CMAR, we take full responsibility for design and construction, driving accountability, innovation, and consistently better outcomes. |
