Who we are

INVECON ENGINEERING

INVECON ENGINEERING LLP
Head office: Astana, Republic of Kazakhstan

INVECON ENGINEERING is a capital construction project management company headquartered in Astana. We provide full-cycle services from design through to commissioning, with digital technology embedded in construction monitoring and control.

Over thirteen years more than 550 projects have been completed under our management. Beyond Kazakhstan we are present in the markets of Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Azerbaijan and Georgia.

The defining feature of the model is independence. We do not sell construction and are never the recipient of the construction contract: the fee is paid for management, so our economic interest is aligned with the investor's. Fixed-price EPC contracting is, as a matter of policy, not part of our range.

Approach: from risk to outcome

Risk → services → outcome

Every INVECON service follows one logic: client risk → what INVECON does → results and effect. We do not describe services as lists of activities, because a client does not buy activities — they buy the removal of specific risks.

1Client risk
  • Schedules are uncontrolled and nobody can state the real completion date
  • Certificates carry inflated quantities and there is no final cost forecast
  • Covered works are closed unchecked and defects surface at acceptance
  • Non-compliant site records delay handover by months
  • Contracts do not protect the owner and claims are not pursued
  • The investor decides on the basis of interested parties' reports
2What INVECON does
  • Baseline, critical path, progress control and forecasting
  • Quantity verification before certificate signature, Cost to Complete
  • Supervision: incoming, in-process and acceptance control, testing
  • Document control and records maintained alongside the works
  • Balanced contracts, change control and claims
  • Independent monthly reporting to the investor
3Outcome
  • A reliable completion date and final cost forecast
  • Payment for verified work only
  • Minimal rework and predictable acceptance
  • The asset hands over with its full documentation set
  • A protected contractual position
  • Decisions based on verifiable data
