70% of capital projects in sub-Saharan Africa are over budget and 85% behind schedule. When this happens, many multimillion dollars’ claims are made by either the owners or the contractors, so they can recover for the losses. Regardless of how the claims are managed in the courts, all the parties end up losing.
Within an integrated process, our planners, schedulers, risk analysts and highly qualified cost engineers create project control solutions, specifically adjusted to the needs of your project or program, such as: Scope, schedule, costs and deadlines.
Driven by a passion for cost engineering and artificial intelligence, the Ekton team produces probabilistic costs and schedules for satisfied customers in the industry:
