Viconus, a construction project management company, has been effectively coordinating projects in the energy and real estate (RE) sectors for 20 years. The company proves its competence by responsible and professional activities from idea generation to project implementation using state-of-the-art process management tools.
“After many years of consistent and responsible work, I can say with certainty that we are strong in procurement, design and construction management, maintenance and engineering consultancy,” says Renatas Viršilas, CEO of Viconus.
The greater the task, the more important the team
R. Viršila says that in each case it is important to identify the client’s expectations and to build a professional team. A medium-sized project worth EUR 5-10 million requires up to 15 specialists from different fields, because only by pooling diverse expertise can all processes be managed. Typically, the team consists of project managers with experience in design and real estate project management, a procurement specialist (estimating engineer), a maintenance manager, experts in different fields, a safety specialist and a BIM engineer. All these people work together to ensure the smooth and successful progress of the work: they apply innovative project quality control methods, maintain smooth communication, identify risks, manage time and financial resources, take care of the environment, health and safety and sustainability.
The Open Book principle for managing costs and choosing the best solutions
Viconus specialists use different working models depending on the specifics of the projects, but risk assessment, quality procurement and detailed terms of reference prepared by engineers are essential elements in all cases. Flexibility, transparency and responsibility are key elements. However, economic nuances and the geopolitical situation in today’s world of construction business require more flexible project management, and Viconus has already successfully applied new approaches in several projects. The company’s contract model, perfected down to the last detail, ensures that the client will be able to choose the best solutions without risking to exceed the contract price, and the contractor will be motivated to deliver time-tested solutions. The basis of this contract model is the interplay between the open book principle and the maximum guaranteed price.
Intelligent process control eliminates errors
One of the priorities of the Viconus team is to optimise work processes to ensure quality, speed and excellence. “In new construction projects, we do not do without energy and resource efficiency, so we use BIM information modelling for our management solutions and avoid mistakes,” says Viršilas.
Managing multi-stakeholder projects, the company uses digitised tools to make work more productive. They are essential for achieving the best possible maturity in process management. “Viconus is certified to ISO standards 9001, 14001, 45001, which attest to the excellent quality of its work, its sustainability and the trust of its customers.
The company’s professionalism is also demonstrated by the latest projects with exceptional solutions – the EUR 60 million apartment and office complex Memelio miestas in Klaipėda, the EUR 12 million private school North Lyceum in Vilnius district, the EUR 10 million nature therapy centre SANCTUM, and others.
