Construction Contracting

Construction, by definition;

Construction of buildings, infrastructure and superstructure facilities, industrial enterprises, residential areas, transportation facilities such as roads, railways, airports and ports.

It starts with planning, financing and design and continues until the structure is built and ready for use; construction also includes repair and maintenance work, asset expansion, expansion, and improvement work, and eventual demolition, dismantling or decommissioning.

The first huts and shelters were built by hand or with simple tools. The Bronze Age brought about the emergence of a professional class of builders, mullet masters, pavers, carpenters. With these professional masters who specialized in their field, it was possible to transfer knowledge and skills to younger generations with the knowledge and master-apprentice relationship.

From time to time, slaves were used for construction works. In the Middle Ages, master classes organized guilds. In the 19th century, steam-powered machines appeared, and later, diesel and electric powered vehicles such as cranes, excavators, and bulldozers. These technological developments; The facilities and capabilities in the construction sector have also improved a lot.

Fast construction has become increasingly popular in the 21st century.

 

Areas of the Construction Sector

Generally, there are three construction sectors:

1. Building Constructions,

2. Infrastructure Constructions and

3. Industrial facilities

Building construction is generally divided into residential and non-residential.

Infrastructure, also called heavy construction or heavy engineering, includes large public works, dams, bridges, highways, railways, water or wastewater and utility delivery.

Industrial construction, offshore construction; mainly includes power facilities, mining and quarrying, refineries, chemical processing, power generation, mills and production facilities.

Construction Process of a Construction

For the construction of a building, the land selection is made first. If the landlord wants to get the construction done by a professional construction company, fully financed, we call this type of construction a commitment. Here the land owner can be private or public. If the landowner does not want to meet his financing while giving this job to a construction company; We call this situation construction with flat for flat or revenue sharing model. Land owner; If it gives a share of the construction to the construction company over certain independent sections determined by mutual agreement or the whole construction, this is the construction for the floor. If the landowner wants to sell the entire building to be built, then he can make a revenue sharing agreement with the construction company. The landowner and construction company get a certain share from each unit sold and complete the job.

These models, which we have given quite simply, can have many mixed derivatives.

As Brener, we have completed many works with our 22 years of experience in all the business models mentioned above. With our experience; Which type of model will work well on what terrain? We have an important accumulation of knowledge. We reflect this experience in our agreements with land owners. The best project is the finished project. For him; the model needs to be created from the beginning in a proper and working way.

Housing constructions must comply with local building authority regulations and codes of practice. The materials to be selected, the architectural project to be applied; It can be designed as desired, provided that it complies with zoning regulations. The important thing here is the power of architectural design; It is an important factor that creates the value of the building. As Brener, we are a company with architectural and industrial design roots. By giving an architectural identity to the buildings we construct; We care that each building has a unique design.

Repeating each other; to build buildings like warehouse buildings with windows open; Because we believe in the spirit that architectural design brings to buildings; does not seem appropriate. As Brener; We also enjoy doing the work required for each building to have a unique identity. Because we love our job.

 

Depending on the type of building, constructions;

It can be shopping malls, hotels, villas, local government buildings, educational institutions and religious institutions, mosques, transportation centers, retailers, financial institutions and social centers, parks and gardens and many more.

 

Infrastructure construction

In infrastructure construction, we describe areas that cover the design, construction and maintenance of the physically and naturally constructed environment, including public works such as roads, bridges, canals, dams, tunnels, airports, water and sewage systems, pipelines and railways.

 

Industrial construction

It includes factories, Transportation facilities, Marinas, Mining and quarrying, Petrochemical facilities and refineries, power generation facilities, Dams electricity transmission stations, agriculture and food facilities, warehouses.

 

Construction Processes and Planning

After a construction project is decided to be feasible, the first designed architectural project; It is re-made in accordance with the law, with the approval of local governments.

A construction project must comply with zoning and building regulations and local land use planning policies.

A project should be examined and evaluated in terms of data, field analysis, field surveys and Geotechnical surveys, adjacent properties and existing infrastructure, public services including transportation, social infrastructure and water supply, sewerage, electricity, telecommunications, etc. After all planning is done and necessary permissions are obtained; A license must be obtained by contacting the local government.

Preparatory work, in order to prevent situations that may cause interruptions and unforeseen risky situations during construction; It is made by considering all of the above effects. This topic is an experience; application skills, good relationships; mastering the technique of the project, changing it instantly when necessary; It has the same command of cost control and includes many factors such as constantly considering the financial viability of the project.

As Brener, this project is not just an application in development and construction; With our design and engineering skills, we design and project the projects in the most appropriate way for the field; We obtain the permissions from the relevant authorities and realize them.

 

Financing of Construction

It is not enough to own only the land for the realization of the project. A realistic financial plan is required. In previous years, projects started with the methods we call count-do; With many buildings left unfinished, this method has proved to be very difficult to apply now.

After the project planning, the financial portrait is prepared. A cash flow plan is made. According to this plan; How much of the financing will be met from equity and how much will be covered by pre-sales through the bank is determined from the beginning. Here, a bank guarantee is required for the part we call pre-sale. In order for this guarantee to be given, project partners must provide collateral to the bank. After the bank evaluates, it creates a project loan limit and releases the loan gradually with the progress payment method. The process of construction; If it goes according to the planned cpm (critical path method), there will be no problem.

However and unfortunately; Many construction plans are made at the desk and designed according to the best scenario. However, there is another reality in the field.

Desk engineers and field engineers often don't get along. Lack of dialogue always creates a problem. The solution is to enable the field engineers to work with desk engineers during the project phase. This is a difficult process.

As Brener; We achieve a very important success by keeping all technical staff together in the design phase of the project, CPM planning, financial planning and implementation phases. Thus, since there is no difference between planned and actual; project cash flow and financial plans are also going in consistency with budgets.

Depending on the type of project, harmonious working of all teams in project preparation and implementation is the most important secret of a construction project.

Financial planning ensures that the necessary risk assessments and contingency plans are available before the project starts and ensures that the plan runs smoothly throughout the project process.

Construction projects; During the process, if measures are taken, it may encounter preventable financial problems.

• Unforeseen increases in costs

• Labor shortage

• Problems in material supply

• Change of Local Administrators and want to make additional control

• The property owner; such as their unpredictable demands, their desire to make urgent sales and access to money.

• General problems in the banking system and requests to increase interest rates

• Inflation rise and or devaluation and losing cost control

• Capital resource problem due to one or more of the project partners who will put equity capital have financial problems and cannot contribute.

As Brener, we have encountered these and similar problems in all the projects we have carried out so far. We always finished and delivered our projects on time, as we act in a cautious manner and take into account the bad scenario. Our constructive behavior has also led us to sometimes act as lifeboats for projects. For example; buying the shares of a project partner in financial trouble; such as continuing the project without reflecting the problem. For this, we are always prepared for a back-up scenario after a certain financial structure has been established, encouraging us to act more realistically.

 

Construction law

A construction project consists of a complex construction contract and other legal obligations that all parties should consider carefully. It consists of a set of obligations between two or more parties. The contract should provide a systematic for managing potential problems. The important thing here is to describe the rights and obligations of all parties clearly and without any doubt. In construction contracts, the parties should definitely gather their experienced lawyers at the beginning. How to behave in a possible problem tomorrow; It is very important in terms of solving the work without interruption.

In a project, legal consultants; tries to identify uncertainties and other possible sources of problems in the contracts they will form and offer options to prevent problems. Initial definitions and preventive measures are very important to prevent and resolve conflicts that arise during the project construction process. Legal advisors; They make a description of the right and obligation that matches the reality of the project.

 

Bid creation processes

Design, Build Cost and Price, Start Construction Business; It is the method generally used in construction projects.

In this method, the Designing Engineering Group acts as the project coordinator for the client for whom they develop the project. They design the construction conceptually and in detail and prepare the specifications. All drawings and documents they have prepared; They deliver it to the construction company so that construction can be done accordingly. Then they check the construction process by comparing the project with the construction.

In accordance with the task assigned to them by the employer, they tender the whole or part of the construction work and tender to the construction company or companies.

They manage the project from start to finish. In parallel, there are direct contractual links between the client and the main contractor, who have direct contractual relationships with subcontractors. Their work continues until the project handover.

 

Designing the project as Brener; by carrying out the periods of construction and subsequent surrender and implementation; also by providing management services; not just the physical completion of the project; We are doing a complete project construction and delivery work to ensure that the life in it runs normally.
