Project management
We represent the owner before designers, contractors and suppliers
- Site committees and minutes
- Scope and change control
The problem
Large projects don’t fail for lack of information
They fail because of the distance between what happens on site and what leadership decides
Information arrives late
Reports are compiled by hand and arrive after the decision is made
Purchases go out too late
The procurement plan doesn’t follow the actual site schedule
Mistakes keep repeating
What’s learned leaves with each project

How we work
The same services, delivered differently
The rigour of a global firm, with presence on site
| Alternative | Brings | Limitation |
|---|---|---|
| Large global consultancies | Methodology and prestige | High cost and little presence on site |
| Project management and owner’s oversight | Control and compliance | Reports the past, doesn’t anticipate |
| Management software | Tools and licences | Adoption is left to the client |
| TKF | Global-firm rigour with presence on site | Anticipates and stays through to the result |
Our team works on its own platforms
KAOS for construction and real estate, and VÓRTEX for heavy machinery, both developed by TKF. You don’t buy software or change your accounting system: you hire the service and get access to your dashboard
