Reviews
Joseph Leo Beckhoff General Director OOO VEKA Rus
The first meeting between VEKA representatives and IC&M Company dates back to 2002, when VEKA was conducting research to evaluate the market capacity of the Novosibirsk region. The credit is to be given to IC&M for making comprehensive and detailed market studies available for our review. Based on this review VEKA later made a decision to invest in the Novosibirsk region.
Considering the positive market research experience, we assigned IC&M to undertake all pre-project works and to implement the construction project under an investment contract.
IC&M assistance was especially valuable as concerns the solution of the following questions:
- Land plot search and registration
- Transfer of the land plot from one category to another
- Service line connection such as electric power, water, heat supply etc.
- Contacts with local and regional authorities up to the Governor
- Assistance in conducting tenders for participation in plant construction
- Budget planning
- Assistance in negotiations
- Supervision of construction on the site
- Tracking the deal on final registration of the investment object...
I believe this list is far from being complete, however it gives an idea of the multifaceted range of services provided by IC&M.
Undoubtedly, our progress in Siberia would have been not so impressive if we had started on our own, without support of our consulting agency. In addition, our amicable and trusting relationships make our cooperation quite special.
Summing up, IC&M was and remains an absolute lucky circumstance for VEKA.
