MINE & QUARRY OWNERS · MINING & QUARRYING
How do mine and quarry owners use ProjectVIEW ERP and AI?
Every mine and quarry owner can use ProjectVIEW as project controls ERP software for development, expansion and sustaining capital projects. It links budgets, contracts, progress, payments and plant cost to one BoQ ↔ WBS ↔ Cost Codes structure, while ProjectVIEW AI flags cost and schedule risks early.
Build the capital budget
To begin with, break the project into WBS packages such as pit development, processing plant, haul roads and infrastructure. Then price each package from estimates and productivity templates.
The Bidding & Estimation Agent compares rates with past projects, so the budget rests on evidence.
Package and tender the works
After that, group BoQ items into contract mining, earthworks, plant construction and supply packages. Then issue Requests for Proposal and compare the offers.
Every score stays on record, so the award decision is transparent. As a result, contract mining and plant packages follow the same structure.
Set one cost and time baseline
When you award the contracts, each one becomes a cost and time baseline. The contractors’ schedules then combine into one Gantt view.
As a result, the owner sees one programme and one budget across all packages.
Track progress and production
While work goes on, contractors report daily progress and quantities moved through portals and mobile apps. Dashboards then compare progress and cost with the baseline.
ProjectVIEW AI reads this live data and flags slippage early, so you act before the budget moves. In addition, the owner reviews one dashboard instead of many reports.
Control plant and equipment cost
In addition, track the maintenance, spares, fuel and depreciation of owned equipment by project. Also, link each machine to the WBS activities it supports.
Meanwhile, the Machinery Maintenance Agent flags abnormal fuel use and idle time for your review.
Approve changes and pay for verified work
When a change occurs, it creates a new BoQ version with its cost and time effect. Then payment requests are checked against measured quantities and the contract BoQ.
So you pay only for work that is verified on site. As a result, every payment links to measured work.
Forecast cost to complete and cash flow
Finally, Earned Value Management shows cost and schedule performance for every package. Forecasts also update as progress and costs come in.
In addition, the Cash Flow & Finance Agent builds best, expected and worst-case cash flow for the finance team. So every mine and quarry owner gets project controls ERP software that keeps budget, progress and evidence in one place.
How do cost changes affect our project budget?
Unclear geological data, environmental challenges, and limited cost engineering input undermine reliable budgeting. Unforeseen conditions and regulatory complexity often force adjustments, putting project viability at risk.
Query the relevant project records and generate an on-demand report with ProjectVIEW AI.
ProjectVIEW ERP delivers early-stage realistic budgeting software for mining projects, ensuring accurate feasibility studies and financial planning.
Queries and reports follow your organization’s role and access permissions. Approval actions remain with authorized users.
Which work packages match the resources available?
Mining projects should integrate local communities, leverage regional resources, and prioritize local contractors. This fosters acceptance and secures government support, aligning projects with regional economic goals.

ProjectVIEW ERP promotes social responsibility by segmenting projects to align with local production capacity and community development.
Which tender offers meet our technical and commercial requirements?
Resource validation and feasibility studies are critical for Tendering. Mine owners must evaluate bids under Fixed-Price, Cost-Plus, and Unit-Rate contracts. Poor budgeting leads to misaligned scopes and schedule disruptions.
Query the relevant project records and generate an on-demand report with ProjectVIEW AI.
Compiling tender documents, soliciting packages, and evaluating proposals with ProjectVIEW ERP enforces transparency and strengthens contract oversight.
Where is progress falling behind the plan?
Mine Owners, relying on consultant reports and lacking real-time operational updates, often miss early warnings—hindering proactive cost control and timely decisions.

Using personalized dashboards with actual site data, ProjectVIEW ERP delivers real-time visibility and supports data-driven mining project management.
Which changes need approval, and what will they cost?
Mine Owners face design changes, geological risks, and evolving mining regulations. Without strong change management, delays, miscommunication, and cost overruns occur.
Query the relevant project records and generate an on-demand report with ProjectVIEW AI.
ProjectVIEW ERP enhances stakeholder collaboration and streamlines workflows, ensuring effective variation control in mining operations.
Do payment requests match verified progress?
Mining contractors and owners struggle to link progress and payments due to varied project stages and multiple contractors. Without accurate data, disputes arise.
Query the relevant project records and generate an on-demand report with ProjectVIEW AI.
ProjectVIEW ERP links actual costs to verified progress, providing financial clarity for auditors, lenders, and insurers in mining projects.
What is still missing before handover?
Mine Owners often face handover delays caused by incomplete documentation, affecting operational readiness and long-term maintenance of assets.
Query the relevant project records and generate an on-demand report with ProjectVIEW AI.
ProjectVIEW ERP updates designs, drawings, and BIM models with constructed elements—supporting snag lists, completing handover documentation, and strengthening asset lifecycle management for mining and quarry operations.
Mine and quarry owner project controls ERP software: the short answer
ProjectVIEW ERP gives mine and quarry owners one system to control development budgets, contract mining, fleet, procurement, production records and payments to contractors. Contract rates are BoQ items linked to WBS activities and cost codes, so cost per tonne and cost to complete are measured every period. In addition, ProjectVIEW AI flags cost and production risks for your review.
What a mine or quarry owner controls in ProjectVIEW ERP
- Development and sustaining capital per pit, plant and work package.
- Contract mining: contractor rates, measured production and certificates.
- Fleet and plant: utilisation, fuel, maintenance and spares.
- Procurement and warehouses for remote sites.
- Unit cost: actual cost per tonne or per metre against budget.
- Compliance records: environmental and HSE records linked to the work.

FAQ: ERP for mine and quarry owners
What should a mine owner look for in an ERP?
Control of capital projects and contract mining on one cost structure, with measured production, fleet and maintenance data and unit cost against budget.
How does ProjectVIEW ERP check contract mining payments?
Contractor certificates are compared with production measured per BoQ item. As a result, payments match verified tonnes and metres.
Does ProjectVIEW ERP manage the owner’s fleet?
Yes. Machinery management covers utilisation, fuel, preventive and corrective maintenance, spares and depreciation.
What does ProjectVIEW AI add for mine owners?
ProjectVIEW AI flags abnormal unit costs, idle fleet and delays early. Your team keeps approval authority.
How long does implementation take?
A typical go-live takes 5 to 7 months, delivered by DANAOS engineers, in the cloud or on premises. Pricing depends on the modules, the number of users and the deployment option.
