Mining & Quarrying Contractor

Mining/Quarrying Contractors are responsible for executing the physical extraction and associated operations on behalf of the Mine Owner.

This includes drilling, blasting, hauling, and site development, often in remote and demanding environments. Mining/Quarrying Contractors ensure that production targets are met safely, efficiently, and in compliance with environmental and regulatory standards.

Scope Ambiguity & Risk Allocation
Challenge

Mine contractors face increased risk due to scope ambiguity in mining contracts, particularly regarding geological uncertainty and regulatory compliance. Unclear BoQs at tender cause pricing risks, and this issue persists during operations, leading to costly delays and disputes

Solution

ProjectVIEW ERP’s integration between estimation, procurement, and cost control, leads to more accurate cost breakdowns, faster submissions, and more reliable project baselines

Supply Chain Disruptions
Challenge

Logistical challenges in remote mine sites, global shortages, customs delays, or supplier insolvency can halt mining operations, delaying delivery of critical equipment and materials, leading to idle time, increased costs, and missed production deadlines

Solution

ProjectVIEW ERP’s integration of Site Item Requests, Procurement, Warehouse, and Materials Control streamlines the Supply Chain Cycle, enabling Just-in-time Procurement

Change Management & Claims Preparation
Challenge

The stringent regulatory environment of mining, with frequent changes to environmental compliance requirements, unclear instructions for waste management, or informal communication regarding site rehabilitation, creates significant confusion and delays. Mining contractors face challenges in submitting justified variation claims, resulting in disputes and delayed payments

Solution

ProjectVIEW ERP’s BoQ versioning control allows tracking of BoQ and WBS changes associated with related drawings

Resource & Subcontractor Coordination
Challenge

Mining contractors face challenges managing subcontractors due to specialized equipment and skills required in often remote, rugged environments. Strict safety regulations and logistical complexities, particularly in material transport, increase the risk of delays and disputes

Solution

ProjectVIEW ERP’s Site Applications capture subcontractor productivity and align certifications with payments

Client-Mandated ERP System Implementation
Challenge

Large private mining companies and government require digital reporting and traceability, but fragmented contractor systems impede real-time progress, cost, and compliance reporting, affecting project assurance

Solution

ProjectVIEW serves as a centralized, cloud-based ERP platform that securely disseminates knowledge to all project stakeholders.
