Erdemir Integrated Steel Service Project
650,000-ton/year Steel Service Center - Master Plan Governance
Production Capacity
650,000 tons/year
Investment
~$45M
Master Plan–Driven Project Governance
Erdemir Integrated Steel Service Project was initiated by Erdemir to establish a 650,000-ton/year steel service center within the Ereğli industrial complex, supporting operational efficiency and long-term production strategy. Following an initial feasibility study, the project progressed into execution with a targeted investment budget USD 45M, highlighting the financial sensitivity and complexity of large industrial capital programs.
To mitigate cost, schedule, and integration risks, a Master Plan–driven project governance framework was commissioned prior to full execution. The objective was not only delivery, but decision certainty—ensuring that design, procurement, construction, and financial controls operated within a single integrated management structure.
The project demanded early resolution of design coordination, budget reliability, and execution sequencing. Through model-based quantity take-offs, integrated scheduling, and cost forecasting aligned with corporate accounting structures, the project enabled informed executive decisions, early identification of budget variances, and measurable value engineering outcomes—most notably x-ton structural steel optimization generating material cost savings.
This project stands as a reference for governance-led industrial project control, where integration, not reporting volume, protected capital and executive confidence.

Key project information
xPM / BMM Role
Project Governance, Integration & Decision-Support Layer
xPM (operating as BMM) was engaged to design and implement a comprehensive Project Management Master Plan, functioning as an independent project governance, integration, and decision-support layer.
Rather than managing construction activities, xPM structured the management system itself—integrating design data, quantity take-offs, cost models, schedules, and risk registers into a unified control framework. xPM developed the Master Coding System, coordinated multi-discipline BIM models, and established Primavera-based integrated schedules linked to cost and cash-flow projections.
Monthly executive reporting was structured to align with Erdemir's internal accounting logic, enabling schedule, cost, and risk performance to be evaluated together, not in isolation. xPM also facilitated value engineering analysis, risk identification workshops, and scenario-based decision support—allowing the executive board to act early, not react late.
This role clearly distinguishes xPM from traditional project management by governing decisions, not tasks.
