Every project is verifiable numbers, not pretty words

Six projects from 2022–2025: the client's challenge, our solution, floor area, timeline — and the client's own words.

Residential Completed 2024

Alatau Residential Complex, Almaty

The challenge

The developer needed a general contractor able to finish a 168-unit residential complex without wrecking the sales schedule — the previous contractor had fallen behind before even leaving the excavation stage.

What we delivered

We rebuilt the works programme, mobilised our in-house crews and closed the monolithic frame in six months, then ran the facade, MEP and landscaping as parallel workstreams.

Role
General contractor

Delivered on schedule. Zero remarks from the state acceptance inspection.

“DDCom rescued a project we had written off as hopelessly late. The keys were handed over on the exact day written in the contract.”

Yerzhan Suleimenov, Director, Alatau Development LLP
Commercial Completed 2023

Business Centre on Dostyk Avenue, Almaty

The challenge

The client needed a Class B+ office building on a tight downtown plot — restricted noise hours, complicated logistics and no right to close the adjacent sidewalk.

What we delivered

A full design-and-build package: night-time material deliveries, a tower crane with a restricted slewing zone, and a curtain-wall facade installed in two months.

Floor area
8,200 m²
Build time

Completed
2023
Role
Design + construction

Delivered on schedule. 92% tenant occupancy within the first six months.

“Not a single complaint from the neighbours in 11 months of construction in the city centre. That says a lot.”

Marat Ospanov, Managing Partner, development group
Industrial Completed 2025

Manufacturing Facility, Almaty Industrial Zone

The challenge

A food producer needed a plant with clean rooms and precise MEP parameters — and the production-line launch was hard-locked to an equipment supply contract.

What we delivered

A steel-frame building with sandwich panels, power-floated floors rated for 6 t/m² and utilities engineered around the client's process. Equipment installation ran in parallel with fit-out.

Floor area

Build time

Completed
2025
Role
General contractor

Zero remarks from the state inspection. Production line launched on schedule.

“DDCom's engineers understood our process better than we ever expected from a construction company.”

Sergey Kim, Production Director
Private Completed 2024

Private Residence, Almaty Region

The challenge

The owner wanted a contemporary house with floor-to-ceiling glazing on a sloped plot in a seismic zone 9 area — three architecture firms had already turned the site down.

What we delivered

We designed and built the residence on a monolithic raft with retaining walls, closed the thermal envelope before winter, and fitted a geothermal heat pump with heat-recovery ventilation.

Floor area
850 m²
Build time

Completed
2024
Role
Design + construction

Delivered on schedule. Final cost stayed within the fixed budget.

“The budget didn't grow by a single tenge. For a private build, that's close to a miracle.”

Dmitry Kovalev, Homeowner
Commercial Completed 2022

Mercur Shopping Centre, Almaty

The challenge

An operating shopping centre needed a new wing — without closing a single existing tenant for even one day.

What we delivered

We built the extension on an independent structural frame, rerouted utility connections during scheduled night windows, and joined the two buildings in one planned week of works.

Floor area
6,400 m²
Build time

Completed
2022
Role
General contractor

Delivered on schedule. Tenants stayed open every single day.

“Shoppers never noticed there was a construction site next door. Rental income didn't dip a single month.”

Aigul Nazarbayeva, Manager, Mercur Shopping Centre
Industrial Completed 2025

Class A Logistics Complex, Almaty Region

The challenge

An e-commerce operator needed a Class A warehouse with 24 dock doors — in 13 months, ready before peak season and wired for WMS automation.

What we delivered

Full-cycle design and construction: steel pre-ordered before detailed design was finished, the frame erected through the winter, and floors laid to a flatness tolerance fit for narrow-aisle handling equipment.

Floor area
18,000 m²
Build time
13 mo
Completed
2025
Role
Design + construction

Delivered on schedule — three weeks before peak season.

“The warehouse received its first goods on the exact day written into the contract a year earlier.”

Services

What we take responsibility for

Full cycle or a single stage — either way, accountability is fixed in the contract.

General contracting

One contract, one point of responsibility: budget, schedule, subcontractors, quality. You talk to one project manager — not ten foremen.

Design & engineering

Architectural concept, detailed design, state expert review. A design you can actually build from — not one you fix on the fly.

Commercial buildings

Office buildings, retail centres, HoReCa. We plan not just the budget, but the day your asset starts earning.

Industrial facilities

Plants, workshops, warehouses, logistics. Designed around your process, with construction synchronised to equipment installation.

Private houses & residences

Bespoke turnkey projects: geology, seismic design, building systems, landscaping. One contractor from foundation to front gate.

Reconstruction & extensions

We work on live, operating properties without stopping your business — see the Mercur case above.

Process

Five steps from enquiry to keys

A transparent routine: you always know what is happening on site and what comes next.

  1. Enquiry & consultation

    You send a request — we call back within an hour during business hours, clarify the brief and schedule a meeting or a site visit.

    Day 1

  2. Site visit & preliminary numbers

    An engineer inspects the site and reviews your documents. You get a budget and timeline range — free, with no strings attached.

    3–5 days

  3. Design & fixed budget

    We design, pass state expert review, and lock the budget, the schedule and the delay penalties — ours, not yours — into the contract.

    1–3 months

  4. Construction

    In-house crews, technical supervision, weekly photo reports and open site access on any day you choose.

    Per contract schedule

  5. Handover & 5-year warranty

    Commissioning, as-built documentation and the project warranty passport. Warranty call-outs are answered within 48 hours.

    Plus 5 years after

Reviews

What our clients say

We handed DDCom a troubled project after another contractor. Fourteen months later we got the keys on the exact contract date. Weekly reports, a transparent budget, not one hidden charge. We have already signed them for a second residential complex.

Yerzhan Suleimenov Director, Alatau Development LLP Google · March 2025

They built our 850 m² house on a difficult sloped plot. The budget didn't move a single tenge in nine months — I checked every acceptance act. A year after we moved in, they readjusted the facade glazing under warranty within two days.

Dmitry Kovalev Private residence owner 2GIS · December 2024

They added a new wing to our operating shopping centre. Not one tenant closed for a single day — and that was the key condition of the contract. Two years in: not one leak, not one crack.

FAQ

What clients ask before starting a project

How much does construction cost per square metre?

2026 benchmarks: warehouse and industrial buildings from ₸180,000/m², residential complexes from ₸250,000/m², commercial buildings from ₸280,000/m², private houses from ₸350,000/m². The spread depends on building systems, facade solutions and finishes. We fix the exact budget after the design stage — and it does not change until handover.

How long do design and construction take?

Design including state expert review takes 2 to 5 months depending on complexity. Construction: a private house — 8–12 months, a commercial building — 10–14, an industrial facility — 10–13. The exact schedule is locked into the contract, with penalties on us for any delay caused by our side.

What does the fixed budget include?

All materials, labour, machinery, utility networks, temporary works, overheads and taxes. The budget changes in one case only — if you change the brief yourself; then we sign an addendum before any new work begins. There are no "as-it-turned-out" surprises.

What warranty do you give and what does it cover?

Five years on load-bearing structures, the roof and building systems; two years on finishes. The warranty is written into the contract. For a warranty claim, an engineer is on site within 48 hours and the remedy is at our expense.

How do acceptance and handover work?

Concealed works are accepted stage by stage with signed acts and photo records — you or your technical supervisor sign off each stage. Before handover we run a joint walkthrough against a checklist, hand over the as-built documentation and support commissioning until the acceptance act is issued.

Do you work outside Almaty?

Yes — across all of Kazakhstan: we have built in Almaty Region, Astana and Shymkent. For projects over 3,000 m², crew mobilisation to another region appears in the budget as a separate transparent line — no "remote site" markups.
