Challenge

  • Investor had two bids from international EPCs at 18–22% above local benchmark.
  • TEİAŞ grid-connection route required two different OIZ corridors and a substation upgrade.
  • YEKDEM eligibility window was closing within 9 months of project start.

Approach

  • Built a 3-firm Turkish EPC consortium covering PV, BESS, and HV substation scope.
  • Negotiated cost reductions of 22% versus the lowest international bid through disclosed-margin sourcing.
  • Coordinated TEİAŞ pre-license, Investment Office incentive certificate, and YEKDEM filings in parallel.
  • Weekly site reports with photo evidence and cost dashboard delivered to the investor's IC.

Result

  • Site energized two weeks ahead of YEKDEM deadline.
  • Total CAPEX 19% below original international-EPC quote.
  • Investor proceeded to a second 150 MW phase with the same consortium.

Time to first part

Challenge

  • Three OIZ candidates with different incentive packages, labor markets, and logistics costs.
  • Tight production-launch deadline tied to a customer SOP date in Germany.
  • MV switchgear lead time risked slipping the electrical commissioning window.

Approach

  • Comparative OSB analysis with 5-year operating-cost projection per site.
  • Investment incentive certificate filed in parallel with site work, not after.
  • Local switchgear sourcing at 31% saving versus imported equivalent, with quality audit.
  • Permanent on-site project lead reporting to the investor's HQ weekly.

Result

  • First part produced 6 weeks ahead of internal target date.
  • Operating-cost incentives secured within Region 5 framework.
  • Workforce of 180 hired and trained within commissioning window.

Pro forma vs actual RevPAR

Challenge

  • Land use designation required reclassification before tourism license could be obtained.
  • Investor had no Türkiye-based representation; all reviews ran through Riyadh.
  • Coordination across architect (European), operator (international brand), and contractor (local) added latency.

Approach

  • Drove the zoning reclassification and tourism license filings as the single point of contact.
  • Quarterly investor reports in English with cost, schedule, and design decisions captured.
  • On-site engineering review every two weeks for MEP, FF&E, and commissioning items.
  • Pre-opening readiness checklist tied to operator's brand audit standards.

Result

  • Soft-opened on the originally planned date despite a 3-month zoning delay.
  • Operator brand audit passed at first attempt.
  • Q1 RevPAR 12% above the pro forma underwritten at financing.
