Local engineering partner in Ukraine for foreign design firms
We take a concept or schematic design produced abroad, complete it to Ukrainian codes, price it under the national base, carry it through state expert review and supervise construction — so that financing opens and the building gets built.
Why a foreign design cannot enter the Ukrainian permitting process as it is
Every construction project financed in Ukraine, whether by the state budget, a municipality or an international donor, has to pass state expert review before money is released. Expert review checks the documentation against Ukrainian State Building Codes (DBN) and standards (DSTU), and against the national cost-estimating base (KNU Guideline No. 281). A concept, schematic design or technology package prepared under Eurocodes or the national codes of another country does not meet that test on its own.
The gap is not only in structural calculations. Ukrainian documentation has a fixed composition: civil defence engineering measures, fire-safety sections, environmental assessment, construction organisation design, bills of quantities and cost estimates in the national format, entry into the state construction register. Missing any of them stops the review.
Authorship of the architectural or technological solution stays with the partner. Energoprom makes it buildable and fundable under Ukrainian law.
How the partnership works
- The partner hands over the concept, schematic design or technology together with the design intent.
- We identify the gap against Ukrainian codes and agree the split of work, section by section.
- We produce the missing sections, prepare the cost part under the national base and assemble the full set.
- We carry the documentation through state expert review and resolve the reviewers' comments.
- On site we provide designer's supervision and defend the design decisions with the contractor and the client.
A contract can cover one section, one stage, the cost part alone, or the full package.
Working languages are Ukrainian and English. Meetings with European partners can be held in person within the EU.
What we bring
Cost part under the national base
Estimates under Guideline No. 281 and price analysis under Resolution No. 1512 and Guideline No. 591 — the documents the State Audit Service examines.
Expert review and register
Submission, follow-up and response to comments; entry of the project and documentation into the state construction register.
Construction capacity
Registered main contractor (NACE 41.20) with delivered public contracts, including a UAH 50.79 million shelter repair in Zmiiv under open tender. Construction works →
Civil defence and shelters
Over fifteen protective structures and shelters designed for schools and hospitals since 2023 — a mandatory component of most public buildings in Ukraine today.
Local presence
Kharkiv office and a track record with municipalities and regional administrations in Kharkiv, Poltava, Kyiv, Luhansk and Volyn regions. Track record 2021–2026 →
Frequently asked questions
Can a foreign concept design be submitted for Ukrainian expert review directly?
No. Expert review accepts only documentation composed and priced under Ukrainian codes. A foreign concept has to be completed with the missing sections, recalculated where the codes differ, priced under the national estimating base and assembled in the prescribed form before submission.
Who keeps authorship of the design?
The partner. Energoprom adapts and completes the documentation, signs the sections it produces and takes responsibility for compliance with Ukrainian codes; the architectural and technological solution remains the partner's.
Can the contract cover only part of the work?
Yes. It can be limited to one section, one design stage, the cost part alone, expert review support, or designer's supervision — or cover the whole package.
Which regions do you work in?
Kharkiv is the home region. Projects have been delivered in Kharkiv, Poltava, Kyiv, Luhansk and Volyn regions; other regions are agreed case by case.
How long does adaptation and expert review take?
Adaptation depends on the size of the gap; for a typical public building it is measured in weeks. Statutory expert review takes up to 30 calendar days for most projects, plus the time to resolve comments.
Do you work with donor-funded reconstruction programmes?
Yes. Documentation is prepared so that it passes both Ukrainian expert review and the checks of the financing institution; feasibility studies and price analysis reports are produced in the form these programmes require.
