Project Finance for Construction by Anthony Higham,Carl Bridge,Peter Farrell Pdf

The world of construction is intrinsically linked with that of finance, from the procurement and tendering stage of projects right through to valuation of buildings. In addition to this, things like administrations, liquidations, mergers, take-overs, buy-outs and floatations affect construction firms as they do all other companies. This book is a rare explanation of common construction management activities from a financial point of view. While the practical side of the industry is illustrated here with case studies, the authors also take the time to build up an understanding of balance sheets and P&L accounts before explaining how common tasks like estimating or valuation work from this perspective. Readers of this book will not only learn how to carry out the tasks of a construction cost manager, quantity surveyor or estimator, they will also understand the financial logic behind them, and the motivations that drive senior management. This is an essential book for students of quantity surveying or construction management, and all ambitious practitioners.

Project Finance in Construction by Tony Merna,Yang Chu,Faisal F. Al-Thani Pdf

Project finance has spread worldwide and includes numerousindustrial projects from power stations and waste-disposal plantsto telecommunication facilities, bridges, tunnels, railwaynetworks, and now also the building of hospitals, educationfacilities, government accommodation and tourist facilities. Despite financial assessment of PF projects being fundamental tothe lender’s decision, there is little understanding of howthe use of finance is perceived by individual stakeholders; why andhow a financial assessment is performed; who should be involved;where and when it should be performed; what data should be used;and how financial assessments should be presented. Current uncertainty in financial markets makes many sponsors ofconstruction project financings carefully consider bank liquidity,the higher cost of finance, and general uncertainty for demand.This has resulted in the postponement of a number of projects incertain industry sectors. Governments have seen tax receiptsdrastically reduced which has affected their ability to financeinfrastructure projects, often irrespective of the perceiveddemand. Equity providers still seek to invest, however there areless opportunities due to market dislocation. Due to the demand forglobal infrastructure it is believed that project financings willreturn to their pre-crunch levels, or more so, howeverlenders’ liquidity costs will be passed on to the borrowers.Lenders will also be under stricter regulation both internally andexternally. The steps outlined in the guide are designed to provide a basicunderstanding for all those involved or interested in bothstructuring and assessing project financings. Secondary contractsinvolving constructors, operators, finance providers, suppliers andofftakers can be developed and assessed to determine theircommercial viability over a projects life cycle. Special Features a structured guide to assessing the commercial viabilityof construction projects explains economic metrics to use in the decision makingprocess detailed case study shows how stakeholders apply the concept ofproject finance

Project Finance for Construction and Infrastructure by Frederik Pretorius,Berry-Fong Chung-Hsu,Arthur McInnes,Paul Lejot,Douglas Arner Pdf

This is a self-contained text on the logic and institutions of project finance, supplemented by a series of project finance case studies illustrating applications in different economic environments, across different jurisdictions and at different stages of development. It will introduce an analytical framework drawing on applied institutional economics that includes and concentrates primarily on an analysis of the institutional logic behind generic project finance arrangements. The application of the institutional framework will be demonstrated with project cases from Hong Kong, Thailand, India, Europe and Azerbaijan – each at different stages of development. While each project case will have a general theme and will highlight aspects of interest to built environment professionals, it will primarily be used to illustrate one or more specific PF/PFI principle.

Project Finance in Developing Countries by Priscilla Anita Ahmed,Xinghai Fang Pdf

"This report explores the changing face of project finance in developing markets. IFC, and more recently, other multilateral, bilateral, and export credit institutions have played a strong suportive role in bringing project finance to its current volumes. This role was highlighted in 1998, when these institutions sustained flows of an estimated $25 billion at a time when there was an abrupt decline in some types of private flows. IFC, in particular, was a pioneer of project finance in developing countries and has a unique depth of experience in this field, which spans more than 40 years in the practical implementation of some 2000 projects, many of them on a limited-recourse basis. Particularly in today's marketplace, IFC's ability to mobilize finance (both loan and equity for its own account and syndicated loans under its B-loan program), the strength of iis project appraisal capabilities, and its experience in structuring complex transactions in difficult environments have been reassuring to other participants and important to the successful financing of many projects. This report draws on IFC's experience in more than 230 greenfield projects costing upward of $30 billion that relied on project finance on a limited-recourse basis (see Appendix A). It opens with a brief description of the major international trends in project finance over the past two decades and then turns to the essential ingredients of successful project financing."--Publisher abstract.

Principles of Project Finance by E. R. Yescombe Pdf

This introduction for practitioners offers a balanced view of project financing, integrating legal, contractual, scheduling, and other areas that participate in large multiparty projects, large single-asset purchases, and broad-based financing programs for fleets of assets. It mixes theories and case studies but avoids becoming too oriented toward applications in any one particular industry. It focuses on the concepts and techniques required by project finance people without being overly academic or beset by case studies. The author, who has a legal background, recognizes that some legal information is necessary, but he doesn't attempt to write a law book. Project Finance refers to the techniques of financing projects which are dependent on cash flows for repayment, as defined by the contractual relationships within each project. By their very nature, these types of projects rely on a large number of integrated contractual arrangements for successful completion and operation. Project finance is an element within the larger field of project management. Many organizations around the world utilize project management to enable innovative processes, to plan, organize, and control strategic initiatives, to monitor enterprise performance, to analyze significant deviations, and to forecast their impact on the organization and project(s). Project management can be found in many industries today, from construction and information systems to healthcare, financial services, education, and training. A comprehensive and authoritative guide to the theory and practice of project finance An international scope, covering projects in both the developed and developing worlds The book describes and explains: Sources of project finance Typical commercial contracts (such as those for construction of the project and sale of its product or services) and their impact on the project finance structure Project finance risk assessment from the points of view of lenders, investors, and other project parties Structuring the project finance debt The key issues in negotiating a project finance debt facility Extensive glossary and cross-referencing No prior knowledge of project finance or financing techniques is assumed
