Construction case studies: Project management, financials, materials and more

By Debbie Trecek •

Published May 11, 2023, updated Feb 29, 2024

To stay competitive, construction businesses should stay on top of the latest trends and best practices in the industry. One of the best ways to do this is by studying real-life examples of construction projects, processes and businesses.

Construction case studies provide valuable insights into what works – and what doesn’t – in the construction industry, helping companies identify potential problems, develop best practices and improve their operations.

Why should construction companies research case studies?

What are construction case studies?

Construction case studies are detailed examinations of construction businesses, processes or projects. The goal of completing a case study is to help identify potential problems, measure results and develop best practices for repeated success. 

Why are construction case studies important?

Research is one of the most common steps people take before making a purchase or investment. This is especially true in construction, as a home is typically the largest single purchase people make in their lifetime .

Construction case studies help provide research to your prospective clients. By using these materials to measure the challenges, solutions and results of a construction project, you can help prove the value of your services.

Why should construction businesses create case studies?

Creating and marketing case studies of your recent construction projects can help your sales process by:

• Supplying examples of real-life work
• Gaining referrals
• Providing measurable results
• Improving brand reputation

These materials can also help your construction business improve internal processes. By analyzing case studies of your own projects, you can:

• Identify patterns of homeowner pain points and requests
• Capture areas where your company provides the most value to clients
• Segment audiences to target for future sales efforts

All of these efforts can be used to help you maximize profits and win more business in the future.

Just as case studies can be used to help you win more contracts, they can also be used as a tool to help you recognize business opportunities.

In the construction industry, businesses must constantly be looking for ways to improve operations and stay competitive in the market. That means looking for opportunities to streamline operations, reduce waste and improve efficiencies in a way that can improve profit margins.

One of the best ways to achieve these goals is through construction company software . As with any purchase, though, making an investment in a software tool should be supported by research.

That’s why Buildertrend provides insights and industry trends through our own library of construction management case studies. Within this archive, we highlight stories of construction companies just like yours that are tackling real-world obstacles using Buildertrend software.

As you browse case studies in construction materials, be sure to consider your own unique business challenges. These might include questions such as:

• How can you improve my construction project?
• What are the benefits of software in construction?
• How can you increase leads in construction?
• How can I be a good team leader in construction?
• How do you win a bid proposal?
• How do you financially manage a construction company?
• How can my document management system be improved?
• How can I improve my construction schedule?
• How to improve customer satisfaction in the construction industry?
• How can construction companies be more sustainable?
• How can I continually improve my construction company?
• How can I get more value from reporting?

Apply these proven industry results to your own business strategy.

How to Write Construction Case Studies

Construction case studies are one of the best kinds of text-based content you can add to your construction website, and they're also a great opportunity to share images of your projects or create a project gallery.

Let's take a closer look at how you can write construction case studies for your website, no matter what industry, sector or specialty you focus on.

1. Download Our Construction Case Study Template

We write case studies very often, and we've found a formula that works really well for information gathering. Download the free case study template on this page so you can organize your thoughts and put all the relevant information on one page.

2. Create Your Sections and Headings

When we write construction case studies, we usually work according to the same format, based on different headings and sections, which are usually:

• Project overview, which is a high-level summary of what you did during that project
• The problem or scope of work - every project is about solving a problem for a client, whether that's needing a new building for a specific purpose or expanding floor space during a renovation - this section should describe what the client needed to achieve
• The solution - describe how your company approached the problem and if there were any creative or innovative solutions used on the project
• Project budget - provide a brief description of the project budget and whether you came in under, on, or over budget, and don't forget to explain why!
• Project timeline - after money, one of the most important construction criteria is always time, so explain how you finished on time, or if you ran into challenges that affected timing, how you tackled them to minimize their impact
• Conclusion - wrap things up at the end by again highlighting the main successes on your project

It's important to note that case studies aren't all marketing and sales, and it's okay to admit there were challenges in your case study. Just make sure you also explain how you overcame those challenges.

3. Write Your Case Study

Once you've got your headings set up for your case study, it's time to get writing!

Case studies are intended for customers and end users, so they're usually not as technical as a white paper might be, but they tend to be a little more formal and less conversational than a blog post, so make sure your style and tone are based around that.

Like any other content you post on your website, you also need to ensure that you pay close attention to spelling and grammar as well as the flow of the piece. Try to use shorter sentences, avoid too much jargon, and don't repeat words if you can avoid it.

Use a proofing tool like Grammarly to double-check your case study before you publish it.

4. Optimize It

Case studies are fantastic for construction company content marketing because they usually contain location information, which is good for local SEO, but they are also a fantastic opportunity to include keywords and phrases on your website.

You can also link to service pages on your website from your case studies, and don't forget to add metadata and keywords when you publish your case study.

Case Study: Successful Project Management in the Construction Industry

Project management is a critical component in the construction industry, where large-scale projects often involve multiple stakeholders, extensive budgets, and tight deadlines. This case study examines the successful project management of the “Skyline Towers” project, a high-rise residential development in an urban area. The project was lauded for its adherence to timelines, budget management, and quality standards, showcasing the effectiveness of robust project management practices.

• Stakeholder Engagement: Successful management of Skyline Towers involved active and continuous stakeholder engagement. Regular meetings were held with investors, city officials, contractors, and future residents to ensure transparency and address any concerns promptly. A dedicated stakeholder management plan helped in mapping out the interests and influence of all parties involved, facilitating smooth communication and collaboration.

• Resource Management: Effective resource management was crucial for the timely completion of Skyline Towers. The project manager ensured that the right resources, including skilled labor, materials, and equipment, were available as needed. A resource allocation plan was put in place to optimize the use of resources, avoid bottlenecks, and manage costs effectively.

Implementation and Results

The implementation phase of Skyline Towers saw the effective application of these project management strategies. The project management team utilized a combination of traditional and agile methodologies to stay adaptable to changes. This hybrid approach enabled them to maintain control over the project while remaining flexible to adjustments as needed.

As a result, Skyline Towers was completed two months ahead of schedule and within the allocated budget. The final product exceeded quality expectations, earning praise from stakeholders and future residents alike. The proactive risk management strategies ensured that potential disruptions were mitigated effectively, and resource optimization led to significant cost savings.

The Skyline Towers project stands as a testament to the power of effective project management in the construction industry. By employing comprehensive planning, active stakeholder engagement, robust risk management, efficient resource management, and stringent quality control, Urban Developments Inc. successfully delivered a complex project. This case study underscores the importance of these strategies in achieving project success and highlights the potential for these practices to be replicated in similar large-scale construction projects.

Construction case study: hunt & collins wins $3.7m bid with 1build estimate.

Construction Estimating Service Delivers 620x ROI

Hunt & Collins Grows 3.7M in Revenue while Saving 3K Using Construction Estimating Service

We often hear about an amazing construction case study and wonder what the other guy knows that we don’t know. Indeed, when you spend 20+ years learning your trade, pay your dues in the field, and then attend college to learn the business of construction only to find you’re unable to grow your business--from city contracts to federal contracts--it can be a bit disappointing. Indeed, finding initial success, but feeling like you’ve hit a plateau can actually feel downright frustrating. Ricky Hunt, owner and president of Hunt & Collins , an HVAC contractor, was no stranger to this frustration. Having worked hard for years to significantly expand his business to larger contracts, he just wasn’t able to break through to the next level. He tried submitting more bids and even hiring in-house estimators, but still wasn’t seeing the success he dreamed about. 

As so many small, medium-sized and even large construction firms today can attest, winning new projects and developing a successful construction business as a contractor often seems like an unsolvable puzzle. You grind day after day and submit one bid after the next, yet you still keep losing way more bids than you win. Revenue is stagnant or declining and your business isn’t growing, but somehow your competitors seem to be doing just fine.

If you’re familiar with this scenario, you’re in good company: Hunt & Collins knows it as well. Luckily, as this construction case study attests, they’ve now become familiar with a better scenario: the one where a hard-working contractor submits a bid for a government contract, leveraging a detailed and accurate estimate by 1build, and wins the project of his dreams!  

The Anatomy of a Phenomenal Construction Case Study

Hunt & Collins is an HVAC contractor located in Madison Wisconsin, focusing on residential, new construction, and commercial building projects. The company was founded by Ricky Hunt, who completed trade school in 1983 and earned his B.A in Business Administration in 1996 from Western Michigan University--gaining 30 years of journeyman experience before he founded Hunt & Collins in 2014.

Hunt & Collins started out doing work for the city, but it was always Ricky’s goal to expand his business from small city contracts to larger federal contracts. However, due to Ricky’s excellent reputation, Hunt & Collins has more opportunities than they can keep up with--usually bidding on 3 or 4 projects at a time, and Ricky just didn’t have the bandwidth to take on one more estimate. As an HVAC full-service contractor, Ricky has a staff of in-house cost estimators to develop estimates, but using in-house estimators was starting to make it difficult to grow and expand his business.   

How to Win a 3.7M Bid with 1build

Ricky heard about a large project from his network, which would bring in millions of dollars worth of business if his company won the bid: a 225-unit, multi-family housing project with a community center. More importantly, Ricky only had a few days to submit a bid with an accurate estimate. “So it was a job estimate that would consume a lot of our time,” says Ricky, “and given our current workload, it was too much to ask our own estimators to take it on.” According to Ricky, Hunt & Collins didn’t have enough time, resources, or availability to hire another estimator. And if Ricky couldn’t find another option, he was going to have to pass on the project, losing revenue and a rare opportunity to significantly expand his business.   

Ricky found the other option he was looking for when a trusted source in the industry recommended 1build’s cost estimating service. Ricky immediately reached out to 1build to discuss the housing project with 1build’s estimators. Because the project was outside Ricky’s comfort zone, it was especially important that 1build’s estimate not only be accurate but also include the full scope of the work. Ricky soon learned that another benefit of working with 1build’s estimators was their deep expertise in the trades: “If I asked a question about something in my trade, they understood exactly what I was asking.”

“If I asked a question about something in my trade, they understood exactly what I was asking.” Ricky Hunt, Found and President of Hunt & Collins

After determining that 1build had a strong grasp of the scope of work, Ricky submitted his plans online, and within a few days, 1build provided a detailed and accurate estimate for the multi-million-dollar project. “The process overall was really easy,” says Ricky, “1build went out of their way to simplify it, so it was very smooth.” 

Ricky was also pleased with the quality of 1build’s estimate, which was detailed and comprehensive. When Ricky first approached 1build, he was unsure what the project “was going to cost to build,” but after receiving 1build’s completed cost estimate, which included an itemized spreadsheet with a total breakdown of the project cost, he not only understood the cost, but also felt confident he and his crew could handle the job. 1build made sure to “stick to the specifications and the right equipment” and included a “buffer” in the estimate to handle any contingencies that came up with the job. 1build made a point of reviewing the changes on the plans to ensure the final estimate they gave Ricky was going to be accurate: “They were just as concerned about getting the right number to me as I was concerned about successfully completing this project.”

"1buid was just as concerned about getting the right number to me as I was concerned about successfully completing this project." Ricky Hunt, Founder & President of Hunt & Collins

Mind-Blowing Results

With 1build’s help, Ricky received a detailed and accurate cost estimate for a project that enabled him to win a contract valued at 3.7 million dollars. What’s more, this contract didn’t just increase Hunt & Collins revenue, but also enabled Ricky to grow his business, fulfilling one of his original business objectives--to expand from city projects to federal projects: “1build allowed us to break into a new area into our business, and we feel very comfortable doing it because we established relationship with 1build.”  

Moreover, because Ricky didn’t have to hire a new estimator, Hunt & Collins saved over $3,000 dollars. In fact, due to 1build’s competitive price, Ricky actually saved 5% more than if he had completed the estimate in-house, which means he received a 620x return on investment in 1build. Ricky is so satisfied with the estimate and services he received that he believes Hunt & Collins “got much more value than we actually paid for.” 

"We got much more value than we actually paid for ." Ricky Hunt, Found & President of Hunt & Collins

Today, Hunt & Collins has seen mind-blowing results from using 1build:

• $3.7M Contract  
• $3K Savings

Identifying legal, bim data and visualization requirements to form legal spaces and developing a web-based 3d cadastre prototype: a case study of condominium building.

1. Introduction

2. 3d cadastre related legislation and project in türkiye, 2.1. condominium unit and 3d cadastre-related legislation, 2.2. the production of 3d city models and creation of 3d cadastral bases project, 3. legal, bim data and visualization requirements for 3d cadastre in türkiye, 3.1. legal requirements.

• the inner face of walls should be used when drawing the legal boundaries (spaces) of a condominium unit or an accessory part of a condominium unit.
• if a space in a condominium building is not designated as a condominium unit or an accessory part, then it should be considered a common space.
• all the walls outside a condominium unit, all main walls and the walls separating the condominium units should be considered common spaces
• common spaces include, but are not limited to, ○ all the structural components (e.g., foundations, main walls, beams, columns, bearing walls forming the load-bearing system, other elements forming part of the load-bearing system, walls separating condominium units, ceilings, floors; roofs, chimneys, common roof terraces, rain gutters and fire escapes); ○ joint facilities (e.g., courtyards, entrance doors, entrances, stairs; elevators, landings, corridors, caretaker’s rooms, laundry rooms, laundry drying rooms; coal cellars, common garages); ○ installations outside the condominium units (e.g., slots and closed installations for the protection of electricity, water and gas meters; heating rooms, wells, cisterns, common water tanks, shelters, sewers, rubbish chutes; heating, water, gas and electricity installations; common networks and aerials for telephone, radio and television; hot and cold air installations);
• accessory parts (e.g., parking space, cellar) that are indicated in the architectural drawings and/or the condominium deed should be considered as accessory parts.
• all of the above requirements should be supported by architectural drawings, building survey projects, building layout plans and condominium unit plans in order to support as-built BIM-based 3D cadastre.

3.2. BIM Data Requirements

• All space-bounding physical objects, such as the structural components, including load-bearing walls, floors, and columns, as well as the architectural features, such as the roof, and non-load-bearing walls, should be represented with their true (scaled) dimensions as specified in the architectural drawing.
• The representation of all walls should include their functions, particularly whether or not they are main walls (e.g., exterior) and/or load-bearing.
• Space-bounding physical objects should not overlap.
• Spaces should be delineated by the interior boundary faces of the abovementioned space-bounding physical objects. If the spaces are not related to a physical object, then virtual boundaries should be specified.
• It may be beneficial to annotate rooms with the type of use indicated by the architectural drawing in order to provide users with further information regarding the 3D spaces.
• It is recommended that the spaces be grouped according to the condominium units to which they belong.
• All physical objects and spaces, including those extending from the lowest to the highest points of the building, should be separated and associated with the relevant storeys (levels).
• The elevations of the storeys should be stated.

3.3. Visualization Requirements

• the parcel on which the condominium building is built should be identified. Annotations and attributes (e.g., identifier, area and so on) on the parcel should be included;
• the georeferenced condominium building should be identified. Annotations and attributes (e.g., identifier, area and so on) on the condominium buildings should be included;
• the private (main part) space of the condominium unit should be identified. This can be carried out by grouping each part (e.g., rooms) of the private space into one space. It should be noted that the rooms have no legal significance [ 68 ]. On the other hand, by grouping all rooms into one space, the legal space of the condominium unit can be created;
• the common spaces should be identified. Annotations and attributes (e.g., identifier, area and so on) on the common spaces should be included. Grouping all common spaces into one may help users to better understand these spaces;
• the accessory parts should be identified. Annotations and attributes (e.g., identifier, area and so on) on the accessory parts should be included;
• the condominium unit and the accessory part(s) should be associated (grouped) for a better understanding of the private ownership spaces together;
• spaces above and below ground should be identified;
• all spaces in condominium buildings should be topologically consistent;
• the legal spaces should be visually distinguished from the physical objects in 3D;
• having the option to visualize both the legal space of condominium buildings and physical building objects in the same prototype system can further support effective visualization and dissemination.

4. Case Study to Form Legal Spaces and Develop a Web-Based 3D Cadastre Prototype

4.1. preparation of the data—depicting physical objects and basis of legal spaces, 4.2. producing legal spaces and geovisualization, 4.3. web-based 3d cadastre prototype for geovisualization, 5. discussion, 6. conclusions, author contributions, data availability statement, acknowledgments, conflicts of interest.

Russian forces are currently pursuing two immediate tactical efforts as part of their ongoing offensive operation to seize Pokrovsk — a tactical effort along the Novohrodivka-Hrodivka line east of Pokrovsk to seize Myrnohrad and advance up to Pokrovsk's outskirts, and another tactical effort along the Selydove-Ukrainsk-Hirnyk line southeast of Pokrovsk aimed at widening Russia's salient in the Pokrovsk direction and eliminating vulnerabilities to Ukrainian counterattacks. The Russian military command likely views both of these tactical efforts as desired prerequisites for launching an intensified offensive effort against Pokrovsk itself. Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief General Oleksandr Syrskyi stated on August 29 that the most intense battles in the Pokrovsk direction are ongoing on the eastern outskirts of Hrodivka (east of Pokrovsk), southwest of Hrodivka near Krasnyi Yar, within Novohrodivka (southeast of Pokrovsk), and immediately east of Selydove near Mykhailivka (southeast of Pokrovsk). [1] ISW has observed Russian gains in these areas in recent days, but Russian milbloggers have claimed that Russian forces have made more significant tactical gains in the Pokrovsk direction than what observed visually confirmed evidence currently supports. [2] Russian milbloggers claimed that Russian forces advanced up to the southeastern outskirts of Myrnohrad (immediately east of Pokrovsk) and have begun small arms battles with Ukrainian forces in the town, although a Ukrainian military observer described the Russian forces operating in the town as sabotage and reconnaissance groups. [3] Russian milbloggers claimed that Russian forces have advanced in much of eastern Selydove and have reached the center of the town. [4] Russian milbloggers also claimed that Russian forces are fighting on the northeastern outskirts of Ukrainsk (southeast of Pokrovsk), seized Memryk (immediately northeast of Ukrainsk), and entered Halitsynivka (immediately east of Ukrainsk). [5]

Russian forces appear to be attempting to maintain their rate of advance along the Novohrodivka-Hrodivka line to quickly seize Myrnohrad and reach the outskirts of Pokrovsk . The reported Russian advance from Novohrodivka to Myrnohrad's outskirts likely aims to bypass what Russian sources have characterized as major Ukrainian defensive positions northwest and west of Hrodivka. [6] Russian forces recently enveloped Ukrainian positions southeast of Pokrovsk along the Karlivske Reservoir and prompted Ukrainian forces to withdraw from limited positions in the area. [7] Russian forces likely hope to achieve a similar effect by trying to envelop Ukrainian positions between Myrnohrad and Hrodivka, although it remains unclear if Russian forces can maintain their relatively rapid rate of advance through the comparatively larger town of Myrnohrad and its surroundings. Russian forces may attempt to fight directly through Ukrainian defensive positions along the Novohrodivka-Hrodivka line, despite the higher costs, in order to maintain their rate of advance and try to seize Myrnohrad more quickly. Russian efforts to seize Myrnohrad do not preclude Russian forces from advancing up to the eastern outskirts of Pokrovsk, and the Russian military will likely pursue these tactical goals in tandem.

Reported Russian advances into Selydove and in the direction of Ukrainsk and Hirnyk likely aim to eliminate a relatively large Ukrainian salient on the southern edge of the wider Russian salient in the Pokrovsk direction that could threaten Russia's offensive effort in the area . Ukrainian positions east of the Selydove-Ukrainsk-Hirnyk line offer Ukrainian forces opportunities to threaten the Russian rear in the Pokrovsk direction, and the Russian military command is likely concerned about Ukrainian counterattacks and fires disrupting Russian offensive efforts as Russian forces deploy logistics, artillery elements, and force concentrations westward into the forward part of the salient to support the intensified effort on Pokrovsk itself. The Russian military command also likely aims to expand and stabilize the southern flank of the Russian salient in the area in order to prevent Ukrainian forces from threatening the gains Russia has made in its 2024 offensive effort once Russian offensive operations in the Pokrovsk direction culminate. [8] The Russian salient is roughly 21 kilometers wide at its base from the Ukrainian salient east of the Selydove-Ukrainsk-Hirnyk line to Ukrainian positions north of Avdiivka along the H-20 (Avdiivka-Kostyantynivka) highway. Russian positions along the E-50 (Donetsk City-Pokrovsk) highway southwest of Avdiivka are roughly 13 kilometers from Avdiivka, whereas the current line of Russian advance along the Novohrodivka-Hrodivka line is 30 kilometers from Avdiivka. Significant Ukrainian counterattacks from the base of the salient towards Avdiivka could threaten to encircle the Russian force grouping deployed forward in the salient, and the Russian military command likely aims to preempt this possibility by eliminating the Ukrainian salient on the southern flank of the Pokrovsk direction.

Russian forces likely hope that advances in the direction of Ukrainsk and Hirnyk will mutually support ongoing offensive operations west of Donetsk City and that offensive pressure from both directions will overwhelm Ukrainian forces or prompt Ukraine to withdraw from the limited positions in the rural open areas east of Ukrainsk and Hirnyk. The area north of Krasnohorivka (west of Donetsk City) is mainly comprised of open fields with limited cover or concealment from relatively few windbreaks, and Russian advances through this terrain would likely require significant successful mechanized assaults, which Russian forces have routinely struggled to conduct. [9] Russian forces have proven more adept at advancing from settlement to settlement with small infantry groups in the Pokrovsk direction, although it remains to be seen if Russian infantry groups can maintain their rate of advance as they approach Ukrainsk and Hirnyk. [10]

The Russian military command likely aims to achieve both of these tactical efforts before launching the more resource-intensive effort to seize Pokrovsk itself, although Russian forces may begin urban combat in Pokrovsk regardless, if progress stalls on these preparatory efforts. It remains unclear if the Russian military command intends for Russian forces to fight their way entirely through Pokrovsk in frontal urban combat, as they have through the smaller towns east and southeast of Pokrovsk, or aims to envelop or encircle the city as Russian forces previously attempted and failed to do against Bakhmut and Avdiivka. [11] The Russian military command's calculus about what preparatory actions are required for launching offensive operations on the city of Pokrovsk and how Russian forces will attempt to seize the city will likely depend on where Ukrainian forces decide to engage in significant defensive efforts. ISW will not speculate or forecast about future Ukrainian defensive efforts, however.

Russian authorities are creating new volunteer territorial defense units in response to the Ukrainian incursion into Kursk Oblast, highlighting Russian President Vladimir Putin's unwillingness to counter the incursion more seriously with a mobilization due to the risks of societal discontent or with large-scale redeployments due to possible disruptions to Russia's ongoing offensive operations in eastern Ukraine. Acting Kursk Oblast Governor Alexei Smirnov publicly announced on August 29 the creation of the "BARS-Kursk" volunteer detachment and stated that the detachment's main function will be to "ensure security" in Kursk Oblast during the incursion and the re-settlement of border settlements in Kursk Oblast at an unspecified later date. [12] Smirnov stated that the detachment will cooperate with the Russian military and the counterterrorism operational headquarters — which are overseeing the ongoing Russian response in Kursk Oblast — and will also provide humanitarian support for residents of border settlements. Smirnov stated that volunteers will sign six-month contracts, undergo training, and receive any "necessary" weapons to perform their duties. Kursk Oblast officials published a recruitment ad for the detachment on August 24. [13] Ukrainian Kharkiv Group of Forces Spokesperson Colonel Vitaly Sarantsev reported that Russian authorities are also forming "BARS-Bryansk" and "BARS-Belgorod" detachments and that the three detachments will support the Russian Northern Grouping of Forces. [14] Sarantsev estimated that the three detachments will be comprised of 4,921 volunteers in total.

The formation of these new BARS (Russian Army Combat Reserve) volunteer detachments is consistent with the Kremlin's apparent strategy to avoid re-deploying experienced or combat effective units engaged in fighting in the Pokrovsk or Toretsk directions to Kursk Oblast due to concerns about slowing the tempo of Russian offensive operations in these higher priority directions. ISW previously noted that the Kremlin appears to be largely relying on conscripts and irregular forces redeployed from lower-priority directions in Ukraine to defend against the Ukrainian incursion into Kursk Oblast. [15] Putin indicated a possible desire to continue relying on Russian volunteer servicemembers ( dobrovoltsy ) to address the Ukrainian incursion during his August 12 meeting with Russian military, security, and civilian officials by alluding to increased willingness to sign military service contracts among prospective dobrovoltsy . [16] Putin has consistently relied on volunteer and irregular formations to alleviate Russia's manpower constraints during the war and has avoided declaring general mobilization or another round of partial mobilization, both of which would be incredibly unpopular among Russian society. [17] Putin almost certainly remains extremely averse to declaring general mobilization and will likely continue to rely on irregular formations to address the ongoing Ukrainian incursion into Kursk Oblast until Russian offensive operations culminate in eastern Ukraine — at which point Putin may consider re-deploying more combat effective Russian forces from these directions to push Ukrainian units back across the border.

Ukrainian forces recently marginally advanced north of Sudzha as Russian forces recaptured some areas of Kursk Oblast on August 29. Geolocated footage published on August 29 shows that Ukrainian forces have reached Nizhnyaya Parovaya (north of Sudzha) and advanced into the northwestern part of the settlement. [18] Additional geolocated footage published on August 29 shows that Russian forces have likely recaptured Ulanok (southeast of Sudzha) and eastern Korenevo. [19] Ukrainian forces continued attacking near Korenevo, Komarovka (southwest of Korenevo), Kremyanoye (east of Korenevo), Lyubimovka (southeast of Korenevo), Leonidovka (northwest of Sudzha), Malaya Loknya and Russkoye Porechnoye (both north of Sudzha), Martynovka (northeast of Sudzha), and within Borki (southeast of Sudzha). [20] Russian sources claimed that Ukrainian forces are continuing to storm Korenevo to try to create a route to Rylsk (northwest of Korenevo). [21] Elements of the Russian "Kaskad" Operational Combat Tactical Formation (formerly of the Donetsk People's Republic [DNR] Ministry of Internal Affairs [MVD], reportedly since subordinated to Rosgvardia) are reportedly fighting near Korenevo, though the Russian military command reportedly previously dissolved the formation. [22]

The Ukrainian General Staff reported on August 29 that a Ukrainian F-16 fighter jet recently crashed while defending against a large-scale Russian drone and missile strike. [23] An unnamed US official told Western media on August 29 that the jet crashed on August 26, and the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense (MoD) appointed a special commission to determine the cause of the crash. [24] The loss of equipment and aircraft during combat operations is not particularly novel, and it is expected that Ukraine will lose some Western-provided military equipment during combat. However, any loss among Ukraine's already limited allotment of Western-provided F-16s and trained pilots will have an outsized impact on Ukraine's ability to operate F-16s in the near term as part of its combined air defense umbrella or in an air-to-ground support role.

Russian authorities arrested and charged former Russian Deputy Defense Minister Army General Pavel Popov with large-scale fraud on August 29. The Russian Investigative Committee charged Popov with embezzling money meant for the maintenance of the Russian Ministry of Defense's (MoD) Patriot Park, a Russian military exhibition in Moscow. [25] Russian authorities did not disclose how much money Popov is suspected of embezzling personally but noted his case is connected to the large-scale fraud cases of the Patriot Park Head Vyacheslav Akhmedov and MoD Directorate for Innovative Development Deputy Head Major General Vladimir Shesterov, whom Russian authorities arrested on August 5 for embezzling over 40 million rubles (roughly $471,000). [26] Russian state news outlet TASS reported, citing Russian law enforcement sources, that Akhmedov testified against Popov. [27] A Russian source that has previously correctly preemptively reported several command changes within the Russian MoD assessed on August 5 that Popov could be the next high-ranking MoD official to be arrested. [28] Russian sources have previously theorized that the arrests of high-ranking MoD officials who served under former Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu may be part of an effort to "clean house" of Shoigu's affiliates within the MoD, which the sources claimed indicates that Shoigu's influence within the Kremlin may be declining. [29]

Russian President Vladimir Putin will conduct an official visit to Mongolia despite Mongolia's status as a signatory to the Rome Statue and Mongolia’s legal obligation to enforce an arrest warrant for Putin from the International Criminal Court (ICC). The Kremlin press service announced on August 29 that Putin will travel to Mongolia on September 3, marking his first visit to a state party to the Rome Statute since the ICC issued the arrest warrant in March 2023 for Putin's role in the illegal deportation of Ukrainian children to Russia. [30] Putin notably avoided traveling to South Africa for a BRICS summit in August 2023 on similar grounds. [31] Putin's upcoming visit to Mongolia for negotiations on a "strategic partnership" suggests that Mongolian authorities likely will not enforce the ICC arrest warrant. [32] This visit also follows the annual “Selenga” bilateral Russian–Mongolian military exercises which began on August 15, further highlighting the strong bilateral relations between the two countries. [33] Russia has previously stated that it does not recognize the ICC's jurisdiction, and Russian officials have not yet commented on the possibility of Putin’s arrest in Mongolia. [34]

The Ukrainian General Staff confirmed on August 29 that Ukrainian forces struck the Atlas Oil Refinery in Rostov Oblast and the Zenit Oil Depot in Kirov Oblast on the night of August 27 to 28. [35] The Ukrainian General Staff reported that members of Ukraine's Special Operations Forces, Ukraine's Main Military Intelligence Directorate (GUR), and Ukrainian forces struck the Atlas Oil Refinery, causing a fire at the refinery's vertical reservoirs. The Ukrainian General Staff also reported that Ukrainian forces also struck the Zenit Oil Depot and a field artillery warehouse of the Russian Western Grouping of Forces in Voronezh Oblast and are clarifying the effect of these strikes. Russian and Ukrainian sources stated on August 28 that Ukrainian forces struck targets in Rostov, Kirov, and Voronezh oblasts. [36]

We do not report in detail on Russian war crimes because these activities are well-covered in Western media and do not directly affect the military operations we are assessing and forecasting. We will continue to evaluate and report on the effects of these criminal activities on the Ukrainian military and the Ukrainian population and specifically on combat in Ukrainian urban areas. We utterly condemn Russian violations of the laws of armed conflict and the Geneva Conventions and crimes against humanity even though we do not describe them in these reports.

Russian Main Effort – Eastern Ukraine

Russian Subordinate Main Effort #1 – Kharkiv Oblast ( Russian objective: Push Ukrainian forces back from the international border with Belgorod Oblast and approach to within tube artillery range of Kharkiv City)

Fighting continued north of Kharkiv City near Lyptsi and Hlyboke and northeast of Kharkiv City in Vovchansk on August 29, but there were no confirmed changes to the frontline. [37] The spokesperson of a Ukrainian brigade operating in the Kharkiv direction stated that Russian forces operating in this direction are conducting assaults without armored vehicle support. [38] Ukrainian Kharkiv Group of Forces Spokesperson Colonel Vitaly Sarantsev stated that the tempo of Russian offensive operations near Starytsya (northeast of Kharkiv City) is decreasing and that Russian forces are beginning to transition to defensive operations in the area but are still pressuring Ukrainian forces elsewhere on this front. [39] The Ukrainian Kharkiv Group of Forces reported that elements of the Russian 7th Motorized Rifle Regiment (11th Army Corps [AC], Leningrad Military District [LMD]) are operating near Lukyantsi (north of Kharkiv City), and that elements of the Russian 136th Motorized Rifle Brigade (58th Combined Arms Army [CAA], Southern Military District [SMD]) continued conducting a relief in place for elements of the 83rd Airborne (VDV) Brigade near Tykhe (northeast of Kharkiv City and east of Vovchansk). [40]

Russian Subordinate Main Effort #2 – Luhansk Oblast (Russian objective: Capture the remainder of Luhansk Oblast and push westward into eastern Kharkiv Oblast and northern Donetsk Oblast)

Russian forces recently advanced northeast of Kupyansk and reportedly seized Synkivka (northeast of Kupyansk) amid continued fighting along the Kupyansk-Svatove-Kreminna line on August 29. Geolocated footage published on August 29 indicates that Russian forces advanced in central Synkivka. [41] Russian sources claimed that Russian forces seized Synkivka, and the Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) claimed that Russian forces seized Stelmakhivka (southeast of Kupyansk). [42] A Kremlin-affiliated Russian milblogger also claimed that Russian forces advanced southeast of Kupyansk near Pishchane and Tabaivka. [43] ISW has not observed confirmation of these claims, however. Fighting continued near Synkivka; southeast of Kupyansk near Stelmakhivka, Stepova Novoselivka, Kolisnykivka, and Kruhlyakivka and towards Lozova; west of Svatove near Myasozharivka; southwest of Svatove near Tverdokhlibove and towards Cherneshchyna and Druzhelyubivka; northwest of Kreminna near Novosadove, Novoyehorivka, Hrekivka, Nevske, and Makiivka; west of Kreminna near Torske; and south of Kreminna near the Serebryanske forest area on August 28 and 29. [44] A Ukrainian officer operating in the Lyman direction reported that Russian forces are attacking daily in small squad-sized assault groups of two to four people and have recently been using equipment after not using equipment for an unspecified amount of time. [45]

Russian Subordinate Main Effort #3 – Donetsk Oblast (Russian objective: Capture the entirety of Donetsk Oblast, the claimed territory of Russia’s proxies in Donbas)

Russian forces continued offensive operations northeast of Siversk near Bilohorivka, east of Siversk near Verkhnokamyanske, and southeast of Siversk near Vyimka and Spirne on August 28 and 29, but there were no changes to the frontline. [46]

Russian forces continued offensive operations near Chasiv Yar; north of Chasiv Yar near Hryhorivka; east of Chasiv Yar near Ivanivske; and southeast of Chasiv Yar near Klishchiivka, Andriivka, and Bila Hora on August 28 and 29. [47] Elements of the Russian Sever-V Brigade (Russian Volunteer Corps) are reportedly operating near Hryhorivka. [48]

Russian forces recently advanced east of Toretsk and reportedly advanced further within eastern Toretsk on August 29. Geolocated footage published on August 28 indicates that Russian forces recently advanced along Chapaieva Street in northwestern Druzhba (east of Toretsk). [49] Russian milbloggers claimed that Russian forces advanced up to 500 meters in eastern Toretsk on August 29, although ISW has not observed confirmation of this claim. [50] Russian forces continued offensive operations near Toretsk, east of Toretsk near Pivnichne and Druzhba, south of Toretsk near Niu York and Nelipivka, and southwest of Toretsk near Sukha Balka on August 28 and 29. [51]

Russian forces recently advanced east and southeast of Pokrovsk and continued offensive operations in the Pokrovsk direction on August 29. Geolocated footage published on August 29 indicates that Russian forces advanced to a windbreak northwest of Svyrydonivka (east of Pokrovsk), northwards in fields east of Hordivka (east of Pokrovsk), up to the Novohrodivska Mine No. 1/3 in northwestern Novohrodivka (southeast of Pokrovsk), and westward up to the Rosiia Mine slag heap north of Mykhailivka (southeast of Pokrovsk). [52] A Russian milblogger claimed that Russian forces advanced further within northwestern Novohrodivka, although ISW has not observed confirmation of this claim. [53] Russian forces continued offensive operations east of Pokrovsk near Vozdvyzhenka, Zelene Pole, Myrolubivka, and Hrodivka and southeast of Pokrovsk near Novohrodivka, Marynivka, Mykhailivka, Selydove, Karlivka, Halitsynivka, and Ukrainsk on August 28 and 29. [54]

Russian forces continued offensive operations west of Donetsk City near Heorhiivka and Krasnohorivka on August 29, but did not make any confirmed gains. [55] Elements of the Russian 5th Motorized Rifle Brigade (1st Donetsk People's Republic [DNR] Army Corps [AC]) and 238th Artillery Brigade (8th Combined Arms Army [CAA], Southern Military District [SMD]) are reportedly operating near Krasnohorivka. [56]

Russian forces recently advanced southwest of Donetsk City and continued offensive operations in the area on August 29. Geolocated footage published on August 28 indicates that Russian forces recently advanced in fields south of Pobieda. [57] Russian milbloggers claimed that Russian forces advanced northward past the T-05-09 highway west of Pavlivka and advanced along a front up to 2.5 kilometers wide and a kilometer deep northeast of Vuhledar. [58] ISW has not observed confirmation of these claims, however. Russian forces continued offensive operations near Kostyantynivka, Vodyane, and Vuhledar on August 29. [59]

Russian and Ukrainian forces did not report fighting in the Donetsk-Zaporizhia Oblast border area on August 29.

Russian Supporting Effort – Southern Axis (Russian objective: Maintain frontline positions and secure rear areas against Ukrainian strikes)

A Russian milblogger claimed on August 29 that positional fighting continued in western Zaporizhia Oblast on August 29. [60] Another Russian milblogger claimed on August 29 that elements of the Russian 70th and 71st motorized rifle regiments (both of the (42nd Motorized Rifle Division, 58th Combined Arms Army [CAA], Southern Military District [SMD]) advanced north and east of Robotyne, although ISW has not observed confirmation of this claim. [61] The Ukrainian General Staff reported that Russian forces attacked in Robotyne, north of Robotyne near Novodanylivka, and northeast of Robotyne near Mala Tokmachka on August 28 and 29. [62]

Sevastopol occupation head Mikhail Razvozhaev claimed on August 29 that Russian forces repelled a Ukrainian aerial and naval drone strike on Sevastopol and destroyed four aerial drones over the Black Sea and three naval drones in the area. [63] ISW has not observed additional evidence confirming this claim.

Russian Air, Missile, and Drone Campaign (Russian Objective: Target Ukrainian military and civilian infrastructure in the rear and on the frontline)

Russian forces conducted a large series of drone and missile strikes against Ukraine on the night of August 28 to 29. Ukrainian Air Force Commander Lieutenant General Mykola Oleshchuk reported on August 29 that Russian forces launched three Kh-59/69 cruise missiles and two missiles of an unspecified type from airspace over Kursk and Belgorod oblasts and 74 Shahed-136/131 drones from Primorsk-Akhtarsk and Yeysk, Krasnodar Krai and Kursk Oblast. [64] Oleshchuk reported that Ukranian forces downed two Kh-59/69 missiles and 60 Shahed drones over Kharkiv, Cherkasy, Kirovohrad, Kyiv, Poltava, Dnipropetrovsk, Kherson, Sumy, and Donetsk oblasts and that the other 14 drones did not strike their intended targets.

Russian Mobilization and Force Generation Efforts (Russian objective: Expand combat power without conducting general mobilization)

The Russian government continues to expand pathways for accused criminals to sign military service contracts. Kremlin newswire TASS reported on August 29 that a group of State Duma deputies submitted a bill proposing to allow accused criminals to sign military service contracts during mobilization, martial law, and wartime. [65] Russian State Duma State Building and Legislation Committee Head Pavel Krasheninnikov and Defense Committee Head Andrei Kartapolov and Russian Federation Council Constitutional Legislation and State Building Committee Head Andrei Klishas authored the bill and noted that the bill does not apply to criminals accused of violence against minors. The author's explanatory note states that the bill also allows for people with a criminal record, who have previously been imprisoned, or who have expunged criminal records to sign military service contracts. It is unclear how the proposed process is legally different from the current mechanisms through which Russia has had convict recruits sign military contracts, although the new law may no longer require the immediate pardons that the Kremlin appeared to be offering convicts in exchange for signing contracts. [66] Russian authorities have previously relied on penal and convict recruits to supplant Russia's manpower needs in Ukraine. [67]

Kremlin officials continue to project confidence about the state of Russia's domestic drone production capabilities. Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitri Peskov claimed on August 29 that Russia is developing its high-tech industry and that Russian drone production industry is moving towards using a higher percentage of import-substituted component parts and machine building equipment. [68] Russia has previously relied on the People's Republic of China (PRC) to evade sanctions and offset limitations in its domestic technology and production capacities, particularly regarding drones, and the PRC is set to limit the export of an unspecified number of radio and drone production components to Russia beginning on September 1. [69]

Russian Technological Adaptations (Russian objective: Introduce technological innovations to optimize systems for use in Ukraine)

Nothing significant to report.

Ukrainian Defense Industrial Efforts (Ukrainian objective: Develop its defense industrial base to become more self-sufficient in cooperation with US, European, and international partners)

ISW is suspending publishing coverage of Ukrainian defense industrial efforts until further notice.

Activities in Russian-occupied areas (Russian objective: Consolidate administrative control of annexed areas; forcibly integrate Ukrainian citizens into Russian sociocultural, economic, military, and governance systems)

ISW is not publishing coverage of activities in Russian-occupied areas today.

Russian officials recently intensified existing narratives attempting to deter the West from providing further military assistance to Ukraine and prevent the West from lifting restrictions on Ukraine's use of Western-provided weapons against military targets in Russia. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) Spokesperson Maria Zakharova, and First Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN Dmitri Polyansky recently doubled down on narratives accusing Ukraine and the West of escalating the war in Ukraine, spoiling peace negotiations, and permitting alleged Ukrainian war crimes in Kursk Oblast. [70] The Kremlin has routinely intensified these information operations during critical moments in Western policy discussions regarding support for Ukraine and is likely doing so now as part of its ongoing reflexive control campaign to coerce Western decision-makers into making policy decisions favorable to Russia. [71]

Significant activity in Belarus (Russian efforts to increase its military presence in Belarus and further integrate Belarus into Russian-favorable frameworks and Wagner Group activity in Belarus)

Ukraine's State Border Service Spokesperson Andriy Demchenko reported on August 29 that Ukrainian forces have not recorded any significant movement or increase of Belarusian forces near the Ukrainian border. Demchenko stated that Ukrainian forces are actively monitoring the state border with Belarus and are prepared to respond to any change in the situation. [72] Demchenko also stated that Ukrainian forces have erected engineering fortifications along the border to protect against possible Belarusian shelling and support defensive operations against a possible Belarusian attack into Ukraine. [73] ISW has previously assessed that a Belarusian invasion of Ukraine is unlikely due to Belarusian forces’ limited capabilities, low readiness, and the implications that such an incursion would have for Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko’s regime domestically. [74]

Independent Belarusian monitoring group the Hajun Project reported on August 28 that Belarusian forces used a fixed wing aircraft to shoot down a Russian Shahed-136/131 drone that violated Belarusian airspace amid a large-scale Russian strike on Ukraine on the night of August 28 to 29. [75] Belarusian forces reportedly shot down the drone over Yelsk Raion, Gomel Oblast (which shares a border with northern Ukraine).
