Plan shelter projects in Ukraine with clearer inputs, budgets and next steps

ShelterMetric is a practical project-intelligence platform for civil protection shelters and bunkers in Ukraine. We help businesses, public institutions, communities and international partners structure projects before design, funding, procurement or implementation.

Project-specific inputsNo invented market averagesProcurement-ready thinkingUkraine-focused context
Project workflow

Move from an idea to an actionable shelter project

ShelterMetric connects planning tools into one workflow so data does not get lost between early scoping, budgeting, financing and procurement.

Visual project intelligence

See the project as a system, not a single shelter product

Visual summaries make it easier to understand where scope and budget differences come from before opening the detailed standards, calculators and procurement pages.

Project anatomyFour layers that change scope and cost

HANDOVER
01
Site

Access, utilities, ground conditions, neighbouring buildings and construction logistics.

02
Protective structure

Regulatory category, capacity, layout, entrances, emergency egress and structural solution.

03
Engineering systems

Ventilation, power, water, sanitation, communications, fire safety and accessibility.

04
Delivery & handover

Design, installation, commissioning, documents, acceptance, warranty and maintenance.

The bar lengths are intentionally categorical, not proportional price comparisons. The examples represent different procurement scopes and should not be averaged into a market price.

Who it is for

Different projects need different starting points

The English section is designed primarily for decision-makers who need to understand, finance, specify or implement a shelter project in Ukraine.

Priority project areas

Go directly to the planning context you need

Sector-specific requirements change the project brief. Standards, real procurement evidence, terminology, funding and procurement also need their own preparation rather than being added at the end.

Standards

DBN and DSTU reference guide

Understand how key Ukrainian building regulations and national standards such as DBN V.2.2-5:2023, DSTU 9195:2022 and DSTU 9329:2025 fit into project and procurement discussions.

Compare

Compare project options on one baseline

Separate regulatory category, construction format and placement before comparing PMU vs PRU, modular vs capital construction or above-ground vs underground options.

Open →
Case studies

Real procurement examples

See why capital construction, multi-lot PMU supply and repair of an existing shelter must be analysed as different project and budget categories rather than one average shelter price.

Open →
Terminology

PRU, SPP, PMU and Ukrainian shelter terms

Understand the Ukrainian regulatory terms that international teams may encounter in project briefs, design documents and procurement materials.

Open →
Education

School shelter projects

Capacity, safe routes, accessibility, group movement, engineering systems and comparable procurement scope.

Open →
Healthcare

Hospital and healthcare shelters

Patient categories, mobility, continuity of care and project-specific engineering requirements.

Open →
Infrastructure

Critical infrastructure projects

A dedicated planning context for essential infrastructure projects that require project-specific technical review.

Open →
Funding

Funding readiness

Turn the project need into a clearer package of source data, budget, financing structure, schedule and procurement readiness.

Open →
Procurement

Technical specification

Make supplier offers comparable by defining structure, engineering, delivery, installation, documentation and acceptance scope.

Open →
Technical tools

Area and capacity calculators

Use both directions of the early sizing workflow: people to preliminary main-room area, or available main-room area to preliminary capacity.

Open →
Project tools

All calculators

Use the shared project passport, technical request, area, capacity, water reserve, budget, funding-readiness and timeline tools in one workflow.

Why start with a project passport

International partners often receive fragmented inputs. We turn them into one project brief.

Capacity, site conditions, project stage, budget, funding, target date and required work should be visible together. That makes technical review, supplier communication and procurement discussions more efficient.

01Facility type and location
02Target capacity and solution
03Budget and funding
04Stage, target date and required scope

The result is a structured starting brief. It does not replace design, but it makes the next technical discussion more specific.

Practical next step

Have a shelter project in Ukraine?

Build a structured passport first, or send the information you already have. The online enquiry stays on ShelterMetric and can include your project brief.
