A programme you can argue with before work starts
Own crews rather than four layers of subcontract, a week-by-week programme issued with the tender, and a safety plan on site before the first delivery.
What we build
Four kinds of job. Anything outside them is a tender we decline rather than one we learn on.
RCC frames
Up to fourteen floors with our own shuttering and steel-fixing crews. The commonest job and the one the whole business is organised around.
Industrial sheds
Foundations, plinth and floor to a specified flatness, with the PEB erection coordinated rather than subcontracted blind.
Retrofit and strengthening
Jacketing, plate bonding and micro-piling on occupied buildings. Slower, noisier and priced accordingly rather than quoted as though it were new-build.
Interior civil
Fit-out civil for offices already handed over. Small tickets we take because the same crews are already in Sector V.
How a job is sequenced
Five steps, and the programme in step two is a document you can mark up rather than a bar chart nobody reads.
Site walk, before the price
Access, storage, working hours and what the neighbours will tolerate. Half of what makes a job expensive is decided here and none of it is on the drawing.
Programme with the tender
Week by week, naming which trade is on site each week and what has to be finished before it arrives. Issued WITH the price, so you can argue with the sequence rather than only the number.
Safety plan before mobilisation
Written, specific to the site and issued before the first delivery rather than pinned up in month two. It names the person responsible, and that person is on site.
Weekly measure
Joint measurement every Friday against the programme. A variation is raised in the week it happens, not accumulated into a claim at the end.
Handover with the as-builts
Drawings updated to what was actually built, not to what was drawn. The difference matters the first time somebody drills a wall.
Crews and plant
Counted from the muster roll and the plant register — never a safety statistic, which is a claim an audit settles rather than a page.
On one job, from the client side
A project manager on a fourteen-floor frame in Rajarhat.
The programme came with the tender and we marked it up before signing. Two of our changes went in and one was refused with a reason — which is the first time in nine years a contractor has argued back at the tender stage rather than at the claim stage.
Send the drawings and the site address
We walk the site before pricing it. If the access or the working hours make the job one we would do badly, that is what the reply says.
