Our company has been awarded a lucrative contract to construct a

housing colony for an Industrial group to be located in Western Maharashtra

in a costal belt. The housing colony consists of 10 Bungalows for senior

executives, 20 apartments in 5 buildings 100 dwelling for white collar workersand 300 dwellings for blue collared workers. The colony will have market and

entertainment complex.

The primary objective of this assignment is to study possible organization

management and to evolve the structure with the following condit ions:

Organization should be as lean and thin as possible with bare minimumof personnel on company roll up to Junior Engineer level.

All supervisors to down below will be temporary for the project forproject duration only to be recruited locally from 100 km radius.

which is roll ing up to junior engineer level from our company and belowthat to be recruited locally at a radius of 100km.The secondary

objective is to consider all the numerous aspects of a construction

project and assign proper authorities with responsibil it ies, also the

various form of communication control invol ved in the project.

2.KEY STAFF REQUIREMENTSProject Management is the overall planning, execution, co-ordination and

control of a project from inception to completion aimed to meet the Client

requirements in order to produce a functionally and financially viable

project that will be completed on time within allocated cost and with

required quality standards.

In short we can conclude that a successful project should be delivered or

completed on or before the date agreed with the client by expending

budgeted cost with the agreed quality standards.

For better Management & Control of the project we decided to di vide the

overall project to three phases as below:

Phase1 : 10 Bungalows for the senior executives

4. DETAILED PROJECT ORGANIZATION STRUCTUREFor better Management & Control of the project we decided to divide the

overall project to three phases as below:

Phase1 : 10 Bungalows for the senior executives Phase 2 : 20 Apartments in five buildings Phase 3 : 100 Dwellings for the white collar workers Phase 4 : 300 Dwellings for the blue collar workers Phase 5 : Market & Entertainment complex.

The proposed detailed Project Organization Structure to achieve the project deliverables

shall be as follows:

PHASE1 : 10 BUNGALOWS FOR THE SENIOR EXECUTIVESThis phase consists of 10 bungalows for the residences of the senior executives. For

this phase there will be a Project Engineer, a site engineer, 3nos. of Junior engineers, 5 nos.

of Supervisors 5 nos. of Gang leaders.

The project engineer must be a well experienced person having a deep knowledge in

the construction industry. He must take accurate firm decision & command his team

regarding execution process. He must be aware of the quality standards requirements by

the client & interior design patterns for these luxurious executive bungalows. His direct

contact are to the two site engineers who are in charge of these 10 5 bungalows for each

site engineer). They should execute their duties right from the stage of excavation is over;

foundation team has to start their work. After foundation workers are completed, next

sequence team has to be ready with their required materials and manpower.

Materials have to be procured and properly stacked. Site engineers assign duties to

Junior Engineers 5 nos. that is responsible for the bungalows each. There are 5 supervisors

who will be junior engineers in the execution works in time keeping all the quality


14/16

P a g e | 14

standards of the company and the requirements of the client. The finishing & interior

design works of these building have to be carried out under expert supervision.

PHASE 2 : 20 APARTMENTS IN FIVE BUILDINGSThis Phase consists of 20 apartments in five buildings i.e. four apartments in each

building. The earth work excavation of these four building have to be carried out in such a

way that it is in square shape i.e. four buildings in the four corners of a square. The space

in between can be utilized for gardens and play area as per the requirements of the

client.

For the Phase there is a project engineer, two site engineers who are in charge of the

two buildings each. Under him 4 junior engineers will be there who are in charge of each

building. There will be four supervisors who will be assisting him in execution and progress

of the work.

Each building will be single storied building. Two apartments will be on the ground floor

and to apartments will be on the first floor. For notation purpose these four buildings can

be denoted as B1, B2, B3, and B4. For B1 say there will be junior engineer and he will be

reporting to the junior engineer who in turn will schedule the labour allocation as per the

requirements. Project engineer must be aware of the progress and activities that arebeing carried out in the site.

PHASE 3 : 100 DWELL INGS FOR THE WHITE COLLAR WORKERSIt consists of 100 dwellings for white collar workers. This Phase is a typical unit which

consists of a hall, two bed rooms with one attached and other having a common toilet,

dining room, kitchen, and a store room. In this Phase, one project engineer, 5 site

engineers (20 units), 5 junior engineers (20 units), 10 supervisors (10 units). Gang leaders

form labours have to be taken & they must be able to carry out the work in the prescribed

way and wuality. This Phase is mainly meant for the middle class family. The execution

works in this Phase is a time taking procedure so manpower from other Phases 1 & 2 has to

be duly transferred & allocated.

PHASE 4 : 300 DWELLINGS FOR THE BLUE COLLAR WORKERSThis Phase consists of 300 dwellings for blue collar workers. For this Phase, two project

engineers are in charge. Each PE will be in charge of 150 dwellings each.Under each


15/16

P a g e | 15

project engineer, there will be 3 site engineers &5 junior engineers & 5 supervisors. So for

this Phase a total of 2 project engineers, 6site c, 10 junior engineers and 10 supervisors.

It has to be constructed in a fast track manner. More manpower has to be involved in

this Phase whenever manpower and technical person can be spared from each other anPhase that has to be properly utilized in this Phase. This Phase must be sub divided in such

a way that maximum output is achieved with minimum manpower.

PHASE 5 : MARKET & ENTERTAINMENT COMPLEXThis Phase consists of the market and entertainment complexes the construction of

this Phase has to start as soon as possible when the works of other Phases are nearing a

completion stage. The market area also consists of fish market; vegetable market;

butcher shop etc; there are small outlets or grocery shops near to each Phase. These

market areas have to constructed in such a pattern that special provisions has to be

provided for waste removal and sewage flow in closed pipelines. Roads connecting each

market area also have to be constructed.

5. PROJECT ORGANIZATION CHART

6. RECOMMENDATION A study has to be conducted on the living conditions, average monthly salary of a

person who could work for the project below supervisor level, before the recruiting

begins locally. Multitasked worker has to be given preference. These should be themain objective before the local recruiting.
