OPENING THE SITE

Site Mobilization

First Survey – Collect all informationScout Party -

• Establish Base Camp

• Establish Communication

• Give Signal for others to ArriveEstablish Organization for Site Management

First Survey

Before Mobilization of any site – of any size – One should have all relevant Information regarding that Site.

Form No. I) is given as guidelines to Various Information required.Obtain complete details of all suppliers, details of order on them and their contact detailsDecide how you are going to monitor the Project Schedule/Progress

Scout Party to Establish Base Camp

Establish Own OfficeEstablish Communication Channels – Phone / Fax

E mail Courier

Arrange required conveyanceEstablish StoreEstablish Own ResidenceFind out various Statutory Requirements to comply withCarry out Detailed Market SurveyEstablish Labor CampArrange Water / Electricity / Raw Material / Consumables

Give Signal for others to ArriveStaffContractor / LaborsConstruction Equipments

You have now MOBILIZED THE SITE.

3

Inform HO / Client – as usually it is linked to release of Payments

4 - FOUR M (MAN, MATERIAL, MACHINE, MONEY)

What is needed?How much is needed?When is it needed?Where it is available?Who will arrange?What is minimum critical limit required?If made available how much maximum you can utilize effectively?What else will be needed to handle / use / retain / train / service the resources?

Why proper Planning is needed?To avoid uneconomical peaks and valleys.To utilize available resources most effectively.To avoid idling of any resource due to unavailability of any of 4M above.To avoid stoppage of any work due to unavailability of any of 4M.To even out the usage of rare skill and critical equipment.To forecast and arrange supporting Facilities / Material / Training required.

Some tips for Planning of 4M:Man:Sons of SoilAvailability in near by areas.Difficult to removeNeeds Training / SupervisionAt the time of recruitment have proper screening proceduresNeeds Basic Facilities if brought from far off areas.Should know exact requirement of Duration / skill Have some unavoidable nuisance value Rare Skills pose special problems

Material:Divide as Capital Goods, Critical Equipments, Imported Equipments, Long Delivery Items, Bulk Material, Material required for construction, material required for pre-commissioning checks and for Commissioning, locally procured material, CRITICAL MATERIAL REQUIRED DURING CONSTRUCTION.Make requirement planning based on Construction Planning.

4

If you are not arranging Construction Material, ensure that Contractor gives his Material Planning which tallies with your planning.Right from beginning have contact details of all suppliers, transportersArrange for proper Site QC and Quantity Checks for proper control and monitoringIf you expect any OD Equipment, have proper details of equipment and Roads, Bridges, Over Bridges, Transmission Lines, unloading locationsFor any OD equipment, you should have all contact details of respective Police, Traffic Police, Electrical Authorities, Authorities for Roads and Bridges, alternate approaches, Unloading Arrangements,

SITE PURCHASE

HOW PROJECT SITE PURCHASE IS DIFFERENT

All Capital Goods / Plants are usually very long delivery and cost intensive items which need to be ordered much before Site is born

Just in Time concept has less importance especially in India. It changes to NOT AT SITE = NOT AVAILABLE WHEN NEEDED.

For major requirements Project team should decide the Supplier, Rates and Delivery Schedule well in advance, i.e. for items like

o Cemento Steel Sections / Roundso Stone / Sando Construction Equipmentso Cableso Bulk & special Consumables

Major Responsibilities of Site Purchase Team isThose items which are procured in Bulk, is available near site and quantity

is huge e. g. Sand, Bricks, Stone, Diesel etc. for which Transportation is also substantial (some times even water)Emergency Procurement of

Spare PartsConsumablesShort Supplies by Plant/Equipment supplierDamaged Parts

Chasing all suppliersEscorting-when Over Sized Equipment has reached your vicinity Difficulties experienced during site purchases

Requirement is known only at the last momentUnknown marketLack of correct specificationLack of supporting infra structureProcurement Team is always under tremendous pressure as it is they who

are in forefrontQuantity is very less

5

Inexperienced StaffNo familiarity with material to be procuredUsually it is One Time RequirementUsual Suppliers do not care for site manDue to obvious reasons site procurement rate is usually more than what it

is for bulk from HO

How to manage Site PurchaseFix Responsibilities of Procurement correctlyCollect details of material/suppliers well in advanceUnderstand consumption pattern and importance of NON-

AVAILABILITY of that particular material from continuity of work point of view

Have a close control over Min-Ordering–Qty in StoreTake regular feedback from actual consumer regarding availability,

quality and after sales service providedDraw procurement plan in advance in consultation with PM

Total QuantityRequirement ScheduleList out available suppliers and evaluate themNegotiate rate, payment terms and delivery schedule Always have contingency plan ready

MACHINES:We will consider only construction Equipments here.Know Policy of your organization about procurement e.g. Purchase, Hire, Bring from other Site, Hire Purchase or to be arranged by other agency.Need requirement planning to match Project RequirementIf you are not arranging these equipments, then demand your contractor to make and commit one Check its suitability and availability to match site conditionsEnsure Proper Operating and Maintenance Staff.Check for proper experience and Authorization of Operators.Confirm if any Registration is needed with local RTOEnsure that critical spares are maintainedEnsure that Equipment’s Drive matches with available resources e.g. don’t bring Electrically Operated equipment where Electricity is not available, similarly to use Diesel Driven equipment where Sufficient Electrical Power is available, will be a waste.As far as possible bring equipments of same make and model.Keep the information of nearest Service centers and spares’ dealers handy.Try to keep Equipment’s Hand Book and Spares Book handy.Insist for Test Certificates of All Material Handling and Lifting Equipments, Tools & Tackles, Electrical Equipments to be obtained from Competent Authorities.

6

Check for Physical Appearance of All Material Handling and Lifting Equipments, Tools & Tackles, Electrical Equipments. CHECK FOR DRINKING HABITS OF ALL OPERATORS AND ENSURE THAT NO BODY REPORTS ON DUTY IN DRUNK CONDITION.

MONEY:Only thing required from Site Manager is Cash Flow. Usually Corporate Policy Decides Mode of transfer of Funds and Authorization to use and withdraw money.How much and when will be decided to suit Project Execution Planning.As far as possible try to use minimum possible CASH at site. Plan for secured withdrawal and carrying cash to site.If Site and Bank is far apart, and money you handle is large, let proper Agency handle it.Take proper Insurance coverage for Cash Carrying.As far as possible withdraw in smaller amounts.Use Cheques as far as possible for money disbursement. Ensure that your Budget and Requisition is sent in Time.As Site Manager ensure that Site Account is sent in proper format and in time. At times there may be some requirement to spend beyond your authorization. Such situations need to be tackled individually and in accordance with your Corporate Policy.

5 - SITE ORGANIZATION

Requirement of Site Organization 1- Size of Organization should match with Project Requirements like – total value,

duration, Technical complicacy, Various Functional Requirements, Site conditions etc.

2- Requirements and Policies of Parent Organization and Client i.e. Some Organizations Insist on very Elaborate Reporting Systems, for some Account is more important, Some insist on close monitoring of Expenses and Purchases, Some client insist for separate Safety Officer, Engineer QC, Labor Officer etc.

3- No. of workers / contractors4- Build a Team, not rival Groups5- Authorities and Responsibilities should be clearly defined6- Communication Channel should be clearly Defined7- As far as possible work should be divided in such a way that one gets the type of

work he is expert in and has only one Head to report.8- Though work is divided, there should not be a Water Tight Compartment for areas

of work so that there is awareness of work status and requirement to other persons too and each one can contribute in over all Site Working.

9- It should provide effective supervision and Control at all levels.

7

10- There should be smooth and natural Delegation of Power for Harmony & Efficiency.

There can be many types of Site Organizations. Broadly these can be classified as follows: Functional Organization Line OrganizationLine and Staff OrganizationMatrix Organization.

Make one to suit your requirements

Each has its own Advantages and Disadvantages.

YOU HAVE NOW SUPPORTING STAFF, OFFICE AND RESOURCESNote: Make it a Point to get all necessary Personal Details as per form No. from every one, Staff as well every one working for you, directly or indirectly, preferably with a Photo. This comes handy during any eventuality.

7- SITE STORE MANAGEMENT

16

Main Functions of Store1. Receipt of Material2. Verification for Quality and Quantity 3. Record keeping of Receipt, Unloading and Issue4. Safe and proper Storage of material so that any thing is easily retrievable5. To maintain minimum level of inventory if necessary6. Supplier’s Bill Certification7. In case some receipts and issues are debit-able, then make necessary notes8. To comply with various formalities of Excise, Sales Tax / VAT and Road

Permits etc.9. Packing and Transporting - if necessary10. Re-conservation if needed11. Requirements of Insurances and Claims as may be necessary

HOW SITE STORE & MANUFACTURING STORE DIFFERS Types of Material is Different for Project and that for

Manufacturing Repetition is very less Capital Goods form a major part Project Store is Temporary Material Flow/Consumption Pattern is Different. Wastage/Scrap generation is very high Material Codification is less important

Various types of Stores:Bulk Material StoreCapital Equipment StoreElectrical Item StoreStationery StoreConstruction Equipment StoreLiquid / Chemical / Paint StoreMachine Part StoreGas Cylinder StoreSteel Raw Material StoreCovered Store for Cement etc.Consumable StoreScrap Store

Various Records to be maintained by Store:

17

1. Material Entry Register2. Incoming Details’ Record

a. Suppliers’ Invoicesb. Road Permitc. Incoming DCd. Incoming Excise Recordse. Material Rejection Recordf. Suppliers’ Invoices Certificationg. Location Identification of material for very Large Stores

3. GRIN4. Stock Register5. Daily issue Register6. Register of Local Purchase7. Register of Issue / Dispatch8. Local Purchase Register9. Shelf Life / Re-conservation Plan10. Cost Centre/Contractor wise Consumption Register – Item Wise11. Cost Centre/Contractor wise consumption cost register if needed – Item Wise12. Insurance Related Records

Now we can Develop Various Formats. How ever for reference few forms are made available.

LOCATION SELECTION/LAYOUT1. Centrally Located with proper approach2. Enough Covered/Open Space 3. Well Ventilated4. Proper Stacking Arrangements5. Well Segregation of Different Types of Materials to be Stored/Handled6. Safety Precautions

STORE TAKES CARE OF MATERIAL’S RECEIPT, RECORD, STORAGE AND ISSUE. NOW FEW TIPS REGARDING STORE MANAGEMENT:

1. TAKE CARE TO PREVENT a. PHYSICAL DAMAGEb. THEFT / PILFERAGEc. OBSOLESCENCE (SHELF LIFE EXPIRY)d. IDENTITY- LOSS OF MATERIAL

2. SEGREGATE TOTAL STORES ON FOLLOWING LINESa. VOLUME OF MATERIAL

18

b. COSTc. CONSUMPTION PATTERN i.e. FAST MOVING OR SLOW MOVINGd. SUSPTABILITY TO WEATHERe. SUSPTABILITY TO THEFTf. FLAMMABILITYg. EXPLOSIVENESSh. RADIOACTIVITYi. AREA OF CONSUMPTIONj. CRITICALITY FROM WORK CONTINUITY POINT OF VIEW

SOME IMPORTANT TIPS REGARDING SAFETY

1 – Keep First Aid Box at proper place and teach Basic First Aid to every one2 – Keep Adequate numbers of Fire Fighting Equipments and conduct Training Programs3 – Insist for Safety Gadgets i) Safety Shoes

ii) Safety Gogglesiii) Face Maskiv) Safety Belts

v) Safety Helmetsvi) Welding / cutting Hand Glovesvii) Welding Screens

4 – Always keep torches / Emergency lights handy5 – Never allow loose electrical connections6 – Always use Grinding machine Wheel Guards7 – All lifting tackles & Equipments should be certified for Load Bearing Capacity by competent authority at least in the beginning of Site8 – Check License of all drivers / Crane Operators9 – All dangerous openings / working Places should be Barricaded10 – Display all important Contact phone nos. prominently at convenient places.11 – Always insist for Load Chart at the time of hiring any Crane. Never believe on their words.

8 - BILLING

Site Invoicing depends on Type of Project, Price Structure (whether Taxes & Duties are included in price), Supply & working methodology and Payment Terms. It can be classified into following categories:

A- Invoicing for Supplies B- Invoicing for Services / Labor JobsInvoicing for Supplies attracts various taxes and duties where as for Labor Jobs it is Service Tax

Civil works on only - unit labor rate basis – for this site measurement has to be certified at site in MB

19

Civil work including material supply on Total LS Basis – for this work done is to be certified at siteTotal Plant Supply – for this Billing Breakup (based on Mile Stones) is prepared, got approved by client, then Mile Stone Wise Invoicing is doneFor Direct Bought-out some times Sale in Transit is preferred.

Records Needed for Site Billing

Authorization of person concerned Contract Documents

Billing BreakupMeasurement BooksRegistration under appropriate categories of Taxes

Total Payments are usually broken up as follows:Advance with OrderPayment Against submission of DrawingsPayments Against Site MobilizationPayment against material supplyProgressive Pro-rata Payment on completion of part work Payment after work is completePayment after Trials are overPayment after Performance Guarantee Run are accepted

Depending on Size of Project and Policies of Organization first decide whether all Invoicing will be from HO or Site.

Deciding Factors:1. Size of Project2. Value of Project3. Organizational Policies4. Duration of Site Activities5. Payment Terms6. Facilities available at site7. Taxes and Duties8. Payment mode of Client9. Location of Bankers

Some Organizations prefer all Invoicing from HO only where as for some all Supplies are billed from HO and Labor works are invoiced from Site.

20

Requirements for Invoicing:- Appropriate Staff for Measurements Proper Infrastructure for Record Keeping Proper Knowledge about Taxes and Duties Correct understanding about Contract Terms & Conditions

Advantages of HO BillingCentralized RecordingHO gets Automatic confirmation of Progress Better control on over all Cash FlowBetter management of Tax BurdenBetter management of Bank Facilities

Coordination with HO

1 – Communication2 – Reporting

ProgressCommercialRequirements of Material/ResourcesTechnical Clarifications/ModificationsDiscussions/MOM

3 – Movement of Materials4 – Movement of Personnel5 – Movement of Documents 6 – Queries regarding suppliers/contractors & their services

IT SHOULD BE ONE TO ONE COMMUNICATION ONLYThe Project Manager at Site should communicate with one Designated Coordinator in HO and vice versa.

Procedure:1. Make Inward and Outward Register of Documents Flow2. Freeze Style and procedure for giving Reference No. 3. Decide types of various Reports4. Decide Formats of various Reports5. Decide frequency of Reporting6. Decide recipient of reports7. Make Guidelines for Mode of Dispatch of Reports/Documents

In spite of availability of Mobile Phones / e mails, Importance of Records of Dispatch and Receipt is not reduced. On the contrary, some ISO procedures demand serial references of all communications and Proof of Receipt
