3. Assets Required

Before you give the quotation to any client, you need above details as well as some assets required like 
Regular Requirements:Thapi, Ghamela, Sponge, Handgloves, Fawda, plumb bob, line dori, 90 Degree Angle,(Gunya), Bottom Patti, Randa, Patra, Corners(inside and outside), level tube Etc.

4. Rate Analysis.

This is the most important part before bid any contract or give the quotation to any contractor.
After checking of above mentioned detial you need to focus on rate analysis, because in the rate analysis you will analyze the actual cost of work and required material and labour quantity also you will analyze actyal profit of project.

Brick Work Rate analysis is as follows
Quantity : 1 Sqm
Brick Required : 44 Nos X 6.00 : ₹264.00
River Sand : 0.015 Brass X 7500: ₹112.00
Cement : .0.12 Bags X 250 : ₹30.00
Labour : 10.764 Sqft X 15.00 = ₹161.40
Total Amount: ₹ 564.40
Water Charges 1.5% : ₹ 8.50
Electricity Charges 1% : ₹ 5.64
Total : ₹ 578.54
Overheads 5%: ₹ 29.00

Say ₹ 700.00 Sqm.

(This is approximately amount which is helpful to cover all the points in your rate analysis and helpful to keep away from losses).

5. Schedule of work.

This is also important part when gou are working on any project, we need to prepare the schedule before start the work on site , and analysing the progress of work on daily basis, need to do daily profit and loss report, because contractor need to work on it, if found daily loss in a week then need to change the work track, increase the output, daily focus on labour strength, if any decisions pending from cliemt try to solve it immediately because if you doesn't do any thing you need to ready bear the loss. and if you will daily focus on your work you will be immediately gain profit.

If you want to start your carrier with privet job always need to choose a good company with the company should be more than 20 to 30 years old. Turnover should be more than 10 to 100 million per year.

2. Grow the carrier
3. Wealth from job
4. Not shifting to one city to another
5. Promotion as per work
6. Leave policy and HR policy should be good
7. Work in a proper system like ERP Software.

What you see actually when doing privet job.
1. No job Security :
2. Not change to Grow your carrier
3. Not a chance to wealth from job
4. Always Ready to relocate
5. Not promoting time to time
6. Not any leave policy in most of the privet companies.
7. Not work in a proper way, some directors are nontechnical.

In the above differences, how can we work in privet company?

Following points will help to work in privet companies.
1. Stay flexible.
2. Try to create second income source.
3. Try to keep update yourself.
4. Ready to relocate.
5. Stey motivated yourself to work with non technical directors.

If you are not thinking to work in above mentioned situation you have another option of Government job, if you will select in any government department then you will be secured your job as well as you can grow your carrier as per government norms.

2. Government Job.

Most of people's in all countries want to do goverment job because this job is secured and growth is confirm.
But nothing is easy in the world, you need to do hardwork to get the government job, now a days there is lot of challenges, you need to good score in Exams which is arrenged by Government perticular department currently Public Service Commission (..PSC) is hiring candidates for State government department and Union Public Seevice Commission.
State government exam is easier than central government exam but for exam you need to prepare yourself, lot of classes are available in market but you need to stay focused on your goal. In current situation of india for 10 Nos of Vacancy near about 1,00,000 applications are received, so think about UPSC.

In those sectors those are bifurgated by various department Administration, Engineering, Medical, Etc. You are civil engineer so you need to try from Engineering Services exams. In Engineering services challenge is same but easy to study because it's from your proffesion.

And If you are not capable to do it, then another way is open to build your carrier as a BUSINESSMEN  as a Contractor or As a Builder.

3. Business.

If you have decided to do the business in construction industry you have 2 options Builder and Contractor.
Builder: To start the builder firm you need to big investment to start the project, but priffit ration is too high, its arround more than 50%, but now a days lot of legal restrictions coming from governments due to some fraud builders, if you want to become a good builder then need to build a good organization with experienced staff and ability to deliver the project within time with complete all legal points.
Also you need to increase your brand value in market for new projects.

Contractor: If you don't have enough capital to become a builder then you can build your business as a contractor in this contractorship you can choose your any exert points like RCC, BBM, Gypsum, Plstering, Flooring, Earthwork, Aluminium Work, Fabrication, Infrastructure work, Fire, Solar, STP, Swimming Pool, Rebarring, quality lab, etc Services.

As a contractor you can set up a good business with your hard work and efforts, but your business should be always update and complete all the requirements of your client, When you will start the contractorship you need minimum capital and proffit is not as much like Builder but you can earn good profit.

HARDWORK MATTERS

Civil Engineer: RCC Contractor Business

Civil Engineer: RCC Contractor Business

                   As per committed in the last blog we are going to discuss RCC Contractor Business in Construction Industry.
                  Now in Current situation, there are a lot of contractors are present and active in the market. But in this such competition how you can start your business with minimum investment. Follow some tip's to start your business with minimum investment.

1. Work on Labour basis.

Firstly you need to start your work on labor basis only, do not try to take many risks without experience, with labor basis work up to 1 lac Sq ft. In this work you need minimum investment also you can earn a good profit if you complete your work within time.

2. Track Each Labour per day Output.

After starting a project with labour work you need to put proper labour strength, suppose you are doing 1 lac sq ft work and each slab is 10000 Sq ft, then you need to arrange sufficient labour's. And also track his daily output. 

PRODUCTIVITY= OUTPUT/INPUT

We can be defined by another way like

Labour Productivity: output/No. Of Labour's./Labour Cost

Or
Labour Productivity= Output/ Work hour. 

3. Training To Labour

To improve the productivity of labor you can be arrange training for all labour's, you can arrange it on your own with the projector or by other agencies. By giving the training to labour your labor output will be increased by 4-5 %, and you can work smoothly with safety, quality, and speed.

4. Arrange the Assets

After your work is going smoothly now you can start arrangements of your assets like Concrete Mixer, Needle, and Vibrator, Lift Machine, Shuttering Plywoods, MS Props, wooden Props, Centring plates, etc. Which is very useful to start the new project.

At least arrange the following material.

1. Shuttering Plywood Material: 10000 Sqft. With 200 props.
2. Needle and Vibrator: 2 Nos

For arrange this material you need at least 4 lacs rupees. You can hire other ms material at the time of Slab shuttering and concreting.

5. Shuttering, Reinforcement and Concreting is the backbone.

Always keep in mind is you are only RCC Contractor you are expert in it, if you are trying to start another work without experience it may be facing huge losses, so keep the focus on RCC Work only.

Need to work on the following points.
1. Shuttering Design:
Shuttering design is very important when you are starting with RCC contractor company. It is a matter in your company profit and loss. If you are not expert in shuttering design you need to hire a consultant or experienced staff. For the preparation of shuttering design you need Project planning, and all project drawings,  after this design you will know about How many repetitions we can do?
How many shuttering materials you required and it's schedule.

2. Steel cutting as per bar length:
With the study of steel reinforcement as per drawing, you can control 1% steel when giving steel cutting length to the fitter.
3. Concreting with proper mix design:
In the world at many places concreting still doing by manually and not following a standard process, due to that life of concrete will reduce from 60 years to 30 years. In Mumbai, a lot of buildings are damaged in just 30 years.
So, strictly using weight more batch, or 3 bags automatic mixer or RMC which is a very good solution to keep maintain concrete quality.

6. Make Actual Rate Analysis:

Please make At actual rate analysis of RCC with material contracting before giving the quotation to any client. you need to take ground-level rates for analysis. also, work on extra overheads and extra labor requirements other than contracts. 

Following Points to add in Rate analysis.

1. Cement Constant ( M 25) 6 bags /Cubic Meter.

2. Crush Sand : 0.16 brass/ Cubic meter

3. 20 mm Metal: 0.30 Brass/Cubic Meter.

4. Admixtures : 150 ml/Bag

5. Concreting Labours: Rate/Sq ft

6. Carpenters:  Rate/ Sq ft

7. Fitters : Rate/ Sq ft 

8. Shuttering Material Cost: Rate/ Sq ft

9. Electricity Charges

10. Water Charges

11. Transportation

12. Shifting of Material

13. Petrol Oil and Lubricants (POL)

14. Overheads

After Calculation of all above Amount, you need to add your profit and submit the Quotation. 

6. Try to work with Material.

When you are starting your business with only labor, you will get a lot of experience regarding loss and profit on the basis of previous experience you know the profit percentage, but in only labor work you will no work security, because some labour gangs are not reliable due to those labour your work will be in trouble but in with material contract you are secured about it because you can divide the work and arrange another labour force when project become slow.
With material work, contract profit ratio is more than only labour base contract.

6. Make Company Profile

After Completing 3 to 4 Projects you need to make your company profile with mention your existing and ongoing projects and equipment and labour strength. Also, mention your existing client list.

7. Try to Bid in big contracts

After successful completion of 3 to 4 Project you need to change your track, One team will keep on an existing platform, and need to start the bidding with new projects, Don't depend on work surety on 1st bidding, try it up to when your name will know everyone. After bidding of 10 projects, 1 project will be definitely awarded to you. Its ratio is as follows.

Number of Projects you Bid: 10 Nos.
Inquiry from the client : 4 Nos
Interested : 3 Nos
Work Award: 1nos

Actually, a lot of companies want to do existing companies, and a lot of contractors have their own "SETTING" with the architect or Client.

 

8. Present your work with Quality Safety and Speed

Please forget what others are doing you need to focus only on your work you need to satisfy your client with your presentation of work with quality, safety, and speed. 

Please take 100% detailed knowledge about shuttering design and start work on it.

DETAILED KNOWLEDGE OF YOUR FIELD.

you need to know this field detailed knowledge but if are start with basic knowledge it will be very risky to sustain the business. If you are business minded then you need to to all point as well as little things and planning of work, for that you can hire employees, but what about your basic about to gain the experience of such field where ever you can start your business. as per my opinion you need to do job in privet company for just your experience and to gain detailed knowledge of your field.

        If you are plan to build the big organization then you need to spend some money on infrastructure of your company as per rule of MORE PLANNING MORE ACHIEVEMENT you need to Plan everything.

TRY TO STAND WITH INFRASTRUCTURE.

Yes. Infrastructure is most important thing to build the big organization, when you start the planning the infrastructure of your organization will play most important role. If you got any work first You need to hire some employees to complete the project, don't try to do all work you own, circulate responsibilities to all employees, but don't disclose important point to any employee, keep some point secrets from your employees like profit and loss, new tenders information, etc. To focus on buy the required machinery, and shuttering material and MS materials Don't hire such materials because such material have lot of repeat uses so after purchasing the MS Material and machinery you will be free from such tensions. don't waste money on buy the office before you earn the good profit.

KEEP WATCH ON EXPENSES.

Always focus on expenses, plan each and every month expenses details and track it as per actual expenses, there may be some variations due to maintenance of machines and equipment so don't panic about it. You need to keep machines update and keep maintain, Also Keep watch on monthly target and achievement and expenses, Prepare monthly expected expenses to plan the financial management. 

KEEP WATCHING ON REQUIREMENT AND WASTAGE.

In some situation you will face issue of balance unused materials to aware of that you need to watch daily requirements which need to track as per theoretical requirement and actual requirement, but keep 5% wastage in Transportation, Labour handling and as per design wastage. but try to use waste material before place next material.

DELIVER BEST PRODUCT FROM YOU.

    if you got a project as a owner of company you need to stay focused on quality also, because for quality work you doesn't need extra money. you need to just stay focused, don't tolerate about quality, give proper training to your staff and senior employees, they should know to work properly with quality and time, 

      Some employees are not work permanently with your company, but your relation with your client will be keep permanent. so keep focus on that. and completed projects are present your organization status.

MAINTAIN BUSINESS RELATION WITH CLIENT

When you are working with some client you need to keep the business relation with them also you need to sign proper agreement or work order with him, in this agreement or work order mention all terms and condition clearly which is helpful to keep healthy relations with client. always submit proper documentation like RA Bill, Minutes of Meeting, Requirements, Pending Points, and Don't forget to take signature when client changes the decision when visit the site. this will keep clear communication in client and you.
