ABOUT THE COMPANY AND PROJECT

2.1 ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT
 SEE WILL properties has various departments for the completion of the required
tasks in the effective and systematic manner. It provides the services such as
consultancy, investigation and studies, design specification, construction with
educational program’s as mentioned earlier.
 Consultancy department: It provides services such as design, supervision,
execution, quality management controls, maintenance, specifications and makes
recommendations in the projects and tasks.
 My appointment: In the consultancy department I was deputed under construction
site visit. Technical Staff for observing the construction activities and also training
their works.

2.2 PROJECT SCHEDULING AND TIME MANAGEMENT

Scheduling construction activities involves chronologically distributing tasks over the
available timeframe, determining the resources, durations and procedures necessary to ensure
the works are completed in a way that optimizes cost, timeframe and quality.

The following basic principles must be understood:

 Labour , both in its various categories and as a whole should be as stable as possible,
free of frequent or sudden variations.
 Machinery and additional resources attached to the works should be employed
completely.
 The resulting schedule should be clearly understandable, especially to those involved
in carrying out the construction works.

Department of Civil Engineering, R.I.T, Hassan Page|7

 Internship Report

Time is the basic variable in scheduling construction works. The schedule is used to
determine the optimal order for the execution of activities. It requires a series of basic steps

 Identification of interrelationships between tasks.

 Establishing the optimal duration of these tasks.
 Assigning resources to these tasks and establishing load diagrams.
 Obtaining possible dates for each activity and the critical paths.
 Verification and adjustment of the scheduling.

2.3 TIME MANEGEMENT

Time management is the process of organizing and implementing a strategy related to the time
required for work activities on a project. Effective time management is essential to successfully
and efficiently meeting budget and program targets as well as achieving profitability
Projects can risk incurring unnecessary costs and delays as a result of ineffective time
management, either by failing to allow for the full complexity of a project, or by failing to
effectively manage scheduled work or unexpected events.

On large projects, the client may appoint a program consultant to prepare

a detailed program me for the project including an outline program for construction if
a contractor has not been appointed. Once the contractor is appointed, they will take
responsibility for programming the construction works, but the program consultant may
continue to develop an overall program for the client.

During the planning stage, all work activities should be properly understood,
and planned in detail to optimize the allocation of resources and reduce the potential
for ‘unknowns’. Estimates can then be made of how long each activity will take. This is
critical to the setting of milestones and deadlines, for allocation of resources, and for
determining the pricing of contracts and cash flow requirements.

As well as work packages, time management should also make allowance for activities:

Department of Civil Engineering, R.I.T, Hassan Page|8

 Internship Report

 The interrelationships between tasks.

 Project management administration.
 Liaison with third parties, such as the local authority.
 Client approvals and decision making processes.
 Training.
 Accidents and emergencies.
 Internal and external meetings.
 Holidays and sickness in staff.
 Suppliers and subcontractor activities.
 Equipment breakdowns.
 Missed deliveries by suppliers.
 Interruptions to work progress due to inclement weather.
 Inspections, testing and other forms of quality control.

2.4 PROJECT PROCUREMENT: The project procurement management process helps

ensure that the supplies and goods are ordered and received, and the project is completed. Often,
this process consists of five parts: initiating and planning, selecting, contract writing, monitoring,
and closing and completing,

2.4.1 Initiating and Planning:

The first step, initiating and planning, is deciding which supplies and goods will need to be
obtained from an outside source. Once the project has been decided, a list of supplies needed to
complete the project is created. Once this is done, the company will then specify what criteria the
supplies need to meet, such as timelines and specifications.
For example, if Betty were to complete this first step, she would first create the project, which is
making a new stuffed horse. She would then create a supplies list, which might include stuffing,
glass eyes, yarn, and fabric. Then, she would decide which items the company has or will make
and which ones will need to be ordered and purchased from an outside supplier. In this case,
Super Toyland has stuffing and fabric but needs to use a supplier for glass eyes and yarn. Betty
then needs to specify exactly what kind of eyes, such as size, colour, and quantity, as well as the
timeframe in which she needs them. She will also need to specify the colour, width, and length of
yarn she will need.

Department of Civil Engineering, R.I.T, Hassan Page|9

 Internship Report

2.4.2 Selecting:
Once the supply list has been completed and specifications have been decided, it is time to reach
out to potential vendors and suppliers that can offer the items needed. This is the selecting
process. Selecting can be done with conferences and/or communication with potential suppliers
so they are aware of the needs of the company and are able to answer any questions. Bidders can
then submit their proposals. Because Betty knows she needs glass eyes and yarn, the purchasing
department looks for vendors that offer these supplies. They then decide to invite them to a web
conference so they can explain the specifications, such as colour, quantity, and timeframe. Once
the conferences end, all of the potential vendors are asked to submit a proposal for Super
Toyland to consider.

2.4.3 Contract Writing:

After all of the proposals are considered, vendors are chosen. The process of contract writing
creates a document that outlines all of the conditions of the relationship between the company
and the supplier. This is also the time when a timeframe is negotiated and decided so that the
items are delivered on-time for project completion deadlines.

CHAPTER 4

REFLECTION NOTES
The exposure to the company environment for duration of 4 weeks was a good experience which
helped us to know working environment and exposure to the higher knowledge level in many
different ways. There are several different experiences to students because of internship
depending on the field of working. It is a good experience to learn from each individuals in
different departments of the company. The internship program as it is known was started with a
major plan of enabling students acquire enough technical and practical knowledge concerning
how the works are performed in the practical world in relation to their field of study.

Department of Civil Engineering, R.I.T, Hassan Page|18

 Internship Report

4.1 PRACTICAL SKILLS: I have been able to accumulate certain practical skills which are
important in running a construction project. As I have noticed this sector requires the availability
of enough practical knowledge and very educated professionals. In the time elapsed I have
worked with professionals that helped me acquire practical skills both on the site and in the
office. As I have explained before performing works in the office was my activity where I was
able to thoroughly understand and practice work tasks conducted in the office. Based on this I
have practiced preparing take off sheet s for different work items. On the site I have practiced the
works of various structural parts by following the procedures utilized for each specific categories
of work. In this respect the concrete works, bar bending, formwork preparation, and demolishing,
chiselling and plastering works were included. Another practical activity I have obtained was the
skill of supervision which includes controlling, commanding and leading a group of workers in
performing a task.

4.2 THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE: The internship program has given me a chance to

enhance my theoretical knowledge to a great extent. When observing the activities performed on
the site; there were various points which attract and require the closer analysis and assistance
from professionals working there. Since I have been working on an RC structure; I have utilized
the knowledge I have got from the previous courses. I have tried to focus on relating the concepts
from the courses taken with working principles and mechanisms followed on the site.

4.3 EXPERIENCE GAINED: I had a great experience in SEE WILL properties. It is good
platform for the fresher’s to get knowledge about the site activities. I have learnt time
management and labour management effectively which is the main aspect of execution. High
Quality work is maintained, so that it gives knowledge about how to achieve quality works. My
external guide during internship was Mr.Suneel, site engineer from whom I have learned a lot
during my internship. During execution I have learnt time management and labour management
effectively which is the main aspect of execution.

4.4 WORK ETHICS: In every profession, there are ethics to be followed. These rules help
workers maintain appropriate professional discipline. Without these ethics, it would be difficult

Department of Civil Engineering, R.I.T, Hassan Page|19

 Internship Report

to conduct ones work effectively. There is labour discipline that each worker should observe and
respect. These could relate to norms, mode of carrying out a work, protection of the property and
means of working and managing activities. Failure to observe such ethical rules would result in
penalty which ranges from suspension to dismissal. Thus workers are expected to observe
professional rules so as to be more productive and to establish good rapport with other workers.
Some important ethical values that should be followed are discussed below.

CONCLUSION
 The main objective of the industrial training is to provide an opportunity to undergraduates to
identify, observe and practice how engineering is applicable in the real industry. It is not only
to get experience on technical practices but also to observe management practices and to
interact with on field workers.
 It was an opportunity to learn the way of work in an organization, the importance of being
punctual, the importance of maximum commitment and the importance of team spirit.
 The main aim of studies within this project was to investigate how a structure is constructed
within its desired properties. Company give opportunity to get knowledge about the basic &
