    The document outlines several key challenges facing the construction industry in India. It discusses issues related to manpower such as an unorganized labor sector and lack of training. Safety is a major concern, as unsafe practices can lead to injuries and increased costs. Projects often encounter delays due to various time constraints. Environmental regulations must be followed carefully to avoid penalties. Legal disputes around changes in scope, claims, and alternative dispute resolution are also challenges. The industry would benefit from greater awareness of and compliance with the many risks and implications of these multifaceted challenges.

    CHALLENGES BEFORE

    CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY
    IN INDIA

    Construction projects represent a unique set of activities.


    The success of a project is judged by meeting the criteria
    Time
    Cost
    Safety
    Resource allocation
    Quality
    To achieve goals and objectives through the planned
    expenditure of resources that meet the projects
    Quality
    Cost
    Time
    Scope
    Safety requirements.
    It must control, deflect, or mitigate the effects of any
    occurrence or situation that could affect project success.

    Nature of the Work

    The work is often seasonal.


    Each project is unique.
    Often involves remote sites with various access problems.
    The process is not as predictable.
    Difficulty in applying automation.
    There is high potential for encountering unforeseen conditions.
    Costs can vary according to conditions.
    Difficult to manage and supply utilities and other resources.
    Technical innovations are adopted slower.
    Success is dependent upon the quality of its people.
    Very custom-oriented.
    Product can be of mind-boggling size, cost, and complexity
    The work is not performed in controlled conditions and dependant
    on
    weather and other environmental conditions.

    Safety
    Direct costs include medical cost and compensation. Indirect or
    hidden costs include:
    Time lost from work by the injured party.
    Loss in earning power, economic loss to injured workers family.
    Diminished quality of life for the injured party.
    Loss of efficiency by breaking up crew.
    Cost to train new or replacement employees.
    Damage to equipment and tools.
    Loss of production.
    Cost incurred by delays.
    Failure to meet contract demands (completion, etc).
    Overhead costs associated with disruption of work.
    Cleanup and repair costs.
    Administrative costs of investigations and reports.
    Increased insurance premiums.
    Loss of future projects due to adverse publicity.
    Cost of fines.

    Unsafe manual material handling

    vehicle

    Time constraints
    Delays below optimum efficiency resulting in higher
    user cost.
    Delays in constructing or rehabilitation infrastructure
    affects businesses and the public at-large.
    Time implications from the constructors perspective
    include loss incentive payments.
    Delays result in extended overhead costs and critical
    cash flow.
    Extension of project durations limits the
    constructors capacity and ability to bid more work.
    Inefficient time management results in higher labor
    and equipment costs.

    Environmental Issues
    Strict regulation, permitting requirements, and
    enforcement are designed to protect human
    health and the natural environment.
    Failure to comply with environmental
    regulation can result in project delay or
    termination, disqualification from future work
    opportunities, fines, civil action, and even
    criminal prosecution.
    One must have full knowledge and
    understanding of environmental regulations
    and permit requirements.

    Federal Water Pollution Control Act (Clean


    Water Act),
    Clean Air Act, Resource Conservation and
    Recovery Act, and the Comprehensive
    Environmental Response Compensation
    and Liability Act
    Environmental concerns that impact
    construction include erosion and
    sedimentation control, wetlands and
    parklands, leaking underground storage
    tanks and contaminated soil, lead paint
    removal, asbestos, hazardous waste, dust
    control, and noise.

    Legal issues
    Change in scope and differing or unexpected site
    conditions are grounds for a claim.
    The various types of claims include
    delay/disruption, extra work claims, acceleration,
    impossibility-of-performance, defective design
    (error or omission),interference, and superior
    knowledge claims.
    Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) practices
    have been employed with some success. ADR
    methods include negotiation, arbitration,
    mediation, neutral advisors, and Dispute Review
    Boards (DRB).

    Governmental Regulation
    Basic/National Building Code (BOCA
    Code).
    Uniform Building Code (UBC), or the
    Standard Building Code (SBC).
    The International Building Code 2000
    (IBC).
    National Electric Code (NEC).
    Life Safety Code by the NFPA under
    ANSI.

    Socio-Political Pressures
    Political pressures and community involvement
    affect public and to some extent, private sector
    work. Pressures emanate from adjacent property
    owners and the public at-large, including existing
    businesses, institutions, and residences adjacent to
    the constructed facility. Civic organizations and
    community groups have more input into design and
    construction of public works projects, and greater
    impact on private work through the land use and
    planning process. The community has greater input
    through citizen advisory boards that are engaged
    during project initiation, design, and construction.

    Technical human resource and


    employment potential
    1995-96 approximately1.5 cr people were
    employed and was expected it to be 3.26
    cr.
    Three categories of people are artisans
    level, supervisory level and managerial
    level.
    19th engineering congress to human
    capital development in January 2002
    observed that India will not have sufficient
    civil engineers to undertake basic
    infrastructure work.

    Conclusion
    Must be keenly be aware of the risks and
    implications of these challenges.
    Situations and conditions that must be
    proactively managed
    Workforce considerations, safety, time
    constraints, and the changing nature of the
    work itself.
    Non construction challenges like legal issues,
    government regulations, environmental
    concerns, and socio-political pressures must be
    accessed.
