Nirmanith Module Overview
Introduction
Nirmanith is an integrated solution and offers complete coverage of construction projects from budgeting to closure. It takes care of all business-related tasks with particular emphasis on tender management, contract management, project management, site management, invoicing etc. Brief narration of product functionality across these modules is provided below.
Planning and Initiation
The activity starts with preparation of Project Proposal from Engineering department. The proposal is sent to the Finance / Budget sanctioning authority for review and approval. Once the proposal is sanctioned, a Project will be created in the system. The finance department flags off the commencement of the project by creating a Project Identification in the system.
Design and Engineering
After Project Identification is created; the next step is to create a detailed estimate. The engineering workbench within Nirmanith has provision to attach drawings and plans, analyze rates and finally to create detailed estimates. The detailed estimate can be created in multiple ways depending on project requirement. Once Engineering prepares the estimate it is sent to Finance for approval.
Procurement
After the estimate is approved, this module will break it down into line items that can be included in tender schedule. The product caters to notice inviting tender (NIT) which can be exported to an e-Tendering portal and bids can be imported back into the product. Items will be grouped by type of work to facilitate tendering process. Then, the technical and commercial bids are evaluated based on criteria specified for evaluation. For each winning bid, the schedule of items and contract conditions are compiled to generate a letter of intent.
Stay "On-time, On-cost and On-spec"
Construction processes are still heavily reliant on human expertise and initiatives by individuals. Nirmanith offers web-based comprehensive platform to manage entire construction project better.
Contract Management
The contract management process starts with preparation of a contract document by compiling the schedule of items and contract conditions. Any amendment requests received from the site executive are routed through the approval process before amending the contract.
Site Monitoring
The contractor initiates work on acceptance of LOI. Issues, status and any other events from site can be periodically imported to the project diary and status can be easily tracked using the system. There is a provision for site engineer to maintain the measurement book and this can be verified and forwarded for payment processing.
Simplifying construction management
The implementation of applications in construction companies has not factored in the need for integrated functioning of departments. This results in cost overruns, delays and quality issues.
Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) & Quality
Nirmanith enables planning, tracking and monitoring of health and safety aspects in the work environment. It provides a mechanism to track safety measures, incidents, audit / inspection findings and take issues to closure. It also enables alerts and reports to designated personnel.
Management Information
Nirmanith enables enterprises to create, locate, manage and disseminate information across projects. The solution offers powerful reporting and search tools to analyze the project health such as balanced score card, milestone chart, weekly status reports and Pondering Maturity Index (PMI).
Capitalize on learnings from past
Decisions in construction organizations are largely based on experience and intuition of their people rather than hard data. As a result, many projects may run into same difficulties experienced in the past.
