Nirmanith - Solution to stay “On-time, On-cost and On-spec”
Introduction
Construction companies are lagging in using information technology to help execute their projects. Current processes in construction companies are still heavily reliant on human expertise, communication and initiatives by individuals. Nirmanith is based on innovative technology bundled with practical experience of the industry. Nirmanith offers single and comprehensive platform to manage construction projects end-to-end. Nirmanith helps enterprises improve their construction project operations in the following ways:
- Proving a single platform for cross-functional processes
- Enables decisions based on hard data
- Manage risks effectively in timely manner
Departmental coordination
In the lifecyle of a construction project, a number of processes require departments and partners to work collaboratively. However, the teams are unable to collaborate effectively because departmental applications are implemented without factoring in the integration needs of construction projects. As a result, projects face cost overruns, delays and quality issues due to poor coordination across departments. To ensure effective teamwork, it is imperative to have a solution that enables collaboration of departments and partners across multiple sites.
Nirmanith offers a web based solution connecting various departments, partners and suppliers spanning across multiple sites on a single platform. It offers seamless workflow across departments through the process of estimation, budgeting, specification, procurement and payment.
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.
Derive decisions based on hard data
Construction industry depends on the experience of people for leveraging experience gained through past projects because historical project data is not readily available to use when needed. As a result, decisions are largely based on perception and not backed by hard data.
Nirmanith enables companies to record, organize, manage, retrieve and disseminate data across projects. It provides easy to use interface for retrieving past data supplemented with powerful search and reporting capability. Through Nirmanith, information is presented in a manner that supports decision-making.
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.
Manage Construction Project Risks
Construction projects suffer due to critical incidents, non-compliance to environmental health and safety norms or delayed delivery from suppliers. In large project set-up, these issues could throw surprises to schedule, cost and quality of the project. Top management is not informed in timely manner when there is potential of risks turning into reality.
Nirmanith strives to minimize accidents and occupational risks through systematic risk assessment. Nirmanith reduces surprises through instantaneous system triggered alerts and email notifications to concerned people. It expedites early closure of action items such as reviews and approvals at every stage; workflow based alert /escalation mail will facilitate early resolution on issues in approval chain.
Why managing risk is crucial?
Management needs to be informed on potential risks in timely manner to take appropriate actions. Companies face economic losses and lawsuit if potential risks are not addressed in time.

Nirmanith supports the entire life cycle from project initiation through design, procurement and construction site monitoring on a common infrastructure. The business processes explained in the figure 1 are supported through different modules of Nirmanith which are – Planning & Initiation, Design & Engineering, Procurement, Contract management, Site monitoring, Quality management, Environmental Health & Safety and MIS.
