CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT

 First of all I would like to ask you what is management? Because before discussing about construction management first of all you should have to be careful with the term management. Obviously management means planning, decision making, leadership process, co-operating with the works of others etc. and etc. And most importantly he should be careful about the company to handle the problems of his work. 

Construction management is also same thing that involves in . The manager should be careful about the materials, equipment's and machineries that are required in the construction site. He should also have the power to handle every labor problems and the working area of the site. He should have to think 360° view of the work in the construction site, where the obstructions will occur, how to control the execution of work and how to make the work efficient and easy.

But this construction management cannot be achieved within a short period of time, because you should have the experience of construction work. You should have the experience of each and every construction work and this could achieved after 10 to 15 years when you are fully confident about each and every construction work in the company.

There are some major cases that you should have to be careful about such as providing them safety equipments, handling the work in each and every difficulty, managing the workers etc. As the same work is done by the contract engineer like that the same work is also provided by the construction manager also. But every work is not done by the manager like the same way every work is not done by the contract engineer. Because the contract should have to view and think about the work that is to be done at the site. But the construction manager have to handle and qualify the workers about the work to provide them every benefits. 

Okk with this case everything is okk. Then what does the contractor do? Because mostly as a fresher you see that all these safety equipment's, materials and tools are provided by the contractors. Well in small projects it happens but where their is a large project of about more than 100 crores the contractor only pays and discuss about each and every materials, machineries how to keep them at the site and how to work with them. But in most cases the contractor only pays to the workers and machineries that are bought by him. No matter from where he gets that money; because for every new equipment's or materials he gets paid by the company.

How to edit grid systems in Etabs

 Okk in the last blog I had discussed about Etabs for beginners. You have got at least some ideas about it. If you have not seen it then click here . But here I am going to discuss how you will edit Grids/Columns in Etabs. As I had said by clicking on "Modify/Show Grid Systems" option a new dialog box appears, their you can edit anything. But you can also do it by different way. On the left side in grid dimensions (plan) you can see that two options are available. One is "Uniform Grid Spacing" and the other is "Custom Grid Spacing". Click on the "Custom Grid Spacing" and you see that Edit Grid Data option is available. Just click on that, and you can edit it as you want by giving the required dimensions in X-axis and Y-axis only. Ok whatever be lets come to the topic. If you have done it like as I have shown earlier then follow those steps. And the one who were new to this blog this is just for that. That's why I underlined with BLUE line an...

How to make Staircase in Etabs

 In the last blog I had described about making beams, columns, slabs/roofs in Etabs. But I forgot to tell you how to make staircase. Apology for that. But today in this blog I am going to discuss how to make staircase in Etabs. So before making Staircase first of all delete one side of the slab by single click.

Now the main procedure begins for Etabs.  Go to define tab menu and click on Se...

WHAT IS PEDESTAL IN FOOTING ?

 During foundation you should always be careful that there is no water present in the excavation pit and the depth should be accurate. So for that you need manwork and labourers to maintain it's accuracy. So before going further for any work just be careful that the depth of foundation is accurate and no error should be made. Because the structure of a building is fully depend upon foundation. And this is general sense that the all the building loads are carried to the foundation i.e., footing.  Before doing any foundation work first of all brick soiling is to be done or sand filling. The building where high rise structures are made, sand filling is done; but the house with ground floor, brick soiling is sufficient. But from where you will get the bricks. Obviously you will have to order or bring it from bricks factory where bricks are made. And after bringing the bricks where you will placed them?  (Actually all these practical knowledge are not taught in the college so ...
