PREFACE
This tiny effort has been made in the direction to appreciate the
importance of electro-mechanical and plumbing work in the
construction industry.
This will serve as a hand book with ready reckoned to all
professionals engaged in the MEP work.
It will also provide a ready made guidance to all contractors and
sub contractors at site.
This book clearly defines the roll and responsibility of each one
involved in the execution of the project.
It is observed in my long years of experience in the field that there
is always a dispute within the agencies regarding administrative
procedures to be followed. Keeping that thing in mind we tried to
segregate all administrative obligations to be adhered by each
agency.
It is hoped that this small effort will bring a big change in the
professionals approach engaged in the construction industry.
Sincerely,
Dr. S.L.Sharma

The philosophy of the electro mechanical project management is drawn from ISO
9001 (2000) and British standards.
However, every particular project is guided by its own project contract and
supervised by quality manual.
PROJECT COORDINATION
4- Co-ordination
4.1 The project co-ordination is the main operational and management tool to
Execute the project smoothly and timely.
Co-ordination among all agencies such as client, consultant, main contractor
and other subcontractor are most essential to have proper reporting system to
Over look and supervise all activities in progress at site.
Generally the following chain is maintained:
Client(Management)
Consultant
Main Contractor
4.2
4.2.1 It is the main obligation of the consultant to appraise the progress of the
Project to the client periodically.
4.2.2 Where Specified with in the tender documents or in contract documents,
specific client reporting templates (formats) and coordination procedures will
Be implemented. In other cases the formats published/distributed by
Consultant will be utilized and followed.
4.2.3 Should client need any direct reporting on specific formats the same will be
Distributed to all concern by consultant.
4.2.4 Generally all reporting to the client or his representative will be followed or
routed through consultant. However client as the owner of the project can
direct any agency involved in the project to submit specific reports. All
agencies are requiring submitting the desired report to client under intimation
to consultant if not directed to do so by the client.
4.3.1 It is the main obligation and sole responsibility of the contractor to convert
designed project in to a reality.
4.3.2 To fulfill this task the consultant becomes the main controller of the all
project.
4.3.3 It is the sole responsibility of the consultant that all local and international
norms including safety and environment protection are adhered and
followed.
4.3.4 The quality standards are maintained as per designed specification laid down
in the construction documents.
4.3.5 The consultant or his representative will act as main controller of the project.
4.3.6 The main contractor will keep a close association with the consultant. All
drawing/material will be approved by engineer before putting them in use.
4.3.7 The contractor will invite engineer for all technical activities prior decided.
4.3.8 It is the duty of consultant to remove all project bottlenecks.
4.3.8 The contractor is obliged to bring a clear picture of all activities going on at
the site by submitting periodic reports.
4.3.9 The contractor will use all specific reporting formats advised by consultant
for all project activities.
4.3.10It is the sole responsibility of contractor to provide all infrastructure facilities
for his and engineers staff.
4.3.11The contractor is to provide all method statement as per enclosed template.
10
4.4.1 All sub contractors will work under the supervision of main contractor.
4.4.2 All sub contractors are compulsorily registered with local government.
4.4.3 All submittals submitted by sub contractor should be routed through main
contractor.
4.4.4 Main contractor should act as intermediate agency between consultant and
sub contractor.
4.4.5 All the periodic report submitted by sub contractor should be forwarded to
engineer by main contractor.
4.4.6 It is mandatory for main contractor to take the approval of all sub contractors
engaged for project activities.
4.4.7 Main contractor is required to pass on all standard formats of engineer to sub
contractor.
4.4.8 It is the sole authority of engineer to deal directly with any of the sub
contractor wherever required or desired so by engineer.
