We have teamed up and have great partners who can support on building construction and technologies. Further our strategies of shifting projects to project and development management structure wherein specialized agencies execute role specific work can optimize overall costs and insulate clients to complete projects within time and budget while keeping them fully insulated from a single EPC Contractor.
- Kindly share some advice for the young ones entering into the field.
Construction and Project Management are a rewarding and lucrative career option for ambitious individuals looking to get ahead in the industry. However, it is also a highly demanding one & requires extensive Research & Skill Development. Before entering the field of Project management, we felt that expertise in one sub-set of Construction & Engineering like Architecture, Civil, Electrical or Mechanical Engineering is a must.
