Consulting

I would structure your consultancy like this

Construction Consultancy – Trichy

Offer clients one company/contact for:

  • Site feasibility & planning
  • Building planning coordination
  • Structural design coordination
  • Approval/documentation coordination
  • Detailed estimation & BOQ
  • Contractor selection
  • Material specification
  • Construction supervision
  • Quality control
  • Quantity/billing verification
  • Project scheduling
  • Cost control
  • Renovation/extension consultancy
  • NRI/Dubai client project management

Important: building approvals

Don’t position yourself as personally performing regulated professional services unless you have the required qualifications/registrations.

For example, Tamil Nadu’s urban local-body system has a specific “Registration of Professionals/Developers” process associated with building-plan approval.

A good model is to build a professional network:

  • Civil Engineer
  • Licensed Architect
  • Structural Engineer
  • Surveyor
  • Electrical consultant
  • Plumbing consultant
  • Approval/documentation specialist
  • Then you become the project coordinator / construction consultant.
  • That allows the client to have one point of contact while the appropriately qualified professionals handle their respective technical/legal responsibilities.

Build your vendor network

This is extremely important.

Create a database of:

Contractors

  • Civil contractors
  • Tile contractors
  • Plumbing contractors
  • Electrical contractors
  • Painting contractors
  • Aluminium/uPVC
  • Fabricators
  • False ceiling
  • Modular kitchen
  • Waterproofing

Suppliers

  • Cement
  • Steel
  • Blocks
  • M-sand
  • P-sand
  • Aggregates
  • Tiles
  • Sanitaryware
  • Electrical
  • Plumbing
  • Paint
