WORK EXPERIENCE
MY PROJECTS
Professional Construction Planning of a Single-Family Home
Development of a Multi-Phase Construction Plan for Existing Structures
Bid Preparation for the Construction of a Low-Rise Expansion Project
Simulated a real-world comprehensive construction planning for a real-life facility, starting from Project scoping,
Break Down Structure (WBS), Quantity take-offs (QTO) & Project Schedule, Analysis of Cash Flow & Resources, 4D
Model, Control System & Procurement Plan, and Digital Applications.
The outcome was to gain industry-level hands-on experience in construction planning and apply the techniques learned as part of the coursework Construction Planning.

Development of a Multi-Phase Construction Plan for Existing Structures
Bid Preparation for the Construction of a Low-Rise Expansion Project
I developed a detailed project plan that included a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), Work Division plan, Project schedule, Estimated quantity take-offs (QTO), and a cost estimate. Through Rent-Lease-Buy and Cash Flow analyses, I optimized the plan to strike a balance between quality, time, and cost tradeoffs.
The result was a successful bid that outbid other teams while ensuring the project was completed on time, within budget, and to a high level of quality. This experience helped me to develop essential project management skills and set the foundation for future successes in my career.

Energy-efficient and Sustainable self-compacting (SCC) concrete using recycled waste
I played a key role in developing a comprehensive plan for an existing LEED Platinum-certified campus building that included mobilization, site work & excavation, foundations, superstructure, exterior cladding, framing, interior finishes, and MEP.
By leveraging my knowledge of construction techniques and materials, I helped to create a plan that exceeded the project owner's expectations in terms of cost, quality, and timeliness. This experience provided me with a deeper understanding of the complexities involved in construction project management and reinforced the importance of attention to detail and effective communication in achieving project success.

I recognized the significance of recycling and developed a sustainable concrete mixture using Ordinary Portland cement, Porcelain filler, and C&D waste as coarse and fine aggregates. To ensure the quality of the mixture, I analyzed its compressive and flexural strength.
Moreover, I reduced the cost estimation by an average of 30% for concrete work in construction projects by utilizing existing C&D and industrial waste. This approach allowed us to reduce waste while also cutting down on costs, making the projects more environmentally and economically sustainable.

Extensive Survey Project at Bangalore University
I utilized surveying, hydrology, and highway engineering principles to create a town layout with residential, commercial, and recreational areas, and roads. Using the total station surveyor's equipment, I accurately plotted the township's boundary and ground points, accounting for environmental and safety concerns. The layout included ample green spaces and recreational areas, enhancing the town's overall livability.
