What departments shall I create??

Hi Revathi,

You have already got valuable ideas above..just adding on ...an construction company can also have the following(self -explanatory)

to name a few:

• civil department
• architecture dept
• project cost evaluation dept
• administrations project
• budget magagement
• construction waste mgmnt
• labor dept
• safety&health dept
• legal admin dept
• Engg dept

Thanks Ms.Kavita for your valuable input. A few of the departments which you have given is required in the future such as Safety and Health dept, Legal dept. Can you please explain me what is Labor dept?Is it related to labor grievances?

Yes Revathi, it would also cover the various Acts such as

• Industrial Disputes Act
• Minimum Wages Act
• Workmen Compensation Act
• Building & other construction welfare acts etc

In future you can also have an Training & Employment dept ..to meet the recruitment of skilled engg/workers for ur firm

You can also distribute the project in to Mechanical ie like fabrication, designing and civil then it will be easy for the HODs for distribution and also the performance evaluation part. Ensure that a HOD should have not more than 7 - 8 people reporting.
Material supervisor and all comes under warehouse, you can also have purchase and the head for ware house and purchase may be a manager - materials or else you can have ware house manager and purchase manager seperately.
I believe your works might be at different locations then you require an administrative person to look in to their day to day activities.
The other areas a person for liasioning and for statutory compliances. Once you continue you may require to cover more areas accordingly you can add some more sections basing on the need.
Thanks and regards - kameswarao

Dear Mam,

I'm also working in Construction Company. When i joined, first i prepared master database of all the employees. I had sorted employee nos. based on their date of joining.

I maintain my MIS:-
1) Grade wise
2) Location wise
3) Department wise





I had included other support staff in admin department only.
and in my opinion projects department consists of all the designations project managers, engineers, site supervisors etc. Only Tendering & Procurements may be considered as seperate department & may not be included in projects.

I am surprised to know that being HR Manager working in such responsible position you don't know even basic's of HR management and has to take shelter of novice trainees of Citehr. Do you think this internet base advise will work I bet you that this is impossible to implement because until you have proper understanding of business process and key core busienss verticles you cannot just create boxes as departments and decide what is fit into this boxes.

This is showing yoru inexperience baby. I have sympathy wit you. But you must first learn about business processes of construction industry and your organization structure then discuss with your key core department heads and arrive at final conclusion. Discussion in this forum is not solution. You will get solution from within your organization as every organization is unique and they own typical business model delegation of authority and span of control.
