I am constructing a factory and have built a site where engineer or architect will come. This site is inside the factory premises will also be a part of factory once the construction of the factory will be completed. The site is basically a place for them to sit and guide how everything is going on in the construction of the factory.
My query is that the employers who are engaged in the construction of the factory will be covered under BOCW act but what about the site where these engineer and architect will sit. will it come under Shops and establishment act. If yes, how?
the state is Himachal pradesh where the factory is being constructed.
2. Do i need to register the factory construction site under BOCW Act and the site for engineers and architect under S&E act or under one act?
My Analysis: The construction workers employed at the site where factory is being constructed will fall under BOCW act. Engineers and architect not being construction workers will not fall under BOCW Act. According to y interpretation, the engineers and architect will fall under S&E act.

Since the business has not commenced and the site is meant for a factory, neither the Factories Act nor the Shops ....Act will apply for the time being. The Building and Other Construction Workers Conditions of Service Act will invariably apply to the site office and the operations therein. Based on the value of the construction you have to pay cess and in that the total value is considered and not the functional status of employees and their salaries do not matter.

Thank you for your response, sir.
Sir I also concluded the same thing but my point being that architects and engineers would also be covered under BOCW? because BOCW is for the welfare of the construction workers those who are very poor. I don't think so engineers or architect will fall under BOCW. Here my focus is not on the construction workers as the contractor has employed them.
My main concern is regarding the site where engineers and architects will sit and under what act do i need to register it? If you are saying it should be under BOCW so welfare provisions of BOCW will not be applicable on engineers and architects because they are not covered under it.

yes, while registering the beneficiaries of the Fund, you can exclude the managers. The construction company as it is may have an office under which these officers will be enrolled as employees. Accordingly, they should be having PF, Insurance coverage etc and that will continue to be available to them while they are deputed in the construction sites also.

Sir apologies but didn’t get your answer for YES. Could you explain me once again under which act should I go?

Doesn't the Construction company have an office away from the site? If yes, aren't these supervisors enrolled under the EPF and Insurance (if their salary is less than 21000 under ESI) schemes? Then that is enough for them. Afterall, the Building and Construction Workers....Act is also meant for the same purpose, safety, health and welfare of the workers engaged int he construction.
