Building Beyond Bricks : A Collaborative Journey Towards Transformative Personal Construction

Inspired by the vision of empowering individuals and enriching lives through personal building, we embark on a transformative journey driven by the power of collaboration and fueled by groundbreaking scientific advancements. This isn't just about erecting structures; it's about unlocking human potential by creating personal spaces that inspire, nurture, and propel individuals and communities towards a brighter future.

Our Mission of developing Modular Building Technology that empowers & enriches customers’ lives - benefits all of humanity.

The Role

As a Structural Engineer, you will play a crucial role in designing PEB steel and RCC buildings in compliance with IS codes. You will ensure that all designs adhere to industrialized construction principles and Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) guidelines. You will collaborate closely with IITM for design validation, and with the supply-chain team to select industry-relevant materials that facilitate ease of manufacturing, assembly, and construction, particularly for Minimum-skill manufacturing & On-site Erection to enable us to execute buildings scale.

Key Responsibilities :

Design and Analysis :

  • Design PEB steel structures, LGSF design and RCC (Reinforced Cement Concrete) elements for modular buildings, ensuring compliance with relevant IS codes (e.g., IS 800, IS 456).
  • Apply industrialized construction principles to optimize designs for efficient fabrication and assembly.
  • Utilize Building Information Modeling (BIM) software to create and manage 3D models of structural components.
  • Collaborate with architects and other engineers to integrate structural solutions with overall building design.

Design for Manufacturability & Assembly (DFMA) :

  • Ensure designs adhere to DFMA principles, minimising on-site construction complexity and maximising prefabrication in a controlled factory environment.
  • Work closely with the procurement team to select readily available and industry-standard materials for efficient procurement and cost optimization.
  • Structural Bill of Materials (BOM) & Construction Documentation :

  • Assist the tendering team by providing approximate quantity of building structural estimates such as Super-Structure (Steel Required) & Sub-Structure (foundation).
  • Develop detailed structural BOMs, specifying all required steel and RCC components for each project.
  • Create clear and concise construction drawings and shop drawings for fabrication and assembly guidance.
  • Pre-Fabrication Quality Assurance and Approvals :

  • Structural Engineering :
  • Prepare and submit structural design documents for vetting by IITM (Indian Institute of Technology Madras) or other designated approval bodies.
  • Address any comments or revisions arising from the review process to ensure design compliance.
  • Material Quality :
  • Specify the required steel grade and certifications (IS codes relevant to your location) for all structural components.
  • Review mill certificates to ensure materials meet specified standards.
  • Fabrication Drawings :
  • Provide detailed fabrication drawings with clear dimensions, tolerances, weld specifications, bolt-hole locations, and any necessary surface treatments (galvanization, painting).
  • Ensure drawings are reviewed and approved by a qualified engineer before fabrication begins.
  • Shop Welding Procedures :
  • Establish and document welding procedures that comply with relevant standards (e.g., AWS - American Welding Society).
  • Specify welder qualification requirements and testing procedures.
  • Quality Control Procedures :
  • Outline a comprehensive Quality Control (QC) plan for the fabrication shop. This should include procedures for material inspection, dimensional verification, weld inspections (visual and non-destructive testing), and paint / galvanizing inspection.
  • Erection Quality Points :

  • Erection Drawings :
  • Collaborate with BIM Engineer to provide detailed erection drawings that clearly show the erection sequence, bolt tightening sequence, and any specific lifting procedures for heavier components.
  • Erection Team Qualifications :
  • Ensure the erection team is qualified and experienced in handling PEB structures.
  • Verify they possess the necessary licenses and certifications for steel erection.
  • Site Inspections :
  • Conduct regular site inspections throughout the erection process to verify compliance with the erection drawings and identify any potential problems.
  • Focus on critical aspects like foundation integrity, column alignment, connection details, and proper bolt-tightening procedures.
  • Quality Control Documentation :
  • Require the erection team to maintain detailed QC documentation. This should include records of inspections, weld certifications, and corrective actions taken for any non-conformances.
  • Additional Considerations :

  • Shop Approval : Consider visiting the fabrication shop to verify their capabilities and compliance with your QC procedures (optional but beneficial for larger projects).
  • Independent Inspections : Engage a third-party inspection agency to conduct additional quality checks at the fabrication shop and during erection (especially for critical structures).
  • Project Communication : Maintain open communication channels with the fabrication shop, erection team, and the general contractor to ensure everyone is aware of potential issues and can collaborate effectively for successful project completion.
  • Construction Methodology Development :

  • Embrace Innovation : Challenge the team to constantly think outside the box. Encourage experimentation with new construction techniques and materials suited for Prefab.
  • Standardization with Flexibility : Develop standardized Prefab methods for efficiency, but also allow for customization to meet specific project requirements.
  • Develop a "Prefab Playbook" : Create a standardized approach for developing construction methodologies for different project types. This playbook should incorporate best practices, lessons learned, and adaptable solutions for various challenges.
  • Focus on Sustainability : Integrate sustainable practices into the construction methodology. This could include using recycled materials, optimizing energy efficiency, and minimizing waste.
  • Collaboration and Communication :

  • Client Focus : Develop a strong understanding of client needs and incorporate their feedback into the Prefab design and construction process. This fosters long-term client relationships and helps build a strong reputation in the Prefab market.
  • Prefab Expertise Sharing : Educate other stakeholders like architects and clients about the benefits and limitations of Prefab construction. This promotes a collaborative approach and avoids unrealistic expectations.
  • Work effectively with the project team, including architects, mechanical & electrical engineers, and the procurement team.
  • Participate in project meetings to discuss design considerations, constructability, and cost implications.
  • Maintain clear and open communication with stakeholders to ensure project success.
  • Continuous Improvement :

  • EPC - IC : Constantly pursue a path of continuous improvement to execute 99% of EPC projects in an IC manner & Celebrate team members who contribute to this cause.
  • Prefab-specific Lean Practices : Identify and implement new lean construction principles specifically suited to Prefab workflows.
  • Embrace New Technologies : Actively research and integrate cutting-edge technologies, Methods, advanced materials & automation in Prefab construction.
  • S tay up-to-date on the latest advancements in PEB technology, industrialized construction methods, and relevant IS codes.
  • Actively participate in training opportunities to enhance knowledge and skills in structural engineering and Prefab construction.
