illusion that any outcome is the result of a
series of predetermined, deliberate acts when, in
fact, it was dumb luck. Harold Kerzner

  management and not revenue generation) is still a
  dream of majority of companies and this dream can
  be made into reality with the help of NFRA.
• Project planning is a essential and demanding
  activity in the management and execution of
  construction projects. Project Planning
  Scheduling and Management is in-build tool in
  eresource nfra. Before the Project planning is
  generated, eresource allows you to create your
  project calendar by inputting complete
  information of client and their requirement. You
  can also set the start and end date.

  to keep a record of all the activities being
  undertaken in the project along with the cost and

Project calendar
Calendar keeps the record of start and end date
(actual) of the project and activities, along
with time and working hours of the week. Project
Calendar While Project automatically provides
you with default calendar settings (Monday
through Friday, 8AM to 5PM), those defaults might
not be the right fit for your projects.
Therefore, it is vital for Project Calendar to
enter things like holidays, typical working hours
of the project, or other organization-wide
calendar items. When you enter a holiday or a
change to working times in a base calendar, those
changes are automatically reflected in all other
calendars that use that base calendar to create
Project calendar.. Exception handling can also
be easily through this so that the delays can be
managed properly. It allows one to keep a list
of holidays so that one can manage accordingly.

Plan creation

• Creating a plan comes handy with NFRA, one can
  import the activities from an existing plan or
  from an excel sheet. Project Planning It is
  universal law in the Project business that the
  critical factors for project success is having a
  well-developed project plan. Project Plan allows
  you to select Project Calendar and create Work
  Break-down activity of the project, define
  Predecessors, start date, end-date of the
  activity. You can also add Resources and
  associated information, like BOQ Items, staffing
  requirements, machineries/equipment/tools.
• Once the task are there planned, projected and
  actual date for dates can be entered. Nfra also
  provides the checklist of materials against the
  task being undertaken.

Material take off
Material take off (MTO) is a term used in
engineering and construction, and refers to a
list of materials with quantities and types (such
as specific grades of steel) that are required to
build a designed structure or item. It allows
one to keep record of the new material required
one, the replaced one and even the removed one so
that there is no data loss for material.
15
Material take off (contd.)
If any activity of the project is divided into
different Work Areas, one can add those areas
from here and then the MTO is can be defined for
the concerned WA. BOQ description, name,
quantity, item name with provision of adding,
deleting or replacing any material is also
provided. User can also view the history of MTO
for the concerned WA.

a change in scope from the user end or due to the
need of situation. So to manage these changes,

One can import an BOQ and make changes or can
do them manually too.

Variation to contract(approval)
After the necessary changes are made, it is sent
to the customer for approval with the changes in
no. of quantities required with the prices for
the same. Apart from adding attachments required
for the changes, one can also select different
currencies(in case of suppliers from different
region) with conversion rates, to save any
monetary losses.
