Where We Build Your Visions

This firm operates fully under Mr. Sushant Shrikant Vishwasrao, who has the authority to make decisions on behalf of Mr. Khan.
We are a dynamic group of 18 staff members, covering a wide range of disciplines including architecture, interior design, structural engineering, structural repairs and restoration, construction material testing, geotechnical investigation, construction project management, and consultancy services.
Our excellence in core competencies stems from our dedicated service, skilled civil engineering team, professional approach, and integrity of the highest standard. We pride ourselves on our professional acumen, which has withstood the test of time.

PHASE II PMC Services: From Tendering to Implementation
At Atharva Consulting Engineers, our work as Project Management Consultants (PMC) commences upon receiving the official work order from the society. Our primary objective is to ensure a seamless and transparent process from tendering to the successful completion of the project.
Initially, we draft a preliminary tender document and share it with the society for their review. This allows the society to suggest changes or include specific requirements they deem necessary for the project. Based on this feedback, we prepare a comprehensive final tender document for building repairs and painting works, incorporating all the agreed-upon changes.

1) Preparation of Tender Documents
We prepared a detailed and comprehensive tender document encompassing all critical aspects of
the project. This included vendor agreements, technical specifications, scope of work, legal
requirements, material details, and general terms and conditions. The draft was meticulously
crafted to ensure clarity and precision, addressing every essential requirement. Once completed,
the document was shared with the committee for their final review and approval, ensuring
alignment with the society’s expectations and needs.
2) Publishing of Tender
Following the committee's approval, the tender advertisement is published in a newspaper for a
specified duration, typically one week. This step ensures wide visibility and attracts contractors
interested in the project. Contractors who wish to participate can purchase the tender document
directly from us. The entire process, from placing the advertisement to selling the tender
documents, is managed solely by the PMC. The society committee does not hold any rights over the
expenditure incurred for publishing or the revenue generated from tender sales, maintaining the
transparency and independence of the process.
3) Submission of Tender
Upon the expiry of the tender advertisement period, a specific day is designated for contractors to
submit their completed tender documents to the society. Contractors who have purchased the
tender documents are required to return them fully filled within this timeframe. The submissions
typically include two components: a technical bid, detailing the contractor’s qualifications,
experience, and technical approach, and a commercial bid, outlining the financial proposal. This
organized submission process ensures uniformity and facilitates a fair evaluation of all bids
received.
4) Technical Evaluation
The PMC, in collaboration with the society committee, conducts a technical evaluation meeting to
assess the technical bids submitted by the contractors. During this review, each bid is carefully
examined against the established technical criteria for the project. Contractors with incomplete
documents, insufficient qualifications, inadequate experience, or non-compliance with the specified
terms and conditions are disqualified at this stage. For the remaining qualified contractors, the PMC
prepares a detailed technical evaluation table, outlining their credentials and compliance levels.
This report is then submitted to the society committee for review and further consideration.
5) Opening of Commercial Bids
The commercial bids of contractors ranked favorably in the technical evaluation are opened next.
These bids are collected and documented by the PMC, ensuring transparency and accuracy. A
detailed comparative analysis table is then prepared, summarizing the rates and financial proposals
submitted by the contractors. This analysis is provided to the society committee for their review,
enabling an informed decision on the most suitable contractor for the project.
6) Technical Interviews of Selected Vendors
In a joint committee meeting with the PMC, the most promising contractors, identified through
technical and commercial evaluations, are shortlisted for technical interviews. These interviews are
conducted to thoroughly assess each contractor's technical expertise, understanding of the project,
and ability to deliver as per the requirements. Contractors who fail to meet the expected standards
during this stage are eliminated from further consideration, ensuring only the most capable
vendors proceed to the final stages of selection.
7) Site Visits for Contractor Assessment
Following the technical interviews, the best 3 to 5 contractors are shortlisted. To further evaluate
their capabilities, surprise visits are conducted to two of their project sites. These include one site
where work was completed three to five years ago and another ongoing project. This thorough
inspection helps assess the quality of their past work, current workmanship, and adherence to
professional standards. These visits provide valuable insights into the contractors’ reliability, skills,
and overall performance.
8) Final Negotiations
Contractors who excel in the technical and professional evaluations, site visits, and overall
assessment are invited to the society premises for final negotiations. During this stage, the terms
and conditions of the project are discussed and finalized. This process ensures mutual agreement
on all aspects of the contract, paving the way for a clear and transparent working relationship
between the selected contractor, the society, and the PMC.
9) Contractor Finalization
Once the tender process is complete, the contractor who has excelled in all stages of evaluation is
formally notified by the committee. All necessary contracts and project-related documents are then
prepared and executed. The selected contractor is officially appointed to undertake the building
repair and painting work for the society, marking the commencement of the project under the
supervision of the PMC.
PHASE III Work Execution Stage
Quality assurance is of utmost importance in the new, quality-conscious scenario. Systems are developed and upgraded continuously to achieve the best quality. Supervision is a specialized task, which can only be gained through experience. Experienced and specially trained engineers will be made available.
