"On time" means the certified completion date, not the press release. One project in 28 ran late — a 2019 mall, 11 weeks, monsoon flooding plus a contractor default. I list it because you'd find it anyway.

Disciplines

What I run on site

Execution & sequencing

Pour cycles, shuttering rotation, crane time, monsoon planning. A tower is a rhythm — my job is keeping the beat when weather, vendors and drawings all miss theirs.

7-day slab cycle held, 8 floors

Quality & QA/QC

Cube registers, rebar inspections, pour cards, NCR closure. Concrete doesn't accept apologies — it accepts cover blocks, vibration and curing, checked every time.

0 structural NCRs in 12 years

Safety leadership

Height work permits, toolbox talks in three languages, and the unpopular decisions — stopping a pour at 4 p.m. because the shoring didn't look right. It wasn't.

4.2M man-hours, 0 fatalities

Contracts & billing

RA bills, BOQ deviations, extra-item claims, subcontractor reconciliation. The technical half wins the site; this half keeps the project solvent.

₹34 Cr claims settled, documented

Planning & MSP

Baseline programmes, look-ahead schedules, catch-up plans that crews actually follow — because they were built with the foremen, not emailed to them.

26 of 28 projects on/ahead

Client & consultant liaison

Weekly reviews, design-query turnaround, the honest flag raised early. Clients renew with engineers whose bad news arrives before it becomes expensive.

Clients & consultants say

Structural consultant

"Harish is the only site man who calls me before the problem, not after. The stopped pour in 2022 — his call, against every commercial pressure on that site — is why I take his projects."

Principal, structural consultancy, PuneWorked together on 4 projects

Client project head

"His weekly reports say what's actually happening — including what's late and whose fault it is, his own included. After two decades of contractor optimism, that's worth more than any Gantt chart."
