Material Management

Material Management is a crucial part of Project Management which deals with a proper inventory of the incoming materials, their proper storage and effective usage, avoiding all unnecessary wastage. Silicon Engineering’s Material management services team is very efficient when it comes to procurement of materials best suited and as specified by the architect at the most reasonable prices and top class when it comes to quality.

Site Project Management is all about Project Management, Estimation of materials, Cost analysis, Manpower management, Material management, etc. Out of all these, Material management is a huge responsibility, as the safe transportation and storage of materials would determine the shelf life of the materials, which is most important when it comes to an efficient and an economical project.

Silicon Engineering looks into everything concerning material management, from the procurement of the required materials, the safe transportation of the materials, to their proper storage, taking care that the materials are stored very carefully without undergoing deterioration. The different materials that Silicon Engineering procures for a given project are as follows:

• Materials for mass usage- Cement, sand, gravel, etc. (The method of storage for each of these would be according to their individual characteristics.)
• Materials for formwork and shuttering- timber, plywood, steel, etc.
• Materials for masonry- bricks, stone, rubble, etc.
• Materials for cladding- Metal, Glass, Stone, etc.
• Materials for flooring- Wood flooring, Tiled flooring, Resilient, Carpets.
• Materials for Roofing- Mangalore tiles, FRP sheets, AC sheets, etc.
• Reinforcements for RCC work- Mild steel, Tor steel, etc.
• Pipes, Valves, traps, sanitary fittings and fixtures, electrical conduits, wiring, luminnaires, lighting fixtures, etc.
• Prefabricated units and members- Steel Sections, prefabricated panels, etc.
• Materials for finishing-Plaster, Paints, Distempers, etc.
• Equipments needed during construction.- Cranes, Bulldozers, shovels, pickaxes, etc.

Silicon engineering uses a highly advanced automated material requirements planning systems that has all the inventory records, the material schedules in its database, and the materials to be ordered, their quantities, the time taken for each of the materials to be transported, the deadlines etc., can be easily determined. With such an automated system, a detailed record of the inventory of materials can be managed by the site project manager when it comes to Site Project Management. Silicon engineering thus, has the latest technology to make difficult management tasks easy.

The requisitions, bids and quotations, purchase orders and sub-contracts, shipping and receiving document and invoices, all are taken care of Silicon engineering Site Project Management and material management services. Silicon Engineering ensures:

• The early procurement of materials required for the project.
• Procurement of materials at a reasonable cost.
• Excellent Quality of materials.
• Proper transportation and careful storage of materials on site.
• Proper inventory of materials ordered and used.
• Proper management of all materials.

Silicon Engineering ensures a continuous supply of materials, satisfying all demands during period of replenishment, maintaining the consistency in quality at a reasonable rate. Effective Site project Management deals with good planning, organizing, staffing, directing, controlling, reporting, budgeting, skillful negotiations, effective purchases and a good inventory control. Silicon Engineering takes all of this into account when dealing with material management on site.

Procurement of materials involves reviewing the selection of materials, determining the required amount of materials, locating the needs and funds available, choosing the method of procurement, selection of suppliers, specifying contract terms, monitoring the status of the order placed, receiving the order and inspecting the goods after delivery. Silicon Engineering brings a professional touch by procuring materials easily and in an extremely organized way of material management services and Site Project Management.

Thus Silicon Engineering will take care of all your needs in terms of Material management and Site Project Management from planning and organizing to the efficient controlling of the flow of materials to give way to a successful project.
