No and the major reason is most managers want to be directors and directors the managing directors. This leaves the actual work on people who simply said, do not have an option, as the buck has stopped. . 

  There is a two mason one labour theory about construction in India.

The rationale is one mason can smoke Bidi while mortar and bricks get supplied to one in turns. And when labourer wants a break surely everone can relax. 

And almost entire Government work happens under above rules of guidance of course some private companies as well have good learners.

I think for a project three things play an important role-Money/Time/Completion date.the things is that proper planning should be done for every aspect taking some days as buffer safety stock;so that if in anywhere the time slips the buffer safety days can be used for the same.

Dear it is only PROPER PLANNING-FOLLOW UP AND COORDINATION.

Construction process in India is very inefficient, builders of middle east and china laugh at us. Recently I read about a 15 story hotel being built in china in just 6 days, they used pre fabricated components. Well time is money. We don't have trained people in construction industry. We can only hope for reformed laws to prevent builder corruption and techs such as prefab buildings and robotic gantry 3d printing cranes to our rescue.

Dear Mr Kandavel Raja,

Your comments indicate to be on wrong side of column, as you seem to agree there is a time wastage. The problem is most Indian Managers and above feel their job is limited to design plan in air-conditioned offices and at best once in a longwile take stroll through work site and fire at the real workers for all delays and deficiencies. it never seems to occur to most that if technology can allow a laptop to be carried with macro level project details to site it has to made use of, by being at site and assessing frequently and course-correcting.

Project Schedules can be met with aclear vision of the end results, a proper planning of all the important stages, the resources, all possible constraints in the development & execution stages and above all a zeal to excel high level of co-ordination amogst the team at all levels as also the zeal to achieve targets set at the planning stage and dedication to perform amongst the whole team

Most of the time no. Construction projects especially in India never have any time constraint. Since there is a huge demand and growth seen in infrastructure projects utilizing time will help in efficient results.

According to my view its difficult to plan and prioritize in construction projects. Its happen because of lack of manpower,delay of supply of raw material and weather condition. so i think utilization of time is very difficult in construction project.
