Today, a growing number of industries are roping in project management consultants to acquire knowledgeable assistance for setting up a plant. However, with recent developments like the advent of Industry 4.0, it might be tough to zero in on a skilled consultancy firm which is up to date on the newest technology trends and business strategies. A study published in the Harvard Business Review concludes that 1 out 6 projects fail to satisfy the terms of stipulated time and allotted capital. Apart from project management difficulties, the call for automation is also delivering significant hurdles in generating a practical design that can be established into reality. This creates a need for a project management firm that can deliver optimum support all the way from designing a project to executing the same within the desired time and budget. This is where Sijcon Consultants comes in.
Incorporated in 1961, Sijcon Consultants is catering to its clients with a rich experience of five decades and a knowledgeable workforce. According to Viral Jasubhai, MD, Sijcon Consultants, “We are not a standalone project management consultancy; rather, we are a design house along with being project management consultants, which sets us apart from the majority of other players in the market. When a customer comes to us, he/she primarily expects us to look after the coordination between the drawings, the site, the contractors, and their clients. At Sijcon Consultants, we adopt a four-pronged approach to verify that the project is on track and that there are no project-related difficulties that may cause a delay or cost overrun.”
Over the years Sijcon Consultants has successfully accomplished many complicated projects. For example it began working with Suzuki’s on-site development during the company's substantial investment in Gujarat. The organization assisted Suzuki for about six to eight months to streamline its project requirements, such as material flow, layouts, and utilities, and then to pave the way for their expansion.
Suzuki also had lean production and just-in-time delivery requirements, which added more complications to the project. Sijcon Consultants, on the other hand, was able to successfully achieve the convoluted combination of Suzuki's requirements to suit the Indian environment, and in the end, it was able to commission and roll out the first production line and within budget. Because of the firm’s expertise in the project management segment, prominent firms like Ashok Leyland, Mahindra, Greenply, Hero, and others are among the firm's clients.
End-To-End Consulting
Owing to the rich experience and expertise in the project management field, Sijcon Consultants has successfully turned itself into an end-to-end solution provider. The firm is equipped with a team of architects, Civil and Structural designers and engineers in electrical and mechanical along with other segments providing a range of solutions; therefore, allowing the company to deliver complete assistance to its clients in regards to any manner.
“Possessing an experienced workforce enables us to cater to our clients in a simple and easy format. For example - in the time of budget creation, we can give our clients an idea of all the engineering disciplines, therefore providing them an upper hand to draft a viable and valuable budget in advance. Ultimately, we can work with our client’s entire team in all the necessary areas that is essential to address like- planning, architectural, civil, structural, design, electrical, mechanical, and fire safety. We make sure that all of these start working together, so we can help them squeeze the timeline and ultimately finish the project at a much faster pace,” says Viral.
