Solutions that KBY International brings to both vertical and horizontal structures as per the specifications of the customer give a head start and cost saving for the entire project.
 

PROJECT MANAGEMENT / COMMITMENT
 

KBY International has completed various contracts for US Army Corps of Engineers, US Air Force and US Army DPW, British Army, Canadian Army, ATCO Frontec, Australian Army, Dutch Army through over Kabul and Kandahar Air Field. We gained extensive experience in design and building contracts for organizations and we are extremely familiar with the applicable construction regulations and procedures.
 

KBY International through its principle for completion and handing over of undertaken works in scheduled time and achieving employers satisfaction, has demonstrated its reliability and dynamism. The proposed Project Management, duties, responsibilities and details of key management team and organization chart are as follows:
 

PROJECT MANAGEMENT
 

Project Management of KBY will focus mainly on below indicated management points, requiring a special attention before beginning and during the execution of works under the project:
 

1. Project Integration Management to ensure that the various project elements are effectively coordinated: Prior to beginning the project, Gantt chart showing all activities that will be performed step by step up to the completion of project will be prepared. We will divide the project into stages and provide the effective coordination for each stage through sequential processing, parallel processing as well as the staggered processing. In the sequential processing, we suppose to divide the project into separate stages. Many Project segments will be conducted in parallels and carried out simultaneously. Staggered planning assumes that some stages will be overlapping, such as different construction works or designconstruction procedures for the fast operation. With the aim to reach project goals, we will assign and implement the duties and responsibilities of various project participants (subcontractors, suppliers, forwarding companies, etc.). For effective coordination of each project activity, the group/team leaders will coordinate their teams and report to the managers.

At the design-construction stage, projects will be prepared according to most recent editions of  US Standards  or other standards. Thus, we will meet the requirements of the scope of work and we will get the approval of the Authority.
 

2. Project Scope Management to ensure that all work required (and only the required work) is included: We studied the work described in Scope of Work and Technical Requirements of solicitation documents and will accomplish our projects.
 

3. Project time management to provide an effective project Schedule: the detailed Gantt chart developed for our projects will be finalized after the contract award at the beginning stage. Every task of Gantt chart will be clearly owned by team leaders / managers to ensure proper implementation and completion of the task. During the task planning, critical path items will be ear-marked in the schedule with adequate risk mitigation procedures to ensure the project does not slip the planned schedule. The project will be split into many subprojects that will be split into activities and tasks.
 

4. Environmental management plan:An environmental site assessment checklist shall be used as the tool to identify risks to the environment associated with the scope of the work being undertaken by KBY International Construction Co.  or our subcontractors. KBY International Construction Co.  will ensure all employees and subcontractors are aware of the prime contractors emergency preparedness plan and procedures on site. The emergency evacuation process, the emergency fire fighting system and the emergency plans for spillage containment shall be included in all site inductions.

 

5. Project Quality and Safety Management: Quality control and safety are essential matter in construction works. Our quality philosophy is to perform the work at once and in time. The QC process starts during the planning and design stage since some construction plans may be turned out difficult and dangerous to implement, whereas others may considerably reduce the possibility of accidents. All Project staff will be responsible for qualified and safety execution of work. An input control shall be executed to all materials delivered on site for our projects and before the use of these materials in work. All supplied materials will be checked to ensure zero defects in delivered goods. The use of non-conforming material will not be allowed. The Quality Control Engineer shall be notified by receiving personnel when material arrives on site. If the receiving inspection is not performed at the time the material arrives onsite, the shipment will be tagged "Hold" and/or placed in a segregated “Holding Area” until the receiving inspection has been completed. Damage or “Variations” will be detailed on the shipping documents and the supplier and/or owner notified. The Quality Control Engineer shall determine the action to be taken. No materials will be used for construction without preliminary coordination with Employer including any works like architectural, structural, electrical, plumbing, etc, will be started without coordination with Employer and final approval. The materials will be stored and used according to the manufacturers' instructions. The Quality Control Engineer shall evaluate the storage areas to ensure they meet the requirements. Those items requiring “special storage” shall be listed and their storage requirements specified. Quality Control shall ensure protection has been provided as specified. Warehousing and lay-down areas shall be controlled in such a manner as to ensure that the correct materials are issued to authorized personnel and to prevent the use of incorrect, not tested or defective materials, parts and components from being installed. Safety largely depends upon education, consciousness and cooperation during the construction process. Therefore, all workers prior to joining the project team will be trained in order to reduce work accidents, injuries and illness. All works will be coordinated between group leaders and workers will be constantly alerted to the possibilities of accidents and avoid unnecessary risks.

Necessary measures will be taken to provide the safety of workers and work. The site area will be enclosed with fences and the entrances will be taken under control. The site area will be kept clean and tidy during the implementation of works by developing adequate methods, and if it is needed a crew will be formed.

All company managers take responsibility for maintaining and improving quality control. The project team works together on quality, health and safety problems by suggesting new work methods, by avoiding rework, by avoiding long- term problems. During the construction process itself, a set of standard practices including but not limited to below indicated, will be applied:

1. Report unsafe conditions

2. Promptly report all accidents/injuries/incidents to supervisor

3. Dress properly. Wear appropriate work clothes, gloves, and shoes or boots. Loose clothing and jewelry shall not be worn

4. Operate machines or other equipment only when all guards and safety devices are in place and in proper operating condition

5. Keep all equipment in safe working condition. Never use defective tools or equipment

6. Report any defective tools or equipment

7. Properly care for and be responsible for all personal protective equipment (PPE). Wear or use any such PPE when required.

8. Lockout or disconnect power on any equipment or machines before any maintenance and adjustments are made.

9. Do not leave materials in walkways, stairways, work areas, roadways or other points of egress.

10. Practice good housekeeping at all times.

Inspection

With the aim to maintain a high level of quality control, inspections will be performed by the KBY’s QC and Safety Engineers (preferably with Employer’s QA/QC officer) in conjunction with for the following items:

- Preparatory / Site Survey, Structural - prior to closure of structural members or connections, Electrical, Plumbing and HVAC, Preliminary and Final inspections will be conducted as required.

6. Project human resource management to development and effectively employ project personnel: Our general model is to appoint the qualified, trained, fluently English speaking personnel experienced in Military construction projects, having knowledge of military construction rules and the regulations, experienced in work with military, state and private organizations, worked in similar by nature projects, familiar with local conditions in Afghanistan and experienced in working with Afghani personnel. The same model will be applied all projects. The responsibilities and duties of key project management staff are described in part Project Management Team. During the execution of works under our projects, design, electrical and mechanical  technicians will be used. KBY is committed to use local laborers in our work whenever possible to maximize economic benefit to the local population, gather local support and train receptive locals for future opportunities. We presently employ Afghani workers in our operations in Afghanistan.
 

7. Project communications management to ensure effective internal and external communication.: Proper and timely communication and coordination are some of the most important tasks of Project Management. Therefore, the Management team for our projects speaks fluent English. Responsible coordinating all activities within the group and being reported to Project Manager and /or Chiefs will be assigned for each small group. All responsible will report to Project Manager. In order to ensure the immediate resolving of daily issues in working order the following techniques will be accomplished by KBY:

- Daily progress reports from managers (including QC and Health and Safety Engineers, Logistics responsible, etc.) to Site Manager, who will prepare the Summary report for final submission to Project Manager and Senior Management

- On-line meetings between Project Manager and Senior Management

- Weekly on-site coordination meetings with project management staff of KBY.

- Weekly meetings with Employer for discussion of progress reports.

- Different terms of immediate communication like e-mail and cell phones

The established open-door policy allows keeping the highest level of on-site management and receiving useful reports. No reports will be ignored and actions, if necessary, will be taken. Interpreter/translator will be employed with the aim of proper communication with Afghani personnel foreseen for our projects.
 

8. Project risk management to analyze and mitigate potential risks: There are many different types of risks that may occur during the project implementation.

KBY International realized the importance of community support and employing as many locals as possible in management, skilled labor and standard labor positions. This enhances project security when the local community feels some ownership in the project. The risks related to organizational relationships may appear to be quite real. Whenever strained relationships are developed between project members the Group / Team Leaders (of Project Manager if required) focuses on solving the problems. Cooperation and communication between the project members and elimination of problems is one of the most important aims of Group / Team Leaders and Project Manager.
 

9. Project procurement management to obtain necessary resources from external sources: The availability of material and equipment warehouses in Kabul and Kandahar Airfield allows us to keep materials in stock and deliver them in accordance with work schedule. Also, the existence of our approved suppliers allows us to purchase required materials in quantity and quality necessary for the project. We know by experience that many project delays may be caused by the unavailability of materials in the manufacturers stock. Therefore for each project we make a minimum stock list and when the inventory becomes close to our minimum requirements of the list we immediately arrange a delivery of materials either to the construction site or to our warehouse.

• - Procurement – We pay a serious attention to procurement and logistics management. By the tender preparation, detailed purchasing plan for the project is developed. In coordination between Procurement and Logistics Department in Main Office in Turkey and KAF branch office, necessary materials will be purchased and delivered to the site.
• - Delivery on time – We have strategically placed logistics personnel in the border towns, experienced in moving goods across the borders, and have sources for materials, and means for their rapid delivery, in Turkey, Europe, USA.
• - Local Market – We have experienced local people in the city to find the material in the shortest time to deliver to the site as per the project scope under control of technical office department at KAF
  
   

10. Value Engineering It is an organized approach to providing the necessary functions at the lowest cost:From the beginning the concept of value engineering was seen to be cost validation exercise, which did not affect the quality of the product. The straight omission of an enhancement or finish would not be considered value engineering. This led to the second definition : It is an organized approach to the identification and elimination of unnecessary cost. Unnecessary cost is Cost which provides neither use, nor life, nor quality, nor appearance, nor customer features.
 

11. Commissioning and handover plan:

KBY International Construction Co. is responsible for developing a Commissioning and Handover Plan, also to ensure that all Commissioning and Handover requirements are addressed and relevant stakeholders consulted as part of the process.

Commissioningverifies that the Works and all relevant systems, equipment and assemblies have been installed, tested, operated and maintained in accordance with the requirements of the relevant contract. Commissioning also includes the Works are built as designed, are certified by a suitably qualified engineer and are fit for the intended purpose.

Commissioning takes place during the construction of the Works, before Completion (as defined in the relevant construction contract) of the Works.

Handover is the stage where responsibility for the Works is passed from the Contractor back to employer. Handover takes place prior to, and at the time of Completion (as defined in the construction contract) of the Works.

There may be minor defects or omissions in the Works but these do not prevent the Works from being reasonably capable of being used for the intended purpose, and can be corrected without prejudicing the convenient use of the Works. Importantly, the risk in the Works passes back to employer.
