1.5 Observation on Performance of the Organization

Tudawe Brothers Ltd is a leading construction firm in Sri Lanka and construct all types of
construction including water supply schemes, drainage and sewerage work and property
development .. Etc. These days they are doing lot of project successfully. According to my
experience the success of the company gain from output of group of entire staff. They have well
experienced management and technical staff in construction field.

During few last projects they earn lot of profit. But Engineer, Assistant Engineer gets relatively
lesser salary than Senior Engineer, some times less than skill labor. Engineers, Assistant Engineers
wont remain in the company after having experience. So it is disadvantage to the company.

Training Report Introduction of the training organization

Another week point is they always give the work to another sub contractor. Due to that reason
they loss profit and supervisor cant directly handle the work. Some time engineers feel very
uncomfortable when they are in field.

In Silkot site, re-bar & form work sub contractors dont want to do job correctly. Only thing they
want to go fast. More times they argue with site managers also. Therefore some times inspection
failed. It influence to company glory.

1.6 Suggestions to Improve the Efficiency of the Organization

Considering above observation, I can suggest getting deferent work

Staff should be paid well, because the success of the business depends on staff. The staff has
involved various types of work. But they pay monthly basis. Even they work hard. They get some
allowances at the end of the month. So, I think the incentive scheme should be rearranged with
considering their performance.

Our company salary scheme is not good for hard working staffs. That means they are giving over
time as maximum hours 60 in one month. If they worked more than 60 hours they cant earn
anything. But in our site most of the staffs are working more than 60 hours. In other leading
companies are paying for unlimited over time. If they develop a good scheme that is better for
staff and the company.

Organization should try to do the work not giving every thing subcontractor, they should manage
work along otherwise they can not get done the work required quality

Management should be well organized when they are working at site. As an example most of the
time they loaded reinforcement at site for work month ahead. So it is difficult to sort rebar for
each job. And also rebar will be corroded. It causes the delay of work.

There should be at least two subcontractors for each job rebar and formwork. Otherwise site
manager cant get any action against them.
