Communication requirement and flow: As discussed above the breakdown in an organization can be categorized precisely under four departments namely, Planning &Infrastructure department Finance & Marketing department Quality & Maintenance department and Construction department

The functions of all the above departments are explained elaborately below: PLANNING & INFRASTRUCTURE DEPARTMENT: The Planning team would work on the Layout, Town Planning and Connectivity. The Infrastructure team would ensure that the basic infrastructure like Water and Electricity is made available to the units. The intention to club these two divisions is based on logical interpretation of the basic tenets on which the two teams work. A coordinative effort between these two divisions will ensure that the product is ready for the execution team to deliver. FINANCE & MARKETING DEPARTMENT: The team will work around the year to ensure that the required cash flows are maintained and also to ensure that the work doesnt get affected due to the inherent issues of managing the project. Employees in the Manager level will ensure that all the required books are to do the book keeping and also execute the plans of the General Managers. The General Managers are to ensure that the plans are made keeping in mind the vision and direction set by the Project Manager

QUALITY DEPARTMENT: The Quality Team will have a structure as follows: Quality Control plays a very vital role in a project. Hence, it would be critical to have a Quality team member involved in every critical aspect of the project. A team member would be involved in the Planning and Infrastructure, one team member in Architecture and one in Execution. A team member of the cadre of an AGM would ensure that the Managers who look after the individual portfolios execute the plans according to the vision and direction of the Program Manager. EXECUTION & CONSTRUCTION DEPARTMENT: The primary thing that has to be realized is that execution is a very critical team for the success of the organization. This team has to be closely monitored and should also be given enough flexibility to allow intelligent deviations from the plan and also should be flexible enough to incorporate the changing conditions in the environment.

Thus it is very clear from the flow chart that in the field of construction there is no Unidirectional flow of orders or communication it is a must that for an efficient project there is a must that all should know about what happenings around them so as that the problems can be discussed and hurdles are overcome. So as a result the client is pleased and at the same times the work progress is also maintained at the same ratio. As a result for the company time efficiency is gained which at the days end earns a lot of profit and fame for the concern. Recommendations: The structure proposed for the organization of the knowledge based on the Document, Processes, Elements and Basic Materials trees for a small building company has enabled the relation to be made among Materials, Services and Suppliers. A real example was used based on the quality documents obtained from one company. Later, other documents used by the company may be included. This will allow for the registration of experiences. The organized and integrated knowledge originated from a classification structure can work as a professional habilitation/updating tool, capable of integrating the knowledge of the area under consideration. Moreover, it can contribute to the strengthening of the technical history of the company and work as a channel to disseminate this knowledge to its collaborators. The Recommendations include: Ensuring the early involvement of key project team members that have expert knowledge so that an appropriate level of client satisfaction and value can be defined. Establishing of subcontractor and supplier relationships by selecting teams based on value rather than lowest price. Managing the project parameters of cost, schedule, quality, and H&S in unison. Working together as a team to agree mutual goals and devise dispute resolution mechanisms.
