Project Information
1) Project Duration : (92 Days)
a) Date of Capstone Project commencement (18th Dec 2017)
b) Date of Capstone Project Completion (20th Mar 2018)
2) Topic
Modern Methods Adopted in Construction Industry

3) Project Objective
The capstone project presents a major piece of guided independent research on a topic agreed between
the student and their supervisor. It typically involves a literature review and an appropriate form of critical
analysis of sources of primary and /or secondary data; it may involve field and/or laboratory work. The capstone
project must show evidence of wide reading and understanding, of critical analysis and/or appropriate use of
advanced research techniques. The purpose is to enable the student to develop deeper knowledge,
understanding, capabilities and attitudes in the context of the programme of study. A thesis should be written
at the end of the programme and offers the opportunity to delve more deeply into and synthesize knowledge
acquired in previous studies. Evaluation of the capstone project would be as per NTCC Guidelines.

4) Methodology to be adopted

Identifying scope of work – Introduction and background

Literature review.
Research design.
Data collection & analysis.
Discussion and conclusion.
Learnings and suggestions.

5) Brief Summary of project

The Indian construction industry is repeatedly criticized for being inefficient and slow to innovate. The
basic methods of construction, techniques and technologies haven’t changed much. Every construction project
is different, every site is a singular prototype, construction works are located in different places, and involve
the constant movement of personnel and machinery. Incorporating modern construction technology into
practice can increase levels of quality, efficiency, safety, sustainability and value for money. However there is a
conflict between traditional industry methods and innovative new practices, and this is often blamed for the
relatively slow rate of technology transfer within the industry.
Modern methods of construction are about better products and processes. They aim to improve
business efficiency, quality, customer satisfaction, environmental performance, sustainability and the
predictability of delivery timescales. Modern methods of construction are, therefore, more broadly based than
a particular focus on product. They engage people to seek improvement, through better processes, in the
delivery and performance of construction.
