Balancing demands of Tier 1 and Tier 2/3 cities necessitates an adaptive approach

Project management typically involves a great deal of adaptation – to the city or town in question, site conditions, stakeholder necessities and prevailing norms. Today, though, specialised software is increasingly coming to the rescue, in terms of collaborative workflow and ensuring timely project delivery. Prashant Joshi, Vice President, J Kumar, tells us more on his company’s approach – and the industry’s outlook – in tackling project management challenges.

What is the major difference in projects in Tier 2 and 3 cities and metros like Mumbai?
In Tier 1 cities like Mumbai, the company encounters heightened complexities such as severe traffic congestion, intricate utility infringement issues, stringent working hour constraints and compliance with strict environmental norms. The densely populated urban landscape of Mumbai poses challenges in logistics, with limited space for construction activities, leading to increased traffic disruption. Utility infringement becomes a critical concern owing to the intricate network of existing infrastructure, necessitating meticulous planning to avoid disruptions to essential services. Additionally, strict regulations often impose constraints on working hours, requiring careful scheduling and coordination to meet project timelines. These complexities underscore the need for precision and adaptability in managing projects in Tier 1 cities compared to Tier 2 and 3 locations. On the other hand, projects in Tier 2 and 3 cities may involve more greenfield development, potentially with simpler logistics and regulatory frameworks. While they may require attention to local nuances, the scale and complexity could be comparatively lower. Access to resources, skilled labour, and local community engagement may vary, influencing project dynamics. Balancing the diverse demands of Tier 1 and Tier 2/3 cities necessitates a flexible and adaptive approach to meet the unique challenges of each geographical setting.
