ABSTRACT:

This Project Report is about managing finance in developing and building a

construction facility in a land of area 10,000 sq m. Then above mentioned

construction project is divided in two no. of stages:-

Developing facility on a 5,000 sq.m. for a charitable trust

comprising of housing and health facilities.

Developing 5,000 sq.m. of area as a cost of development

Succeeding report highlights the financial viability of the construction project.

Extracting profit from the project through financial planning is the main
feature of this project report.

INTRODUCTION:
Construction Project is a mission, undertaken to create a unique facility, product or service

within the specified scope, quality, time and costs. Project can also be defined as

organisation and performance of resources such as men, money, machinery, materials,

space and technology into logical sequence of activities

Finance management in a construction project is mainly related with planning various

activities in the project right from the start to the end of the project. A developer must be

fully aware about all the key financial aspects of construction.. He must be able to control

financial flows in an orderly manner for reaping the results in form of profits..

Profit from the project can be harvested by considering, implementing and following the

points stated as under:-

Reducing the cost of construction.

 Minimising any kind of wastage whether in term of material or in the form

of people time.

Planning the activities prior they actually start at the site.

Scheduling tasks.

Planning and controlling the project.

Arranging fianaces at right time when requires.

Closely monitoring the expenses of the project.

Al though the main aim of a developer is to earn profit from the

project by it should be remembered that profit should not be

earned at the cost of quality, durability and aesthetics values of

construction.

FIANCIAL VIABILITY OF PROJECT

Most construction projects start with a need to have a new facility long before

designers start designs and drawing of the projects and certainly before field

construction work can commence. Elements of this phase include:

- Conceptual analysis.

- Technical and feasibility studies and

- Environmental impact reports.

Here the project is divided in two stages first developing & building facility for

a charitable trust and using 5,000 sq. m area of land free as a cost of

production.

As the developer has to earn profit by investing in the land of 5,000 sq. m area

the best investment feasible is by building a housing society.

As developer can invest only Rs 10 lakhs from his own fund and loan of

maximum Rs 50 lakhs can me taken from bank there is a financial constrain in

developing the above mentioned construction project.

So keeping in mind the financial constrain constructing, housing

building in only half of the available land i.e. 2500 sq. m of land is the most

suited economical option. As the land is located at prime location of Pune, so

flat of the purposed residential building can be sell at higher prices earning a

good profit margin for the developer.

The residential building will be three storey building to be built on a space on

an area of 500 sq.m X 500sq.m. Ground floor of the building will be meant for

two wheeler and four wheeler parking.

The Proposed residential building will comprise of:-

S.No. ITEMS QANTITY

1. 3 BHK Flats 3 , one on each floor
2. 2 BHK Flats 6 , two on each floor

3. Balcony 3, one for each floor

4. Lobby 3, one for each floor
5. staircase -----------
6. Parking lot At ground level
7. Guard room 1 at ground level adjacent to
entrance gate

All 3 BHK flats will be front facing and linked with the other two no. 2 BHK

flat via. a lobby. Balcony will be provided at all three no. 3 BHK flats. Flats

will be constructed and then will be fully furnished. Fully furnished flats will

then be ready for selling to the costumers with ready to move option

Conclusion: - As flats to be constructed are spacious, parking facilities along

with security is also been provided so flat will going to attract the potential

buyers easily. Posh location will also add to the amount on which flats can

be sell. So developing a residential building on a free of cost land and selling

the flats of the building is a sure sort assurance of profit. So this investment
 on this construction project is a totally win win situation for the developer

and positively promises the profit.

TECHNICAL STUDIES

a.) Cost of construction

Now a day the rates of all Basic Materials used in Construction is

increasing at a high pace, and hence the cost of Construction is always

on the rise. Since all materials used for construction are in high demand

and supply is correspondingly low there is always a point where material

is priced higher by the retailer in order to increase his margin. Therefore

in the planning stage itself the quantities have to be worked out and

materials have to be ordered early in order to avoid the loss by spending

higher amounts at various stage of Construction. Hence the Finance

Manager needs to foresee such circumstances before the

commencement of the project, in order to achieve the projected Profit

Margin set up at the initial stage or at least try to be as close as possible.

Calculating the cost of construction is also helpful in the financial

management and planning as it gives the idea that how much finance

will probably will required for developing the project.

Break-Up of Cost of Construction is listed in the table given below:-

S. NO. ITEMS TOTAL COST

10. Water Storage 30,0000

11. Electricals 80,0000

Grand Total 8,000,000

b.) Manpower requirements/costs

For the execution of such a project, the Manpower requirement is very

high and hence the whole project needs to be analysed and phased out

in order to obtain maximum output from the labour and planning the

area of work without much hindrance throughout the site, and easy flow

of labour and material stacking accessible in order to reduce the work

force and in turn make the project cost effective.

Also the cost of labour force i.e. both skilled and unskilled has increased

drastically since few years now. The main drawback for the projects

which suffer on account of delay etc. is due to lack of Manpower which

is in acute shortage. Hence the planning needs to be done accordingly.

c.) Design adequacy and alternatives

The project Design is the main criteria on which the whole budget as

well as the end profit depends. So the design of the structure always

needs to be handled at the highest priority and enough time given to the

designer to make use of all the objectives to maximize the profit by using

as much of the Permissible F.A.R. possible.

Also care needs to be taken during designing that the whole project

should be very impressive and should be able to suit the conditions

comfortably in order to find buyers very easily in terms of looks as well

as funds both and apartments so designed should suit the requirements

of the buyer.
The Design should be in such a manner that the buyers can also relate

and be able to comfortably alter a few things in such a way so as to not

disturb the structure or its elevations etc.

d.) Work schedule on quarterly basis

Working out the Task & Time schedule of a project in preliminary stages

is must for the accurate financial planning. Main motive of a work

schedule is to break down the construction activities to be carried out

for a project in the form of various tasks, stating the specific time to be

consumed for the planned tasks.

For this project a total time period of 2 years has been considered and

all the construction activities will be carried out in this tenure. Project

start date is fixed on 15/08/11 and commissioning of project is

scheduled on 15/08/13. So Project activities is divided in to four

quarterly phases namely Phase-I, Phase-II, Phase-III & Phase-IV, each

phase covers a period of 8 to 4 months depending on the activities

carried in the respective phase.

 Break-Up of Work Schedule is listed in the table given below:-

 FINANCIAL AND ECONOMICS EVALUATION:

Financial management is mainly concerned with management of funds

i.e. management of monetary issues. There are two basic aspects of
financial management viz procurement of funds and an effective use of
these funds.

a.) Total Investments cost

Primary step in financial planning of a project is to estimate total

investment cost involved in the development of project. Investment cost

of project is the sum of following costs stated as under:-

Land Cost - It involves the cost required to acquire the land on

which construction of housing colony is to be carried out.

Raw Material Cost - It comprises cost of raw material required

for construction like cement, TMT bars for reinforcement,

aluminum & wooden frames, tiles, electrics, sanitary wares etc.

Construction Cost - All money spend for carrying construction

activities add on to form this cost.

 Manpower Cost - Cost of recruiting skilled and non-skilled

employees contribute to this type of cost.

S. NO. COST BREAK-UP REMARKS INVOLVED COST

(Rs.)

1. Land Cost Not Applicable As 0

Land Was Free

2. Raw Material Cost 8,000,000

3. Construction Cost 2,000,000

4. Man Power Cost 2,000,000

Grand Total 12,000,000

Hence the total investment for this Housing Colony Construction Project

is one crore and twenty lakhs i.e. 12,000,000.

b.) Project Financing

Proposed Capital Structure / Loan requirements
One of the major problems facing any business enterprise is that of obtaining

finance and ascertaining the cost of project. Finance can be obtained from

different sources and since finance arranged from different sources have
different characteristics in terms of risk, cost and control. Sources of finance

depend upon the business structure. There are several sources of finance

available for a construction project like:-

Long Term Finance.

Middle Term Finance

Short Term Finance.

As in this Construction Project there are some restrictions in the investment

like:-

Developer can invest only Rs 10 lakhs as his own fund.

Only Rs 50lakhs can be raise as bank loan.

So the rest finance for project i.e. Rs 60 lakhs is to be managed / procure. As

the project duration is of 2 years and developer seeks early and quick profit

Middle term and Short Term Finance seems to be the feasible options.
 Types of finance considered for the Construction project are stated as

under:-

Middle Term Finance

Loans from Banks - Primary role of banks is to cater to the finance

requirement of a project. Usually bank charges 15 % of interest rate in

financing such type of construction project. So

amount of Rs. 50 lakhs will be managed from the bank in

the form of loan for a period of 2 years.

Lease Financing Leasing is a general contract between the owner and user

of the asset over a specified period of time. The asset is purchased initially

by the lessor and thereafter leased to the lersco company. As for this

project total available land is 5000 sq m and only 2500 sq m of land has

been used to develop the project the remaining land of 2500 sq m can be

use as a lease item and finance can be managed from that. So after giving

the land on lease for 5 years Rs 40 lakhs can be generated.

Short Term Finance

 Advance From Customers As this Construction Project comprises a

housing colony in which flats are to be constructed for selling to the

costumer, money can be generated from the potential costumers in the

form of advance down payment for booking the flats. Hence remaining fund

for the Project i.e. Rs 20 lakhs can be generated.

Interest Calculations

As only Rs 50 lakhs is been taken loan from banks on 15 % of interest for

5 years so only this amount is subjected to the interest

Total amount - Rs. 5.000,000

Rate of interest - 15 %

Years -2

Total; interest amount to be paid = (5,000,000 x 15 x 2 ) / 100

= 15,00,000

So total amount paid to the bank as interest is Rs 15 lakhs

c.) Cash Flow Management
Cash Flow management basically deals with inflow and outflow of cash
during a particular time.

Quarterly Break Up of Cash Outflow

S. NO. PHASES Amount Sink

1. Phase I 4,800,000 Foundations Work

2. Phase II 1,600,000 Flooring & Frame work

3. Phase III 5,00,000 Pipe Fitting Work

4. Phase IV 1,100,000 Electrical & Finishing work

5. Cumulative Construction cost 2,000,000

for all 4 phases

6. Cumulative Man Power cost for 2,000,000

all 4 phases

7. Interest amount payable to bank 1,500,000

Grand Total 13,500,000

 Quarterly Break Up of Cash Inflow

S. NO. PHASES Amount Source

1. Phase I 4,800,000 25 lakhs(Bank) + 5 lakhs(own fund) + 18

lakhs(lease amount)

2. Phase II 1,600,000 5 lakhs(own fund) + 11 lakhs(lease amount)

3. Phase III 5,00,000 5 lakhs(Bank)

4. Phase IV 1,100,000 11 lakhs(lease amount)

5. Bank Loan 2,000,000 20 lakhs()

6. Costumer advance 2,000,000

7. Flat selling amount 18,000,000

Conclusion

As the total investment for this Construction Project is Rs 1 crore 35 lakhs and

by selling the flats amount of Rs 1crore 18 lakhs has been earned so this

project is fully financially feasible and have potential to reap high profit for the

developer.

Profit calculation
Total cost of project = Rs 13,500,000

A. Total amount earned from the project = I + II = 18,000,000

I. Selling price of 3 nos of 3 BHK flats = 3,000,000 x 3

= 9,000,000.

II. Selling price of 6 nos of 2 BHK flats = 1,500,000 x 6

= 9,000,000

B. Net Profit = B A = 18,000,000-13,500,000 = 4,500,000

C. Profit Percentage = (C x 100) / A = (4,500,000 x 100)/ 13,500,000

= 33.33 % of Profit Earned
