Infrastructure Project Lifecycle Workflow


The workflow begins when a government authority or private sector organization announces a tender for an infrastructure project such as Railway, Metro, Airports or maintenance services. The Business Development team identifies the opportunity through tender portals, direct invitations, or client communication and registers the tender in the system. This record captures key details including client information, scope of work, submission deadlines, eligibility requirements and estimated project value. After an internal feasibility review, management decides whether to participate in the bid.

Once approved to proceed, a project is initiated in the system for estimation purposes. The estimation and planning teams study the tender drawings, technical specifications and contractual terms. A detailed Bill of Quantities (BOQ) is prepared or validated based on the tender documents. The BOQ is then structured into a job cost sheet where projected costs are categorized under materials, labour and overheads. Quantity take offs are verified, labour productivity is estimated, equipment utilization is planned and risk provisions are considered. Based on these inputs, a comprehensive cost estimation is prepared, including markup and target profit margins.

After internal technical and commercial approvals, a formal quotation or bid proposal is generated and submitted to the client within the tender deadline. If the bid is successful and the contractor is awarded the project, the quotation is converted into a confirmed sales order. A formal contract agreement is then prepared and signed, defining scope, timelines, payment terms, retention percentage, advance payment conditions and change order procedures. If the contract includes an advance payment clause, an advance invoice is generated as per agreed terms. At this stage, the financial structure of the project is configured, including retention rules.

Once the contract is executed, the project becomes active and the Project Manager creates job orders to break down the scope into manageable work packages such as excavation, structural works, electrical installations, plumbing, finishing, or other infrastructure components. These job orders serve as execution units for planning, cost tracking, and performance monitoring. Site engineers raise material requests based on work requirements, procurement officers issue purchase orders to approved vendors, and upon delivery the store department updates inventory records. Vendor bills are recorded by the finance team, and actual material costs are posted automatically to the projects job cost sheet.

Labour activities are managed through daily timesheets recorded by supervisors, capturing workforce hours allocated to specific job orders. These labour entries are converted into actual labour hours in real time. Equipment required for execution is registered and allocated to job orders, and equipment usage costs are absorbed into the project. If maintenance related tasks arise during execution, maintenance requests are logged, inspections and checklists are completed, materials are planned and requisitioned, and the task is closed after completion.

Risk management is ongoing throughout the project lifecycle. Potential risks are identified and documented, and if incidents occur, they are recorded against the relevant job orders and resolved through corrective actions. When scope variations arise due to design changes, site conditions, or client instructions, a change request is initiated. The Project Manager reviews the change internally and submits it to the client for approval. Once approved, the contract or sales order is revised to reflect the updated scope and financial impact.

The workflow includes a flexible subcontractor management process that supports two financial approaches based on the project requirement and contract type. Subcontractors are assigned through job orders to handle specialized activities, and their work progress is tracked within the project. For long-term or progress-based work, the system uses a Vendor IPC (Interim Payment Certificate) flow, where completed work is certified through IPCs, approved, and then converted into vendor bills with applicable retention and advance adjustments before payment. Alternatively, for fixed-scope or short-term tasks, a standard Purchase Order to Vendor Bill flow is followed, where a purchase order is issued, and vendor bills are generated based on delivered services or quantities and validated against the PO before payment. This dual approach ensures flexibility, accurate cost tracking, and proper financial control for all types of subcontractor engagements within Infrastructure projects. Daily site logs are prepared by site engineers to record progress, manpower deployment, equipment usage, weather conditions and any site issues. These logs are submitted to the Project Manager for review and documentation.

Billing activities occur after contractual setup and measurable work progress. Advance invoices are issued at the beginning if agreed in the contract. As execution progresses, Interim Payment Certificates are prepared based on certified quantities of completed work. Progress invoices are generated reflecting work done, retention deductions, and advance recovery as per contractual terms. All actual costs from materials, labour, equipment and subcontractors are continuously posted to the job cost sheet, enabling real time profitability monitoring and cost control. Upon project completion, a final invoice is generated, retention is released according to agreement and the project is financially closed once all contractual and financial obligations are fulfilled.
