Chairman Speech at the Annual board meeting
(22 March 2018)

 

We started Progressive from very humble beginning in 1976 as a construction contracting organisation by taking up small subcontracts, building extensions and repair works. We are proud to say that in the past four decades, we have executed a wide variety of projects with esteemed list of client and consultant across pan India region.

No doubt, the last three years were challenging. But from this year onwards the volumes have expanded based on our re-diversifications into infrastructure and considerable investments in modern machinery. We have now consolidated our efforts into two major verticals of industrial buildings and infrastructure development. We have also diversified our existing work portfolio of repairs & interiors into a separate entity.

Human resources had always been the cornerstone of the organisation and we have further invested in training of staff and providing new onsite job opportunities. We are implementing new processes and technologies by  adhering to ISO standards and regulations. Recent implementation of Google cloud services have brought in a huge transformation in the way we execute our project. 

I am also happy that lot of organisations have now started recognising that "organised contracting" is much more different from just contracting. There is an ample scope for experienced contractors to provide value addition to a project in terms of design, construction scheduling, use of materials, methodology and  documentation thereby helping clients in cost and speed of actual construction. With government regulation such as RERA in place, it shifts the focus to from delay to deliverables.

I am confident that the blend of renewed focus, new technologies, along with ambitious and experienced team ensures a bright future of our organization.
