There are two major categories in PEC

  1. Consultants

Engineering consultancy firms or companies provide engineering advisory, designs, technical solutions, preparing documentation, coordination, and developing projects plans. In other words engineering, consultants are providing feasibilities and strategic planning for the engineering projects.

  • The basic requirement of owners for the formation of an engineering consultancy firm/company is a professional registered engineer (P.E) with PEC with a minimum of 51% of shares in the company.
  • Second partner of the company at least Registered Engineer (R.E) with PEC or allied professionals having 15 years of professional experience holding University degree. Allied professionals include:
    • Architect or Town Planner

    • Hydrologist
    • Agronomist

  • Consulting companies can’t obtain constructor licenses. PEC doesn’t allow to involve directly or indirectly in the construction field as a contractor.

Constructor companies manage the construction of the project phase after planning and designing. They utilize their practical skills to evaluate the structural, Civil, Electrical, and Mechanical works carefully as per designs. The plans personal and subcontractor’s responsibilities for smooth operations. Constructors also analyze the project’s financial projections to ensure project completion. Simply new constructions and retrofitting lay in the constructor’s scope.

Operator’s companies’ task is to maintain all existing facilities by providing day-to-day operations monitoring and maintenance. Operators are not responsible for new construction, and they are providing services for operations like electromechanical operations in the buildings (facility management), Waste management, parking operations, Toll tax collection operations, and operations on Airports, etc.
