By the end of 1962 name was changed as Sri Lanka State Corporation and presently it is kn protest as State Engineering Corporation.This is semitrailer government establishment, because of that most of the state project handled by this organization and also it has good composition and popularity due to its grateful services on construction project to the client in all over the country.

They have their own batching plant and Machineries to handle any kind of job.Construction groupThe Construction group has two divisions. They are contracts estimation and construction division. First division is mainly handling pricing BOQ and tendering process. Second division is performing after getting the contract. It carries out all types of heavy and light civil Engineering construction and building construction work for state and private sector.Consultancy groupThe Consultancy group is providing a complete Consultancy services such as Architecture, civil, structural, Electrical Mechanical and quantity surveying.Organization Structure Management StyleThe administration of State Engineering Corporation is instantaneously under the ministry of housing construction. There are one GM, one financial aid GM, and six DGM, under control of MD and well qualified staff.This is a decentralized organization. The objective of decentralization is not only to improve the cogency of the group, merely also to furnish a sense of belonging even to non-technical staff to strive towards the well universe of the group. The organization structure is given in annex 1.The organization mission is to continuously advance their position of leading civil Engineering construction in the country and to build a reput ation for quality speed, efficiency and reliability. To achieve their mission they are having following polices.Maintain the budgeted turnoverExecute all project within timeOptimize return on large(p)Performance of the OrganizationPlanning, Investigation, design and construction of industrial and engineering project in public sector and with the approval of minister in private sector. public presentation as consultant to state corporations and government department for pre mentioned works.Carrying out research with a view to improving existing construction materials and techniques and methods.Training of architect, engineering, quantity surveyors and others technical staffs necessary for carrying out the construction of industrial and engineering projects.Quantity examine SectionState Engineering Corporation consists of a separate Quantity Surveying department through it providing Quantity Surveying services. The Quantity Surveying department is mutually functioning with other se ction. In QS section there are 35 members work together. The chief QS as head of the section senior QS project QS are working under head. The chief QS have the authority of making finis within that field. moment renders professional services in a Quantity Surveyors capacity both in pre contract and post contract stages.The SEC is one of the leading consultancy organizations in the construction Industry. Most of the time projects are obtaining because of the goodwill of the organization past performance in handling of large cast of projects.In accordance with the management point of view synergy concept creates the high efficiency. So the team work is the main concept of this firm. For the concept good kindred between subordinates are very pregnant. SEC firm there is better relationship between subordinates.State Engineering Corporation is a semi government firm and a formal organization. So the decision is coming from top level managers. Because of its higher hierarchy level, the command tasks long time to pass the bottom level of management and works.This is not an avoidable problem in a formal organization, but if top level managers and low level managers have a communication as informal they can minimize this problem.(State Engineering Corporation of Sri Lanka)Medium Size of Construction CompanyRN ConstructionThe RN Constructions (Pvt) Ltd was established in 1996 and within those eight social classs of time it has become one of the leading contractor organizations in the Sri Lankan construction industry today. It has completed more than 150 buildings (over 3,000,000 sq.ft.) within last eight years. RN Constructions has acquired excellence in building constructions such as,Factory buildingsWare house buildingsCommercial buildingsHousing projectsManufacturing plants and bear upon UnitsRN has been in a powerful position of strength, i.e., it has got a group of professionally qualified, experienced in-house staff members are possessed of the high and medium folk of specialized technical positions. Also it has been equipped with large no of construction equipment, machinery and tools.(RN Construction)Organization Structure of RN ConstructionManagement structure of RN construction denotes simply a hyaloplasm structure and it is flat in its nature where trend toward an average number of layers as well as responsibilities are with non-management employees. The following(a) important feature is its narrow span of control. Today it is believed such an organization design like this is more suitable to facilitate the achievements of corporate objectives and implementation of strategies.The organization structure is given in annex 2.RN construction is a recently established organization which building up a good reputation for quality outputs in the industry when compared to the other organization at its own capacity. When considering the organizational structure, it is more applicable to the organization because there is a good relat ionship between higher level of management and the employees at the middle and lower levels of management. It helps to motivate the employees on their works and to develop the loyalty to the organization as well. That is classifiable advantage to the organization to carry out the missions while achieving their goals in the Sri Lankan construction industry.When looking at the organization one weakness that I have set was that lot of pants and machineries were not properly managed among each work site. Hence RN Constructions owns large no of machineries, it is an advantage to the organization to earn higher gelt during the construction. tho I have noticed that most of the machineries were idling at the work site without generating any output to the construction process. This will be directly affects to reduce their extra profit earnings in the long run. Therefore it is better to have a proper resource management on this field of view to minimize the idling and to maximize the prof its in every work output.Small size of construction CompanyPrasadhi constructionPrasadhi construction is among the most prise construction companies in the country. This construction design, finance, built and operates infrastructure and facilities with highest quality, speed and care in a sustainable manner in the most economical way.Prasadhi Construction has shown ability to complete his job no matter how big, how complex or how remote the project, Prasadhi Construction have proven competency over last 25 years.Professional StaffAs an emerging company we provide more than 50 jobs including civil electrical engineers, technical officers, supervisors,Masons.

So in most of the cases we prefer to hire vehicles from our suppliers. But some necessary equipment such asTipper, road roller, Concrete Mixer, Concrete Vibrator, welding plants, generators, water motors are there.Organization StructureOne of most important aspect of any organization is its management structure. Prsadhis management structure is considerably focused on to a modern hierarchical power delegation. The above-mentioned structure consists of 7 Board of Directors including the Chairman. Prasadhi management structure forms a matrix structure and it consists of a centralized and formal authority and wide span of control. part to the organizational structure (Annex-03)Competition in the construction industry often results in low profit margins. Also called long-term assets, these are holdings the business intends to agree for at least a year and that typically yield interest or dividends. Included are stocks, bonds and savings accounts earmarked for special purposes. (Jinnett 1990)ConclusionThis report is establish on investigate three different size of construction business organization.The constructions Professional are the parties that responsible for constructing the project. In traditional management where the owner, design professional, and contractors are separate companies, the contractor would be termed a prime contractor. The prime contractor is responsible for delivering a complete project in accordance with the contract documents.The matrix organizational structure adopted by most kind of construction head office can be regarded as the most suitable structure, when considering the kitchen stove nature of projects carried out. But the gap between the top management and employees at middle and lower levels is one o f the main drawbacks observed in the site organization structure. Lack of communication in between management levels had given rise to distrust and disbelief among employees.ReferencesICTAD. (2008). online.
