Following to his next change as Senior Architect, at Sidus Architects & Engineers

(formally Sidus Infotech) he was assigned to set up the department of architecture

where he stood up to challenge and developed quality systems for internal working as

well as systems for deliveries from the department. Considering his past experience &

record with HSCC, here also he has been assigned to take care of ISO certification

requirements and its companywide implementation. Again Mr. Chourey performed to the

expectation and Sidus too got ISO certification during his tenure of association.

B. CustomerIs the King, Manoj knows that he is always here to serve them with best of his

professional competence. He strongly believes that customer satisfaction is the key to

success in any given business. Especially in service sector where, change,

requirements, expectations are dynamic. It is even more challenging to satisfy the

customer as if they are doing their own job. Here my goal is to win total confidence.

Mr. Chourey has been interacting with the client right from business development till

completion, presenting ideas & facts about project specifics, budgets, schedules, plans

and also helping them to identify & select vendors. He has been very successful in most

of the vocation to grab the job and deliver through clients satisfaction. As mentioned

varied scale of projects both in terms of size & cost he has been associated with the

projects, budgeted for as big as 8.5 B illion and as small as USD-20,000 (please refer to

the list of Major Projects, a separate attachment).

C. TeamNo individual can achieve significant, its a team who plays & shares success. Manoj

take total ownership of the situation and work with the team to deliver the best. For

him a team is an always growing phenomenon, includes not only who is involved but

also who has come across he is an excellent team player not only professionally but

also extend towards personal social aspects of it.Beyond the dedicated team members he has got, in terms of overall team size, he has

always been working in a good size. The core team size throughout his career is

fluctuating between Six Twenty but in his peak load he used to lead a team of more

than 50 people and now considering these many number of people in consulting

scenario, its remarkable. The full fledged composed team he was supported with

architects, engineers, Draftsman, Site coordinators also the team working with his as

sub-consultants was lead by him now that makes the numbers even bigger. Since Mr.

Chourey started at senior position he had been dealing with core team of 4-6 architects,

1-2 Interior designers and 10-15 draftsmen.

D. DedicationThis is one of Mr. Chouerys core assets. When he says I take ownership of situation

he am fully dedicated to achieve what has been planned for. He always loves to work

under sense of responsibility towards achieving something beyond. He says, his

dedication is totally unreasonable and only he only looks for the reasons for success.

E. Systematic approachMr. Chourey has a simple working philosophy => Plan => enable => work =>

monitor & review => deliver => get feedback => learn & update. Manoj always knew

that when one deliver quality it always boosts and its always a win-win situation and

heart of it is it gives confidence to client to rely & offer more & more business

ownership thus resulting growth. Manoj believes in creating opportunities rather than

expecting the same.

F. TechnologyToday is world of technology; Manoj is always striving to keep himself updated with

latest trends technology. He has hunger to learn and grow; he is always a global

learner. Technology to him is a tool for efficient & smart working. Every single time,

Manoj is in look-out to upgrade and enhance his skills not only that he has always been

implementing it beautifully to real working scenario.

G. KnowledgeKnowledge gives the edge over this competitive world this is my key understanding

towards this word. However implementation of knowledge is one aspect which always

gives me an edge over my domain.

3. Duties & responsibilities

Professionally Mr. Chourey has grown from a trainee architect to the Senior / Lead

Architect. This growth has been witnessed various roles, responsibilities through the

projects of various status, scale, team size, location, regions and clients. There has

been tremendous experience and challenges which have been dealt successfully by him

to meet the client satisfaction and beyond. This document below is just to outline his

extreme exposure with respect to tech-managerial role he played as an integrated

duties & responsibilities.

Mr. Chourey is currently working in capacity of a Senior Architect / Manager (for recent

past 3 years)and in his past career he has been holding positions for Project Architect /Manager and a Deputy Manager-architecture (in past 6 years) in his mid career and as

an assistant manager architecture and a Junior / Trainee Architect (initial 3-4 years)in

his early career.

The spectrum of role played is outland herein below for appreciation:-

i . Senior / lead: last 3 years.Since July2006 Manoj has been holding senior technical position with various

organizations. His management capabilities have been always appreciated by

higher management. When he was working with HSCC he was having direct

report to Executive Director (Design) and then with Sidus Architects & engineers

he was heading the department with direct report to Director (Production) and

managing Director. With the Halcrow he was also responsible for construction

and execution and having direct reporting to Regional Director. Having said

above, there is a clear positive professional growth in his responsibilities and

team sizes he lead.

ii . Responsible for client interactions & managementRight from his career start Mr. Chourey is in direct interaction with client initially

as an assistant to seniors but not for long, soon he has grown enough to handle

this portion of his profession, as I remember Manoj has been presenting


5/8


business, prospects, concepts, technical aspects, budgets & estimates to the

client since late 2002 i t was about 3yeras he practically initiated his career. This

domain was soon become his own baby when he joined Sidus Architects &

engineers when he was positioned at head of the department and was

responsible for inflow of business, business process, optimization, and

development and this time remarkable he was dealing with international clients

mainly in Middle Eastern region but there are few from Europe and few from

America as well. His performance can be appreciated when it is said that duringhis tenure the Architecture Department got business in of about USD-100,000

with expected profit of about USD-10,000 which was actually very well

appreciated by board of directors.

i i i. Team building & responsibility distributionThis area of elaboration makes Manoj standing at conveniently preferred position

and far on away from the rest of the crowd of his peer group. He has

exceptional capability to build a team; his understanding to the requirements

gives him clarity to select most suitable resources. Following to the identification

of task he uses a concept of work breakdown where he carefully define the

work packages which can be then allocated to a smaller team that way he makes

sure the team has a quantifiable targets to achieve and hence its that easy for

him to keep track of each of the activities. Moreover depending on the job

priority its easier for him to adjust critical path and adjust the available float

between packages. This is the key for all his successful deliverables. Not to

mention he uses Information and Technology to the best possible way and the

available IT tools are used to deal with complex coordination situations.

iv . Total project cycle deliveryWhen Mr. Chourey start the job he then look in to the whole future of the

project and his experience with big scale projects helps him to look in to totalproject life cycle. Towards defining goal to the specific job he foresee all phases

of a construction project i.e. Concept Design, Design Development, Construction

Documentation, Execution & review at various phases. He always tries to look in

to resource requirements now only for present day but also for the future needs

this helps him to take ready and realistic decision which may be required to be

taken and to make commitment for dates and financial issues to the clients.

v. Monitoring & trackingThe job leads by Mr. Chourey always has a plan. Depending on the requirement

its dynamically adjusted using float and critical path methods. All work also has

an integrated master schedule which includes all team. A continuous monitoringof the base plan is done using weekly / monthly and task assignments through

time sheet system. The plan is always tracked with latest info for latest

happening status. Critical activities are highlighted to continuous tracking in

order to ensure a well delivered plan.

vi . Design managementThis head is the perfect place to put some light on Mr. Choureys fast-track

performance. It can be easily understood that design of a building of a specialty

projects like hospitals are very-very dynamic, this is not only due to its specific

and stringent requirement & compliance but also due to multiple organizational

scenarios, always upgrading medical equipment aspects and fast updates in


6/8


conceptual changes due to stakeholders demand. This makes the whole cycle

very complex. Everything needs to be put in a table for a lead designers for his

working and down the line clear and most up-to- date information has to be

passed on to all relevant parties.

This is a huge coordination task when we talk about the kind of projects Manoj

has been involved in. He is an excellent manager of information he uses a info-

matrix approach to keep the flow to max he also uses many other IT tools to

track down the information and maintain the history of them. He, as anintegrated responsibility coordinates amongst various parties both technical side

as well as management side. Management side they are clients, project

management team, planning team and technical side, his own domain alongside

core construction teams.

vii. Construction coordinationMr. Chourey is also visiting construction site to address in-site issues as well as

to ensure the implementation of design intent and technical integration. He

foresees the future issues like building services integration and resolve them

with design team to take execution forward. Lot of time and money has been

saved by him under this shoulder for an instance Electrical Substation area in

SMRC project was kind of separated from statuary approval point of view and

was dealt by a designated separate agency. During that approval process there

were lot of changes were happening but lead designers / architects were working

on the faced system only considering the architectural point of concern and

meanwhile based on basic design intent were also on going at actual site

appreciating criticality Manoj played a key role to integrate all platforms to

satisfy all parties and the requirements towards a satisfactory completion of that

portion of area.

viii.

Business development & presentationsMr. Manoj Kumar Chourey hasnt been currently positioned to shoulder this

particular area of his expertise but he had already a successful record with Sidus

Architects & Engineers in his past where he was the only responsible

management executive to handle this with clients. He worked with BD team for

various business presentations leading bagful of business for the company.

During these presentations he was responsible to present design ideas, company

competency and ability to deliver, project estimates & costing for various scale

of projects of international location. Many times these presentations are one-on-

one but then more challenging on-line presentation were also part of his

remarkable past.

ix . Quality SystemsMr. Chourey in his current position hasnt been involved in conceptualizing the

quality systems but in his past he has been one of the core members of team

responsible for. Systems regards to his internal department working as well as

the quality systems like ISO certification has been very well handled by him

towards achieving certification at HSCC & Sidus. (Please refer to 2A for).

At a Junior / Trainee Architect : Mr. Manojs learning sprit was at peak this time, hard

working & self motivated to handle responsibilities, was fortunate enough to work at

much higher level than just a trainee.

4. Administration & Management

This particular area gives Mr. Chourey an edge over others of his peer experience group. His

educational background of Masters in Building Engineering & Management provides him much

greater exposures & grip towards scientific planning & management of the job assigned. He

understands the assignment much more practically not only from the view point of an architectbut also from perspective of all s takeholders i.e. client, execution & contractors.

5. Customer and personal Services

Customer is The Master, Customer being the center of project vision & interest and Manoj

being the main tool to achieve the same he always intent to make customer delighted. In Mr.

Choureys view; the above philosophy is the best description of understanding of Customer

Service. With this very core philosophy of understanding, He always keep repeating to himself

that I am here because of the customer and my ultimate duty is not only making customer

happy but much beyond; making them delighted.

Principally all his actions (external or internal) are always oriented towards customer benefit.

Everyone who is affected or going to be affected by Manojs professional actions considered as

a customer to him and he always make sure that my actions become the best possible option

available for them. Client being the ultimate customer, I take ownership of me & my core

working team and I consider all engineering disciplines, contractors, project managers are

customers of mine. I always maintain professional integrity and try to deliver beyond

expectations, i.e. at least to the next level of next obvious. As a leader I never had a problem

I have always converted the so called problem in to the issues & looked in to the same as the

possibility of a creative solution. In other words. so for all practical purposes I usually do nothave any problems but the issues with various possible solutions. Success for me means

customer delight & appreciation of team work.
