Outsourcing Engineering to India

Outsourcing engineering services to India holds enormous potential. With a large number of labor driven and repetitive tasks, it fits the outsourcing bill to perfection. The labor-intensive engineering processes that can be outsourced are structural drafting and detailing, conversion services, cost estimations and a lot more.

Why Outsource Engineering to India?

One of the main advantages of outsourcing engineering services to India is the substantial decrease in labor costs, which do not compromise on quality. Indian engineering service providers are technically proficient and have a zealous eye for detail ensuring that service levels remain as good or far superior to those in countries like the US

Perhaps the most far-reaching advantage is the opportunity it gives the company outsourcing to focus its time and effort on more important business processes. With the responsibility of repetitive, labor intensive tasks being allotted to a trustworthy provider in India, one can free time and resources for core processes.

How To Make It Work For You

Communication

The single most important factor to be considered is good communication between the company outsourcing and the Indian service provider. The quality of the work received will ultimately depend on how clear and detailed the instructions are from the company. Most Indian service providers have 24-hour Internet access and toll free phone facilities to the US, since the entire process is dependent on clear communication. It is imperative for the company to maintain that communication link with updates and revisions until the completion of the project.

Quality

Secondly, the company needs to ensure that the work is in accordance with approved American standards, building bye-laws, codes of practice and legal and safety specifications. Indian service providers are usually aware of prevalent industry standards in the US which include the LFRD (Load and Factor Resistance Design),
ACI - (American Concrete Institute) and OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration), but it is always wise to ensure that there are no discrepancies.

Metric System

Another consideration is the difference in metric systems. While Indian companies follow the metric system, the US follows the FPS system. This too can be taken care of as most Indian service providers offer conversion services from metric to FPS systems.
