My Internship Experience at Allied Builders (Seychelles) Limited.

As it is rightly said, “You cannot start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading the last one”. Amidst the pandemic, I was fortunate enough to receive an Internship offer from Allied Builders in May 2020. All credit goes to RICS-SBE and I am thankful for providing me with this opportunity. To stand out in this competitive market, you require skills that match up with the Industry requirement. So, this internship helped me in improving my skills, gaining experience, networking along with improving confidence.

My research-based internship at Allied Builders was to study the “Impact of COVID-19 on Idle Costs and Prolongation Costs under FIDIC Provision.” The research work focused on identifying and analyzing the impact of COVID- 19 on Construction projects and exploring the FIDIC Contracts clauses for its possible solution. During this 8 weeks Internship, I came across various concepts of contract management which I was not familiar with. For my research methodology, I conducted an online questionnaire to understand the impact and get expert opinions from professionals. It helped me in understanding the level of impact on Materials, Labours and Machinery (Plants & Equipment) on various type of construction projects in different countries. As FIDIC contracts are used internationally for a construction project, I got insights from various organizations across the globe with the help of a survey conducted. This helped me interacting with Industry Professionals thus improving my Networking and technical skills.
