Building Seismic-Ready Infra: Key Insights from Janak Vakharia
Seismic risks, shifting BOQs and asset unpredictability create major pressures for EPCs working on Himalayan Projects. In an interview with B2B Purchase, Janak Vakharia outlines these challenges and shares his key insights on how Xpedeon’s integrated BOQ, CVR, plant and off-site modules give contractors the real-time cost intelligence needed to build resilient, seismic-ready infrastructure.

As seismic activity and climate-linked disruptions rise across the Himalayan belt, contractors are under pressure to deliver safer, more resilient infrastructure without compromising commercial control. Janak Vakharia talks about Xpedeon’s integrated modules from CVR to BOQ intelligence and off-site traceability. And how these modules are helping EPCs navigate volatility, protect margins and strengthen execution in high-risk terrains.
With India’s major infrastructure investments underway, transparency and inclusivity are more important than ever.
“Our ERP platform features automated Cost-Value Reconciliation (CVR), enabling project teams to track real-time costs, variations, and approvals across all vendor tiers. By assessing vendor performance based on delivery, cost accuracy, and compliance—not size—the system levels the playing field. This built-in accountability fosters a procurement environment that enables MSMEs to thrive under the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative,” Said Janak.
Plant & Equipment Visibility for Multi-Site EPCs
Multi-location EPCs require more than just spreadsheets. They need foresight, as equipment may be idle on one site and in limited supply on another. Xpedeon’s Plant & Equipment module centralises equipment allocation, utilisation, maintenance scheduling and cost recovery built to accept real-time data and pave the way for predictive analytics.
AI-Enhanced BOQ Adjustments in Seismic Zones
Structural safety in seismically active regions demands agile cost planning. Xpedeon combines forecasting, variation management and integrated BOQ recalibration so engineering commercial teams can rapidly adapt budgets and specs in response to design changes; maintaining margins despite volatility.
Traceability in Modular & Off-Site Construction
Off-site construction requires “factory to field” precision. Xpedeon’s Off-site Manufacturing module links design, procurement, production dispatch and installation; reducing assembly errors and helping EPC firms meet timelines and quality goals.
Risk Visibility for JV Structures in Urban Transport
Xpedeon’s finance module tightly linked with contracts, CVRs and forecasting gives companies greater clarity around variation risk, escalation and cash-flow modelling. This visibility supports balanced JV formations and faster deal execution.
What's Next
With infrastructure growth in challenging terrains and seismically active regions, contractors need systems that combine resilience with commercial discipline. Xpedeon’s unified platform equips EPCs with real-time intelligence and project control to build more resilient, inclusive and digitally enabled projects.
