Dear Rana U R,
I will give answer to your question No. 2 first.
You said, you are a construction company. This means you are a construction contracting company and you undertake construction projects.
In this case, when you undertake construction projects of PSU etc. you fall under central jurisdiction and you need to follow Minimum Wage Rates of Central or State if it is higher than Central.
If you undertake projects of private sector, to you respective State Laws are applicable and you need to follow respective State MW rates as applicable to construction industry.
Answer to your question No. 1 you must have got it from above.
Now your contact work of construction is under the factory as defined under FA 1948. In this case you have to follow the MW rates as applicable to that factory depending upon in which schedule industry it falls.
Those are the basics of HR compliance and it seems you need to hire the services of professional like me on retainership.
