Ensuring that construction is completed safely to a high technical standard, we are also responsible for specifying the timing of the contract. This can be a major responsibility when penalty clauses for late completion are written into project contracts.

Typical work activities include:

• selecting the appropriate techniques and sequence of events for a particular project
• presenting schedules of work, often with visual aids such as bar charts and procedures diagrams
• using specialist planning computer software, such as Primavera Project Planner P3/e
• monitoring progress throughout the construction process and comparing this with the projected schedule of work
• liaising with the site agent and surveyor throughout the process, making adjustments to projects as necessary
• providing advice and support on the development of specific systems
• monitor individual project earned value analysis.
