Role of a Construction Manager

Core Outcomes

  1. Construction Visualisation: Done in advance, clear knowledge of what will happen and how.
  2. Productivity: ensuring resource utilization and avoiding idling of resources.
  3. Worker Management: payments on time, providing appropriate infrastructure onsite, etc.
  4. Progress Monitoring: daily reconciliation of work progress and next day’s rolling plan; ensuring work progresses as per the correct sequence
  5. Closure & Handover: Physical completion of the work and confirmation with stakeholders on the successful closure and handover of the same

Key Practices

  1. Benchmarking – construction costs, resource productivity
  2. First Time Right – planning, working in a way that gets it right in the first attempt

G6 Interface (Should Do)

  1. Appraise G6 on issues real time so that they get resolved well in time
  2. Set DTS targets to de-bottleneck the Red Spaces
  3. Regular status updates and real-time sharing of issues, concerns as they occur
  4. Just in time materials and services
  5. Correct & complete engineering well in time
  6. Real time course correction based on inputs on work modes from Planning
  7. Inputs to engineering for as-built

CU Interface

  1. Resolve flashpoints within CU
  2. Institutionalise smart construction practices followed by CU
  3. Sequencing and interlinking of all activities
  4. Improvement initiatives around the 6KPIs with appropriate support given to the CU
  5. Checking constructability and resolving issues
  6. Manage protocols for handover from one CU to another
