1.2 Site Assessment & Survey
- Conduct a thorough site inspection. Link
- Identify potential hazards and constraints (utilities, soil conditions, accessibility). Link
- Document findings in a Site Assessment Report. Link
1.3 Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
- Divide the project into phases (e.g., excavation, foundation, framing, MEP, finishing). Link
- Assign tasks with deadlines using Gantt charts or scheduling software (e.g., MS Project, Primavera). Link
1.4 Material & Equipment Procurement
2. Daily Operations & Execution
2.1 Morning Briefing (Toolbox Talk)
- Conduct a 10-15 minute safety and task briefing.
- Review the day's objectives, hazards, and PPE requirements.
- Document attendance and key discussion points.
2.2 Work Execution
- Follow approved construction drawings and specifications.
- Supervisors must monitor progress and ensure adherence to quality standards.
- Report deviations immediately to the Project Manager.
2.3 Quality Control (QC) Checks
- Conduct inspections at critical milestones (e.g., before concrete pour, post-structural work).
- Use checklists to verify compliance with design and safety standards.
- Document findings with photos and reports.
2.4 Progress Reporting
- Daily logs (work completed, manpower, equipment used).
- Weekly progress reports (percentage completion, delays, issues).
- Update project dashboards for stakeholders.
3. Safety & Compliance
3.1 Hazard Identification & Risk Assessment (HIRA)
- Conduct risk assessments before high-risk activities (e.g., scaffolding, excavation).
- Implement control measures (barricades, signage, fall protection).
3.2 Incident Reporting
- Immediate reporting of accidents/near-misses via an Incident Report Form.
- Investigation within 24 hours with corrective actions.
3.3 Safety Audits

- Weekly coordination meetings with subcontractors. Link
4.2 Change Management
- Document change requests (client/design changes). Link
- Assess impact on cost and schedule before approval. Link
4.3 Client & Stakeholder Updates
- Bi-weekly progress reports with photos.
- Monthly review meetings for major projects.
5. Closeout & Handover
5.1 Final Inspection & Punch List
- Walkthrough with client/engineer to identify defects.
- Assign corrective actions with deadlines.
5.2 As-Built Documentation
- Update drawings to reflect final construction.
- Submit for client/regulatory approval.
5.3 Project Debrief
- Review lessons learned (successes, challenges).
- Archive documents for future reference.
6. Tools & Documentation
- Project Management Software: Procore, PlanGrid, Autodesk BIM 360.
- Safety Compliance: OSHA checklists, site safety plans.
- Reporting Templates: Daily logs, QC checklists, incident reports.
Implementation & Training
- Train all team members on standardized workflows.
