There are three aspects to construction management, that play a very crucial role in the success of any construction unit. They are Cost + Resources (people and material) + Scheduling. They are interrelated.
As all of you are aware, in our business at Manovsis, we are focusing on an operational strategy that point to -waste, -cost-, -time and +Service. Sometimes, it is good to ask ourselves, if we are truly adhering to this strategy of ours. Are we sticking to our time, are we truly managing our resources at hand at the optimum level, and are we managing our costs effectively? Are we as a unit performing at the highest level? based on my experience, i wish to bring to your attention importance of Scheduling in Construction management.
Scheduling is an important part of affordable construction management. Planning and scheduling of construction activities helps engineers to complete the project in time and within the budget. if we need to get the project completed on time and within the budget, it highly critical that we adhere to scheduling.
Remember that SCHEDULE SERVES A PURPOSE….

WHEN YOU SHARE YOUR PROGRESS,
YOU CONTROL YOUR PROGRESS
- Know your Schedule
- Make the Contractors report their own progress end of the day
- Know where you are
- Know where you are going at this rate
- Respond immediate – based on information
- Communicate, Communicate, Communicate
- Plan and Progress
Going forward, if we could follow the first two points (know your schedule and make the contractors/workers report their progress at the end of the day). we will cross 90% of our target. Never forget, you can only lead by walking the talk.
