Roles of major parties defined at the Site Handover meeting (Austen & Neale, 1995)
Construction Management:
- Is the management of the physical construction process within the built
environment and includes the coordination, administration, and management
of resources (SACPCMP)
-
Recall:
Site layout design has significant implications for
- Productivity
- safety
- total construction / project cost
Site layout should therefore aim at producing a
working environment that maximises efficiency and
reflect the companys attitude to the project, its
commitment to safety and well-being of the workforce
Poorly designed site layout constrains easy and safe
movement of labour-force and vehicles often causing
accidents such as fall of materials, collision of vehicles,
(pedestrian) accidents on site, etc.

NB:
- A major challenge in construction is that each project is unique
(even where the design is similar)
- Differences in location, ground conditions, workforce and site
management will demand a flexible management style in order to
complete the project on time, within budget and to the required
quality.
- Where the project is situated (city or rural area) has significant
influence on the sizing and location of site facilities
Congested sites:
Building plan area 90% of the overall site area
Often city centre projects
Uncongested sites:
Building plan area 90% of the overall site area
Often rural area projects
Functions of Management:
- Planning
- Organising
- Staffing
- Leading
- Coordinating
- Controlling
Organising:
- The function of analysing all tasks that have to be
performed in order to achieve the objectives set down in the
plans
- Creating a structure of tasks and relationships in which
each is
delegated to an individual
- Tasks are further divided into subtasks and allocated to
individuals
until the whole of the actions in the plan are
specified as teams or
individual tasks (Neale, 1995)
