This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manual was written to introduce a dynamic and powerful system of project documentation, reporting and management. It's intended for training and educating the superintendent who on many projects is responsible for all the tasks of documentation and reporting. On larger projects there may be a Field Engineer, Contract Administrator and Assistant Superintendent assigned to it, however, I'm presenting this material as though the entire documenting and reporting process is the responsibility of the Superintendent. In 2007, I was given the opportunity to implement this system as the Field Operations reporting system for a mid-size company doing national retail construction. I wrote the Excel workbook that was used as the Weekly Field Operations Report, and integrating it into our operations required extensive training of all personal, including Project Managers, Superintendents and Field Ops Managers (General Superintendents). It was a mammoth job that returned tremendous results by increasing productivity, quality of completed projects and company profits. The PM's time was greatly maximized as the superintendents were able to take on many project management responsibilities that were normally performed by the PM. As I continually fine-tuned it, the system evolved to provide very powerful and greater control and performance thanks to its ability to continually show supervision and management exactly what their status is and outstanding issues in a real-time basis. One of the system's primary roles is in automatically identifying project issues and prompting a path of resolution. Accurate and timely reporting is crucial, enabling the front office to always keep a “bird's eye view” on the jobsite, even if they're across the country. Pro-activity is a main theme, as the reports have been created in such a way as to selectively bring forth items that may be overlooked. This is especially true of the Jobsite Survey and the Weekly Project Status Report. The system is also tailored to track and manage vital financial information and report costs, such as Labor Usage, Field Change Order Requests, Payroll and issue a Weekly Project Cost Summary from the field. This manual introduces a Field Operations Reporting system to the user that provides training in the use and function of the reports contained in the Excel Workbook-Weekly Field Operations Report. The manual shows the reader how to complete each form and describes their functions in detail. The entire workbook is dynamic in function, with all worksheet pages being inter-related, designed to work with one another. Every worksheet is linked to the other for quick navigation and ease of use. In my next book, Construction Management for the Managing Superintendent, the reader will be given the opportunity and resources available to gain much-needed introductory knowledge about this challenging arena. It's written to train the construction superintendent in construction management and for those senior staff who train superintendents. This book will provide a concise “mini-course” in construction management.

Book excerpt: "Starting from the purchase of heavy equipment and following through to the end of its economic life, this manual explains how to efficiently maintain and operate different types of heavy equipment. Assigning heavy equipment to different projects and utilizing them in varied systems is a large part of construction operation; ensuring everything is monitored consistently and maintained accordingly is essential. This book aids engineers in facilitating straightforward, consistent reporting systems and cost-efficient equipment use. This is particularly of note to the construction industry. It enables engineers to save time and money on maintenance costs, and maximize the availability of the heavy equipment while providing comprehensive coverage of methods and procedures for heavy equipment management. The book also provides charts for practical use by engineers in the field, for example, mapping out a maintenance schedule and it includes chapters on maintenance and field operations organisation, including safety and security organisation.The book will be of interest to construction engineers, plant engineers, mechanical engineers, maintenance plant and field engineers"--

This book was released on 2019-11-14 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tackles in details all aspects of project control and provides - through comprehensive and tabulated data, methods, formulas, exercises, templates, charts, figures, etc.- to project/site managers, engineers, and accountants the necessary data and guidance they need for performing their works. It highlights also the detrimental behavior and pitfalls that hinder the successful completion of projects. It covers, in addition to Cost Control which forms the core element of this book, a wide range of other project activities - organizational matters; compliance with policies and regulations; contractual matters with client and others; construction schedules of permanent and temporary works; receipt dates of construction sites and drawings; procurement of resources; quality of works; safety and environment, etc. The project control system handled in this book allows to get, at any performance evaluation date of the project, an accurate picture of the project operations for the current, elapsed construction period of the project up to this date (current report), and also, based on the current, gained output data of the operations, a projected evaluation of the project operations covering the period up to project completion (projected report). Each of the current and the projected reports of the project provides, at each performance evaluation date, for each item to be controlled, a comparison between its actual/projected and budgeted data. The items that have to be controlled, depending on the adopted control system, can cover all aspects of the project operations such as progress of works, costs, unit cost of the labor working-hour, labor-hours consumption per unit of work, material consumption per unit of work, unit costs of materials, unit costs of subcontracted items, cost of temporary site installations, cost of construction equipment and plant, cost of staff, execution period of the project, delay, quantities and qualities of the works, saving/loss cost of lump-sum projects resulted from inexact quantities takeoff of the project works and/or inaccurate interpretation of specifications and contract conditions, value of executed works, variations and additional works, amounts invoiced, amounts received, amounts claimed, supply of drawings approved for construction, amounts and periods of bank guarantees, compliance with policies and regulations, compliance with safety and environment regulations, and many others.The actual/projected status of each item to be controlled is exhibited either as (1) a comparison between its budgeted and actual/projected data and or (2) as a ratio or quotient of its actual/projected and budgeted data (called performance index "PI"). A PI value equals to 1 indicates that the evaluated task has been executed or is expected to be executed as it was foreseen in the estimate/budget or in the planning (on target performance). A PI value smaller than 1 (except for the project value, quantity of works, income, profit/loss, and others not expended items) indicates that the task has been executed or is expected to be executed with a performance better than what was foreseen in the estimate/budget or in the planning (good performance). A PI value greater than 1 (except for the items listed above) indicates a poor performance of the task. The performance indexes, selected for the project control, could be computed by means of a computer program. The input-data required for this program will be fed by the site management and other units of the project organization. These performance indexes allow the general management, the area management, the operations management, the project/site management, and other management levels to identify, at a glance, the items whose actual output data exceed, equal, or less than the budgeted ones.
