How to manage a construction crew

Crews, subcontractors and clients all pull in different directions. How site managers keep work moving.

Crews, subcontractors and clients all pull in different directions. How site managers keep work moving.

Short answer: Manage a construction crew with daily tasks per person, a daily site report, photo-backed defect lists and one place for decisions, so nothing important lives only in a phone call.

Daily rhythm

  1. Morning: confirm the day’s tasks with each crew.

  2. During the day: questions and changes in the task.

  3. Evening: daily site report with photos.

Decisions on record

When the client or architect changes something, record it in the task. It protects everyone when questions come up later.

Defects and snags

Every defect gets a photo, an owner and a date. Close it with an after photo.
