Logistics: Site set up and Temporary Works checklist

For running any project with efficiency and effectively the planning has to be done for the logistics set up associated with the construction site.  In the plan several approaches needs to be follow at the construction work which includes the stages of the development. The main objective of the logistic system is about providing deliveries on time as well as the minimizing the risk factors material handling and storage on construction site. Logistic plan is simply divided into two main divisions for this associated work of Barbadoes Street and Tuam and are mentioned below (Winiarski, Urba?ski, & Faizan, 2019):

1. Construction of Logistic tasks
2. Logistics Strategies for Construction

Construction of Logistics Tasks: It is very important for planning the project of construction site it also includes the timeline of the project and stages that will be followed. The construction material and all other required resources as well as tools will be mentioned (Guo, Li, Liang, & Tang, 2019).

 

Time lines of the project	Resources	Availability
01-11-2019 to 05-11-2019 Work assigning with Contractor	Contract and required documents	Completed
06-11-2019 to 12-11-2019 Contractor and Workers planning	Construction material to construction site	Completed
13-11-2019 to 02-01-2019 Construction Work	According to the requirement delivery of Construction material	As per the requirement

 
Logistics Strategies for Construction: These strategies are basically used or designed for managing the construction in proper and according to the requirement of the clients. It includes the date of the beginning of the project and the day when it has to be finished.  In the plan the number of workers assigned and type of work they have to do will be decided. The strategies designed in the construction helps the contractor to maintain the flow of the construction and to utilize the resources in better way (de Brito Junior, Ribeiro, & Yoshizaki, 2019).  . It is also necessary to manage the quality and for that the monitoring of the site and resources will be also include in this plan. Quality is the factor that cannot be compromised in any way for the construction or repairing. This plan also includes the safety of the workers which is most mandatory for the organization. The strategy will also include the estimation of the cost for the project and the revenue that can be generate once the construction get complete (Regla, & Marquez, 2019).

The practices which are required for the plans are mentioned below:

• Management or Arrangements
• Volumes and planned measures of Vehicle
• Safety standards and other protective measures for vehicle
• Access of site and routing
• Management system of delivery
• Communication Process

Communications on site: Site Meetings

Site meetings are very crucial for the success of construction projects, to make better communication and effective outcomes. Regular meeting needs to organize between the stakeholders who are associated with the projects. All the meetings need to be formed with a proper schedule on weekly basis and monthly basis according to the requirement of the client and project (Lentz, Genty, Gergereau, & Descatha, 2019). With the help of this procedure the organization is able to develop a good chance for develop two way communication. This process is also helpful in creating and managing the trust with the stakeholders of project by enabling their visit on the site as well as by involving them in the discussion associated with the project.

Monitoring Process

Executive Summary

Monitoring in the projects which are associated with the construction at site helps the organization for analyzing the efficiency, accuracy and effectiveness of the project. For the monitoring of any project at construction site specific team is assigned which keeps eyes on the updates and control the construction of the project. For monitoring the project different categories will be characterized and they are mentioned below (Kazemian, Yuan, Davtalab, & Khoshnevis, 2019):

• Environment of the construction
• Control in Quality
• Timeliness and targets of meeting
• Negotiation, suppliers, and performance of suppliers
• Health and Safety
• Costing
• Resources and Material
• Confirmations with the plans and other specification

However, few things shall also be considered while designing the monitoring process, as this process is useful for providing a vision connected with the progress of the project also it allows the organization for minimizing the issue as well as methods to eliminate them before they arise and can cause hazards. For the monitoring of construction project it is mandatory to develop an outline of the project for tracking the update of project progress (Perisoglou, Ionas, Patterson, & Jones, 2019, September). It will also provide support to every individual in understanding the role at construction site. The monitoring process is helpful in setting goals according to skill of workers through measuring individual according to their projects they had worked. Monitoring process helps to develop a relationship between workers and project manager (Zhang, Yu, hang, Yan, & Chen, 2019).

Current site is for corner of Barbadoes Street and Tuam located near Wilson car park has been started and all the formalities with the contractors also completed. The required material will is stored at the construction site so that it could be used for backfill. In the current procurement of the construction project the dealing with the contractor and supplier is completed also the quality and requirement of the clients are cross-checked. The schedule of project and the last day for completing project is also explained and discussed with the clients. The required material is stored in the warehouse of the construction site apart also two people are also assigned for the management and checking of construction resources (Sepasgozar, Li, Shirowzhan, & Tam, 2019).

The power for issuing the instructions to the contractor is assigned to contract administrator. All of these instructions are known as contract administrator’s instructions or architect instructions. Hence at the site the contract administrator instructed to contractor for managing the safety of all worker and maintaining the client requirements. Some of other instruction which can be provided by the AI are mentioned below (Li, Geng, Li, Zhao, & Nie, 2019, March):

• To vary work
• For postponing the work
• For sanctioning the variation
• Issues related with the expenditure

Monitoring Cash Flow

The cash flow in any construction site is very crucial and dominant aspect for managing the project and execution of its plan. Through different chain of activities issues associated with the cost and funding can be examined. The main objective of the cash flow is about the fulfillment of the plan which was originally performed (Wheeler, et.al. 2019).  

• Developing budget for control in utilization
• Identifying the account cost
• To design a schedule for cost accounts
• Develop forecast estimate
• Conversion of cost estimate to a budget plan
• Monitoring of budget implementation including status report of cash flow
• Evaluation of financial reports(Grimshaw, Cartwright, Keizer, & Rubery, 2019) 

Managing Subcontractors

In the construction project the subcontractors are not permanent employees of the organization which is assigned for the work. It is not easy to manage their roles and responsibilities it becomes challenging task (du Plessis, 2019). The organization will be able to identify the direct benefits by managing subcontractors. There are some parameters which have to follow for managing the subcontractor and they are defined below:

• It is very essential for developing a clear communication according to expectation of organization before hiring the subcontractor.
• Time management is one of the most important parts for managing the subcontractor. The duration for starting and ending the project shall be discussed before the beginning of project.
• To create a follow-up with the subcontractor on the regular basis will help the organization to understand the work done by them is according to them or not. Also the analysis of the expectation will become more efficient and effective(Divakar, 2019).
