1.3. Interaction Between Home Office and Field

1.3. Interaction between home office and field

The interactions between home office and field happen in different ways. All projects participants, especially those from Fit Construction, are connected at all time through the construction software, Procore. With Procore, all project communications, including emails, occur through the software and are automatically documented on the cloud. One of the Field Engineer’s primary responsibilities is to compose a daily report of the construction. This daily report is submitted to the Project Manager and all other relevant project participants.

Every week, the Project Manager, the Owner, the Designer and other relevant project participants do a walk through the site with the Site Superintendent and the Field Engineer to identify results and challenges. This is another important strategy to keep communications effective: making the subjects concrete, instead of just an abstract subject line on an email.

In addition, the Site Superintendent participates on biweekly meetings with the General Superintendent and other superintendents to discuss each project. These meetings are held at the office and are useful to share strategies and results all across Fit Construction’s projects.

Lastly, Fit Construction, being based in Philadelphia, allows for a direct line of communication with our staff, the 620 N 3rd St and the owner. All project participants are welcome to reach out to us at our office with any questions or concerns.

SECTION TWO

PROJECT INFORMATION

Section Two will demonstrate project specific, variate pieces of information. It starts with a description of the project, it’s main components, structure and spaces. Then, a diagram showing the interactions between the project participants is displayed, providing useful information on the project’s hierarchy and communication dynamics, which can provide clarification on team communication.

These same project participants are then listed under a responsibility matrix which describes their roles in each project task and phase. Another part of Section Two concerns the description of the delivery method approach. In the 620 N 3rd St project, an unconventional delivery method system was defined, composing an important part of the project. Lastly, this section provides information on how Fit Construction will handle construction communication, as well as a description of the risk administration method utilized to analyze and plan around management, safety, quality and environmental issues.
