ABSTRACT
Once the methods to be adopted have been agreed by site management, the construction planner continues to have an important role on site. First, in developing control and short term programmes for all organizations contributing to the contract under the main or managing contractor. Second, the construction planner's intimate knowledge of how the work was originally planned makes him uniquely placed to examine the potential consequences of alterations to what has to be built. In this area, he is a valuable source of information to the site quantity surveyor when assessing where possible contractual claims may arise.
