ABSTRACT
Site communications therefore include gathering information, to ascertain the needs of those involved with the project, as a necessary tool of management to integrate the functions of departments and as a vital link between manager and subordinate in order to get the job completed. The site diary will be used to remind the site manager of any urgent requirements. The building owner owns the site and therefore has rightful access. Building control officers, health and safety inspectors and similar officials have a legal right to entry to the site at any reasonable time. The information will thus provide an accurate assessment of the site's daily progress together with a record of the labour and plant that have been used. Frequently, the architect will chair the site meeting and prepare an agenda, often in consultation with the contractor. The site diary, if well maintained with the correct sort of information, is a very useful document maintained by the contractor.
