ABSTRACT

Programming has given direction to our strategy for construction and we can approach the workface confidently. Easy to say, but do we have a right to feel confident? How well are we managing? Let us look at our definition of management-planning, organization, coordination and control, and examine where we are: • Planning: this has been done through the proper programming of the

delivery of information and construction activities. • Organization: information has been prepared, e.g. quality, safety and

environmental plans, methods and safe working practices set down and approved, samples submitted, offsite production is under way and the workforce mobilized.
