For a builder, progress reporting is like checking the blueprint of a project as you go along. It helps you stay on track and make sure everything is moving forward according to plan. Sometimes, things don't go as expected, and you’ll need to adjust—whether it's rescheduling work or taking corrective action to meet deadlines. This back-and-forth between planning, doing, measuring progress, adjusting, and updating schedules is a constant cycle in the construction process.
In this interactive, online course, we’ll dive into managing a project while it’s in motion. We’ll start by exploring how field supervisors use detailed schedules to plan and assign tasks for crews in the short term. Then, we’ll cover how to measure progress and report on it to keep everything aligned and on time.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Describe the role of the field supervisor in planning and executing day-to-day activities
- Identify how the application of lean principles leads to improved production
- Describe the use of progress measurements and progress reporting
- Discuss the importance of continually updating the plan and schedule to reflect current job status
