When I communicate with contract coordinators or project managers or talk quotes for a job, it’s often hard to convey the actual effort that allows for the physical (most times very physical) completion of works.
Like many who build a construction file or project manage, there are a combination of behind the scenes actions to make our role of installer/servicemen as efficient as can be.
I’d like to shoutout to all those guys on the ground supplying tools, equipment and labour to complete suppliers projects.
The preparation and maintenance of equipment and tools. The keeping of vehicles mechanically sound and commercially presentable. The organising of calendars and workforce to suit. The clerical and financial responsibilities to staff and agencies.
On the ground, dealing with clients on the job is the easy part. Greasing up wheel bearings of 2tonne dollies at 6:30pm to make sure the next job goes smoothly, not often expressed but worth remembering when arguing for dollars rather than dependable service.
