CONSTRUCTION MANAGER SKILLS 1,2


1.Delegate the task to the person prepared for its implementation, making sure that the person has the experience to solve it and clearly understands the conditions of the task.
During the execution of a construction project, each person in a team performs certain functions defined by his contract and duties. These functions, and result of the execution of these functions should be detailed in the job description, in order to eliminate possible conflicts of responsibility in the future. Nevertheless, different situations often arise in a construction project; it is not always possible to foresee their occurrence, especially on projects
that are completely distinguish from previously implemented. The solution of such issue and control over implementation of this decision should be entrusted to a person who is prepared for such task and has the time, strength and ability to do so. And before beginning of accomplishment you have to assure that the track and outcome of his solution thoroughly correspond with planned by you. It makes no sense to burden person already buried in the work, so before deciding whom to delegate, it is necessary to measure capabilities of each team member and maybe sometimes it would be better to hire a specialist for
outsourcing.
2. Provide the construction project with the best possible team.
Personal abilities of each member of construction team have utmost importance but the consistency of team work is the second most important success factor. But in my opinion the result from the team work of young inexperienced, but “absolutely engaged” managers, sometimes could be higher than “pulling the blanket over myself” among experienced masters who just pay attention only on his own work and never reckon with the opinion of their colleagues. Any construction project manager can observe such kind of issues during general contractor meetings. Sometimes adult, experienced people are ready almost to defend their
interests with their fists despite of common benefits. And the ability to resolve the dispute and develop a practical solution that suits all parties, depends entirely on the meeting manager (or senior manager of the construction project). At the same time, young specialists who still do not feel themselves “the only correct and indispensable” are usually ready for dialogue with their colleagues in order to work out a mutually acceptable settlement of controversial issues. But, of course I don't want to reduce significance of experience. So the most important criterion when making up a team is not only personal knowledge but the desire and ability of each member to participate in a team interactions and communications.

CHEATING COUCHING       The modern coaching raises some questions which I try to clear now.  What the coaching is all about? Why do we have such enormous amount of coaches? And why they deceive us?              Basically coaching is adjustment of characteristics and skills in accordance with the life requests: business training , in the case of lack of knowledge in marketing, sales, leadership, and other technologies that allow you to effectively profit from your work; when problems are inside or with the people around you, then personal growth courses should help develop inner attitude and patterns in order to correct them. Bluntly speaking the kind of classic rule , cultivated by all animals and especially by humanity: the older teach the younger, the younger learn from the experience and skills of the older.       Until recently, it was so. Because the information came from books and experiences. But, nowadays information has become commonly available and coaching t

10-1 BIM technologies      Almost any construction begins with a drawing, except summer houses, which retirees are building for years, without hurry and clear plan. A complete set of drawing documentation implies that the specifications are attached to the drawings, specifying the requirements for the materials defined by the project so that the contractor can accurately implement ideas created by the architect https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cvsrk_zZsAE and approved by the client. And if, until recently, plans and specifications existed separately , on different sheets, so that sometimes it was a real challenge to find corresponding specification sheet, but nowadays technological progress, which determines our modern life and has already replaced the main designer’s tool from a drawing board to a computer and created CAD programs, gives to the architect an even more powerful design tool - creating a virtual BIM model ( Building Information Model ). And the most important
