Assignment 2015

any other department / authority. No claim / payment shall be payable to the

Contractor on this account.

Functional Organization:

A typical functional organization for a construction site management will consists of Site

Engineer, who is obviously a specialist and hold his place in the organization because of the

specialist functions of management he performs. On technical side he will be assisted by

Junior Engineers who are also specialists. They control the departmental heads, the Foreman.

There may be Masonry Foreman, Carpentry Foreman, Electrical Foreman, Plumbing Foreman

and General Foreman. Each of these Foreman, is a specialists and controlled the skilled

workman who will actually do the work. For example, under the Masonry Foreman, there may

be eight skilled masons who are again specialist and can not be replaced by anybody but

mason. Same is the case with other Foreman, except in the case of General Foreman, under

whom there will be no skilled workman but only general unskilled labour who will not do any

specialist job. A similar type of organization can be devised for Architect office. This office is

headed by the head of the organization called probably as Chief Architect. There may be two

Senior Architect working under the Chief Architect. These will control the work of four Junior

Architects. These will be directly involved in the preparation of architectural drawings for

which they may take the assistance of draughtsmen. Thus it can be seen that each person in the

hierarchy of a functional organization is specialists, whether he be a mason or carpenter or a

Foreman or an Engineer. The size of the organization depends on the volume, complexity and

the time periods of the various works being done.

The construction team consists of owner, engineers/ architects and contractor. The team is

formed to co-operatively plan, design and execute a particular project. The objective of the

team is to execute the owner's project in the best and most economical manner within the

stipulated completion time. The owner forms the construction team to serve his interests


Assignment 2015

through the services of both the contractor and engineers. The functions of the constituents of

any construction team depend upon the scope and nature of the work.

Site organisation:

The organization for the construction firm has to be developed taking into account the general

principles of organization and the special characteristics of the construction industry. The type

of organization suitable for a small construction firm is simple line or line and staff type of

organization. The engineer in charge at the exercises full authority and is responsible for the

execution and progress of work. Under him are few section officers or foremen who get the

work executed.

After having decided the organizational structure in a construction company, the next step is to

spell out the task, power and responsibility of all its functionaries. Telling an accountant that

he is to look after the accounts work or telling the foreman that he is to super wise the daily

wage workers at site is not enough. Specific job detailing that is what is to be done by whom,

at what time and how it is to be done is the starting point of site organisation. Site organisation

in simple terms, means how to organise the construction activity on site. A typical site

organisation for a division, headed by an executive engineer is shown here.

The project management construction manpower planning is primarily concerned with

estimating the worker's productivity, scheduling manpower employment, and structuring it

into workers' team and work groups, with a view to economically match manpower supply

with the task requirements.

Completion of projects on schedule will be the completion of number of activities taken up

prior to and after the award of the contract for construction. The construction planning has to

be done in a thorough manner so that all problems likely to arise during design construction

are identified. Both the client and contractor have to work in a spirit of give and take and try

to accommodate each pother to the extent possible.

The project authority has to ensure that the contractor is provided with the site for

construction and installation of infrastructure facilities and the required equipment, materials

and construction drawings as per a pre arranged schedule so that there are no chances of

delays on that account.

Although the clients are concerned with the delays in completing projects, they are not able to

take effective measures to address the problems. Even though continuous monitoring and

follow up actions have led to the solution of some projects – specific problems, the over all

picture of delays remain unchanged.

The project organizations having failed to improve the completion time despite numerous

studies and action planned tended to live with the status quo as unavoidable.


Assignment 2015

Making Staff Work as a way of organization life: An understanding of staff authority lays the

foundation for an organizational way of life. Where staff are involved, their responsibility is

to develop and maintain a climate of favorable personal relations. Essentially, the task of staff

is to make the responsible line managers "look good" and to help them do a better job. A staff

person should not attempt to assume credit for an idea. Not only in this a sure way of

alienating line teammates who do not like being shown up by a staff person, but operating

managers who accept ideas actually bear responsibility for the implementation of the

proposals.

Companies also employ the assistance of professional firms, such as consultants to provide

advice to line managers.

A major reason for conflict in organizations is that people do not understand their assignment

and those of their coworkers. No matter how well conceived an organization structure may

be, people must understand it to make it work. Understanding is aided materially by the

proper use of organization charts, accurate job descriptions, spelling out of authority and

informational relationships, and introduction of specific goals for specific positions.

Organizational conflict can be reduced by the use of organization charts and position

descriptions. Organizing is improved by teaching its nature ans by recognizing the informal

organization and the grapevine. Moreover effective enterprises develop and nurture an

appropriate organization culture.

Arbitration:

Arbitration means settlement of dispute between two parties involved; generally contractor

and owner. This settlement generally not by court of law but by a few persons having
