Chapter 4 Planning and supervision

l Work programme: another name for a work programme is a Gantt chart,
and it has proved to be an excellent method of communication. Its purpose
is to:
l establish dates for work to start and finish
l illustrate the labour and plant required for the duration of the contract
l show the order of operations
l provide information for monitoring work progress.
l Delivery note: also known as delivery advice note, this is a document that
lists the type and amount of materials that are delivered to the site. It should
be checked against the actual materials delivered and should be signed only
if the materials on the note and the materials delivered are the same. A copy
should be retained for administration purposes.
l Time sheets: these are completed by each employee on a weekly basis,
on which they give details of hours worked and a description of the jobs
they carried out. Time sheets are used by employers to calculate wages
and provide information for planning future estimates. They are sometimes
completed by the trade foreman.
l Policy documents: these include those listed below.
l Health and safety file: a document held by the client in which health
and safety information is recorded and kept for future use at the end of a
construction project. It is a legal requirement of the CDM Regulations 2015.
The type of information contained in the health and safety file is designed
to help those in positions of responsibility to identify key health and
safety risks that may be encountered on-site, and provide operating and
maintenance manuals for the building and any equipment installed.
