• Project Closing: Finalize checklist, document completed work, get client signature, and report final status with remarks.

6. Documentation & Reporting

• Keep organized project files: client communications, materials reports, team assignments, delays, and changes.

• Submit a weekly summary to the Operations Manager.

• Use digital tools (where applicable) to log tasks, photos, and issues.

7. Worker Efficiency & Cost Reduction (New Section)

• Manpower Optimization:

• Review workload vs. manpower weekly and recommend adjustments (merge/split teams as needed).

• Avoid idle time between jobs; ensure teams move efficiently from one task to the next.

• Avoid assigning more workers than necessary based on the scope.

• Shift Planning:

• Suggest early morning or late shifts to comply with summer work restrictions while reducing overtime costs.

• Support two-shift systems during peak loads only when necessary.

• Resource Utilization:

• Prevent overuse of equipment and tools.

• Report repeated issues with teams that cause damage or inefficiencies.

• Track time spent per site and raise alerts when projects are taking longer than planned.

• Cost-Control Feedback:

• Report areas of overspending or inefficiency in manpower, transport, or material usage.

• Recommend solutions to reduce cost (e.g., combining site visits, reusing materials, using smaller teams).

• Compare actual time and material usage to estimated values and analyse discrepancies.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs):

• Percentage of projects completed on time.

• Number of rescheduled or delayed installations.

• Average manpower used per project vs. plan.

• Rate of material wastage or reorders.

• Number of client complaints related to coordination.

• Worker productivity score (based on task completion per day/week).
