Checklist for a Proper Construction Site. Backstage

As for the appearance, construction sites of many real estate developers have changed, now you can rarely see a construction trailer instead of a sales office or a fence without any design. But inside the site, there is a battlefield with no rules. "Why wouldn't you put on white gloves and come to check! It's not a kitchen, but a construction site!" – this is what skeptics usually say (mainly project managers). Yes, it is a construction site, but the order and decent working conditions there not only form the construction culture among the workers but also generate positive (I would even say enthusiastic) feedback from the customers when visiting the site.

Go through this checklist and see how things are going in your building "kitchen":

✔ Branded uniform in corporate colors with the logo.

✔ The logo on the helmets.

✔ Stickers with the name and phone number of the worker on the helmet (so that everyone has their own).

✔ High visibility vests with the company logo.

✔ Builders' Code of Culture (with a body of rules of conduct on the site and with clients).

✔ A checkpoint branded in corporate colors.

✔ Transparent entrance gate.

✔ A branded construction camp.

✔ The construction camp (the ground level) is not visible to clients as it is fenced.

✔ Navigation signs on the construction site.

✔ Modular WCs and shower booths.

✔ Sanitary areas are not visible to clients during the demo route.

✔ Flower beds near the construction trailers.

✔ All paths are paved with concrete slabs.

✔ The site office is branded in corporate colors.

✔ A large standard sign denoting the office.

✔ Business hours of the office (in the corporate style with the availability schedule and contact details of responsible persons).

✔ nformation boards inside the office on:

• occupational safety and health,
• fire safety,
• anti-terrorism efforts,
• anti-corruption efforts,
• information,
• project team,
• overall work program,

• dynamic board of visualization of construction readiness at the site

✔ At least one box for the collection of waste paper for recycling is located in the office.

✔ Construction signs of occupational safety and health measures in accordance with the requirements of Sanitary Norms and Regulations are placed in the right places, mounted in a quality manner, and transferred on time. Make sure the signs are in the right place. 

✔ All site facilities have information signs (dining room, construction camp, first-aid post, warehouses, etc.).

✔ There are no improper odors at the construction site (of sanitary areas, garbage, pilaf prepared by the builders).

✔  The builders are motivated to make suggestions on how to improve the quality and order at the construction site (bank of ideas).

✔ General meetings are held between the marketing department and technical and engineering employees.

✔ An auditor from the marketing department together with the project manager quarterly conduct inspections of the site to ensure compliance with the standards.

✔ Your builders share the values of the company and know about its activities outside their site.
