The construction of any facility is carried out in accordance with working drawings, estimates, and regulatory documents. The construction process is managed by the work foreman (in short, foreman). The responsibilities of a construction foreman are enormous and responsible. The quality of the constructed facility depends on his competence and professional literacy.

An employee with a higher education in construction and with at least three years of experience in this profile is appointed to the position of foreman. Or secondary technical education with at least five years of experience.

The range of responsibilities of a construction foreman is very wide. There are two main areas of his activity:

• Responsibilities regarding the organization of the construction process.
• Responsibilities regarding labor protection and compliance with safety regulations.

I would like to outline in detail the job responsibilities of a foreman, not in a template version, but how they are actually implemented in practice. Take, for example, newly starting construction.

Preparatory stage

After receiving the technical documentation with the stamp “for work in progress,” you should familiarize yourself with the construction organization project (COP), where the location of temporary buildings and structures is indicated in the construction plan.

These are household premises, foreman's rooms, open and closed warehouses, fencing, driveways, temporary electricity and water supply networks, etc. In accordance with this, the construction site is being arranged.

At the same time, the design and estimate documentation is being studied, which is the responsibility of the construction foreman. When comments are identified, appropriate acts are drawn up for presentation to the design organization.

The production department issues a logbook for the production of concrete and welding works (if necessary). As well as logs of work performed, forms of acts for hidden work, filling out which is the responsibility of the foreman.

Necessary knowledge for a foreman

• Read drawings fluently, be familiar with estimates, regulatory documentation, and construction work standards;
• Know the technological sequence of processes, organization of construction production;
• Correctly build relationships with subcontracting companies, provide them with a timely front for special work, and accept them in accordance with the standards;
• Be able to use geodetic instruments (level, theodolite), and, if necessary, promptly give working marks;
• Provide requests for materials, attach drawings of orders, when required, indicating all parameters, grades, sections;
• Interact with the customer’s representative not only when signing interest payments, but also when performing hidden construction work. When constructing critical structures, author’s supervision should also be invited;
• Monitor labor discipline and internal regulations at the construction site;
• Know the standards for safety, labor protection, industrial sanitation and fire protection.

Execution of construction work

The daily responsibilities of a construction foreman include planning and organizing the construction process. To do this, a monthly list of the volumes required by technology for implementation is compiled.

The required amount of materials for this is calculated according to the material consumption standards. This request is processed by the production department. Then it is placed among suppliers of structures, materials, and other products.

On a daily basis, orders are made for the necessary materials, equipment, transport, small-scale mechanization equipment, and other needs.

It is the responsibility of the construction site foreman to give the foreman a task for the working day before the start of the shift. If necessary, working drawings should be reviewed together with the foreman.

It also happens that I had to sketch sketches indicating dimensions. At the same time, mandatory control over execution is provided to avoid errors. The completed structural elements must strictly comply with the working drawings.

If it is necessary to replace materials, this must be agreed upon with the design institute through the customer’s representative - a technical supervision engineer.

One of the main responsibilities of the foreman is strict quality control, elimination of regulations of regulatory authorities, technical supervision to ensure the reliability and durability of the structures being built.

During construction, be sure to monitor the state of safety regulations at the site to prevent injuries and accidents.

Before starting construction work, the foreman must instruct workers in terms of safety precautions.

Instruction can be divided into:

• Initial briefing (upon hiring an employee);
• Repeated (at least once every three months);
• Extraordinary briefing (if the nature of construction work changes);
• Current or target (for example, when issuing a permit).

Maintaining documentation is the responsibility of a construction foreman.

The foreman must draw up the following as-built documentation:

Daily completion of the work production log.

Fill out and sign acts for hidden work from technical supervision.

Provide the necessary execution plans.

Monthly collection of passports, laboratory test results, certificates, and other documents for subsequent submission to the production and technical department.

Drawing up registers for incoming products, materials, structures, for submission to the management accounting department (for material accounting).

At the end of each month, calculate the volumes completed and present them to the customer’s representative for signing. Based on this, the production department calculates the completion and generates a report of completed work.

The production department processes percentages and, according to production standards, writes off materials assigned to the foreman in the M-29 form. Based on this, the accounting department writes off these materials from the foreman’s report for the month.

To summarize, we can briefly outline what the foreman’s responsibilities include in organizing the construction process.

Main responsibilities of a foreman

Organization of construction production in strict accordance with the project, PPR, and regulatory framework.

Compliance with safety and labor protection requirements. This is a big topic that I will cover in future publications.

Strictly adhere to the technological sequence of the construction processes performed.

The foreman prepares requests for the supply of material assets, equipment, equipment, small-scale mechanization, tools, etc.
Controls their effective use.

The responsibilities of a construction foreman include mechanizing processes in every possible way, introducing rationalization proposals in order to reduce costs and reduce construction time.

The foreman must keep strict records of the volumes completed, report for them within the established time limits, and maintain as-built documentation to the prescribed extent.

Provide work scope to related subcontractors, coordinate their joint and uninterrupted activities. Ensure that deadlines are met so as not to hinder the parallel work of several subcontractors.

Organize activities to improve the level of qualifications of workers to increase the rank of the qualification commission.

Link the joint activities of subcontracting units into a single construction process. Issue production tasks to craftsmen subordinate to the foreman and supervise them.

Monitor compliance with production and labor discipline. In cases of violation, petition the administration to impose disciplinary sanctions.

According to the profile of the profession in the following areas, certification of the foreman must be carried out :

Compliance with building codes and regulations.

On safety precautions and labor protection.

For the safe conduct of construction work with cranes.

Be certified in electrical safety.

On safe work with gas.

On construction in seismic areas.

Construction on subsidence soils.

The main task of any construction process is the timely delivery of a well-built facility into operation. In addition, the economic cost should not exceed the financial estimate (FFR). The responsibilities of a construction foreman are aimed at achieving assigned tasks.

Today construction production is at its peak. It is specific and dangerous, which requires proper organization. Each construction site must have a manager. His task will be to set deadlines, put the facility into operation, organize the production process, and record the work. This is done by the work manager or foreman.

In addition to these requirements, the employee must be purposeful and responsible. Employers often pay attention to accuracy, knowledge of technical documentation and the ability to quickly solve assigned tasks. A competent specialist will allow you to complete construction work on time without compromising quality. These qualities should be taken into account when writing DIs.

Responsibilities

The foreman is engaged in production activities, performs and checks the commissioning of the facility, sets and controls deadlines, and ensures an increase in economic indicators. It certifies the compliance of the work performed with the design program and technical specifications.

The job description must indicate that the foreman is required to control the technical sequence of production. He must mechanize as much as possible and bring it to a given level. It is important to timely improve the organization of production, reducing the cost of installation and construction work. The quality of work and the elimination of deviations identified by regulatory authorities are separately monitored. Regular technical supervision is necessary to ensure the durability and reliability of structures.

Every day before work, the foreman must be given a work assignment and, if necessary, review the working drawings together. In some cases, adjustments are made and then compliance is monitored.

All material should be used sparingly. A specialist must constantly improve his knowledge and skills and effectively use innovative techniques in his work. To accurately determine the required volume, accepted standards are used. The submitted application must be processed by the production department and then placed with suppliers. If there is a need to replace materials, it is necessary to obtain approval from the design institute through a technical supervision engineer.

Construction sites must be provided with construction documentation in a timely manner, and managers must have up-to-date information.

The foreman must also prepare requests for materials and equipment if necessary. There must be a package of technical documentation for the work performed.

To summarize, we can say that the foreman monitors every detail. DI obliges the employee to monitor the condition and operation of production equipment. He will be responsible for organizing and conducting educational work on labor protection standards, fire safety, etc.

For proper internal management, the functions of the CI must be clearly defined. Here is an approximate list that can be adjusted depending on the specialization and assigned tasks:

Performance evaluation

The head of the organization must regularly evaluate the professional performance of the foreman. The analysis takes into account knowledge of safety precautions, labor protection, implementation of the production process and its compliance with project documentation. If the above conditions are met, the foreman will be considered a good specialist.

Competence

The foreman has extensive power. His instructions in the brigade become mandatory for execution. The specialist must organize the selection and rotation of workers on the site. If there is a need for reward or punishment, the work manager transmits information to the manager and makes suggestions.

This specialty occupies an intermediate place between ordinary employees and management personnel. The person on it will have direct contact with management. His competence will include issues related to modernization of production and savings. The foreman negotiates to identify defects and defects. He must formulate precise recommendations to eliminate mistakes.

The right of such specialists is to demand assistance from senior management. He has the right to insist on studying the papers on the work of the transferred production zone. In addition, he can sign papers in his area of ​​competence. As you can see, the future foreman will perform intermediary and organizational functions.

The work manager is a line engineering and technical specialist. He manages production and resolves economic issues of the site. A candidate for a position is subject to a number of requirements, including not only higher education and work experience, but also possession of certain knowledge and skills.

The project manager is a role that is widely understood in most industries - and construction is no different in this regard. At a construction site, this is the person who controls and coordinates everyone else. They are also called foremen.

They are not necessarily super specialists or the best architects/builders, but what is certain is that their role is to coordinate and manage a selected and trained team of people to deliver a project. Superintendents allow owners to feel almost completely free from the hassle associated with building a house.

What are the responsibilities of a foreman?

A professional team leader can play an additional role in the project, for example, he can act as an architect or an expert in personnel selection and hiring special equipment.

The foreman's responsibilities also include:

1. Managing daily work on the construction site;
2. Attracting design and technical experience to the project;
3. Monitoring compliance with safety and labor protection standards at construction sites;
4. Work with all contracts and estimates;

How to hire a good foreman?

Finding a good project manager is like searching for gold, but it's worth it. You can use the following recommendations:

• Start with professional associations, SROs in private housing construction. Such organizations provide accreditation and certification for professional project managers; it is quite difficult to get there, which is a guarantee of professionalism. You can go to their websites, visit their offices and choose the most suitable company;
• Learn as much information as possible about the foreman: his experience, completed work, portfolio, individual expertise. This needs to be done in person, when meeting: today, as a rule, we look for a lot on the Internet, and forget that face-to-face communication is the best way to establish trust and confidence in the interlocutor. If you have any doubts after the meeting, it is better to look for another foreman;
• Personal recommendations are always a good source, but remember that each project is individual, there are subtleties in the construction process, and many circumstances that affect the progress of projects and the people involved in them. In this case, it is important not to rely entirely on someone else’s opinion, but also to use “your head,” ask for facts and analyze.

How much should a foreman be paid?

All costs are estimated, usually as a percentage of the estimated cost of the project - this gives the superintendent an idea of ​​what level of remuneration they can expect.

Before appointing a foreman, it is better to document everything - by signing a contract with a pre-agreed price for his services. Otherwise, you risk seriously overpaying if something goes wrong, the deadlines are delayed or the costs of construction and materials increase.

And remember that the main task of the foreman is to save you money and eliminate the unnecessary hassle associated with building a house. You hire this person to ensure that construction goes smoothly and that the facility is built with high quality and in strict accordance with the project. A good foreman is not cheap, but his work compensates for most of the potential risks and costs that may arise in the future.
