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 cannot 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 draughts men. 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 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 organization: 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

Page 21: NCP 23 Final

8/10/2019 NCP 23 Final

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ncp-23-final 21/27

and how it is to be done is the starting point of site organization. Site organization in simple terms,

means how to organise the construction activity on site. A typical site organization for a division,

headed by an executive engineer is shown here:-

Authority:

Executive Engineer:

1.  To coordinate the work of various contractors and to check whether all necessary

instructions have been provided to the contractors.

2.  To check the progress of work regularly and to arrange for rectification of faulty

workmanship or inferior quality material.

3.  Clearing all bills related to construction work for which he is the final authority.

4.  To carry out technical audit and settlement of final contractual dues.

Assistant Engineer:

1.  To check the specifications of construction jobs in regard to the quality of materials,

method of workmanship.

2.  to plan and organize construction work in his section in order to avoid delay in the

process of work.

3. 

To keep a record of all measurements of work done and tests carried out at site

4.  .To report regularly to the executive engineer on all the above matters.

Junior Engineer/Supervisor/Foremen:

1.  To supervise the execution of work at the site in their respective sections.

2. 

To place indents of material well in advance to avoid delay in the progress of

construction work.

3.  To control and provide technical guidance to workers.

4.  To check and test materials for quality and quantity.

5.  To measure the quantity of work done for the purpose of payment and progress.

6.  To report regularly to the assistant engineer on all matters related to site.

Role of Mistry/Skilled worker:

This category include carpenters, steel fixers, machine operators, drivers, fitters, pipe

 jointers etc. They are usually recruited locally for their respective jobs. Their job is to keep

the work going at the right speed and in the right manner in their sections.

Page 23: NCP 23 Final

8/10/2019 NCP 23 Final

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ncp-23-final 23/27

Role of Labourers:

They are the ones who assist skilled workers and performed many unskilled jobs mat the

site. They expect the right payment and need to be given clear instructions regarding what

to do.

Important Duties/Role of Project Manager :

1.  To coordinate the entire construction work on site and with the headoffice.

2.  To direct and control the construction work on site.

3.  To employ work force, hire machinery, engage sub-contractors and material

suppliers with or without reference to head office depending on the size of the

project, policy of the firm, distance from head office and also his standing within the

firm.

4.  To organize, direct and control men working under him.

5.  To check the Progress of work regularly in orders to avoid delay in construction

work.

6.  To call periodically joint meeting of several key personnel working at the site to

review progress and to issue instruction for speeding up work, if required. The duties

of the resident engineer, Site engineer etc. and are similar to those of the executive

Engineer, Assistant Engineer etc. 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

Page 24: NCP 23 Final

8/10/2019 NCP 23 Final

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ncp-23-final 24/27

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

other 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 notable 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 overall 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.

Making Staff Work as a way of organization life:

An understanding of staff authority lays the foundation for an organizational way of life.

Where staffs 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 ou tof 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 and 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 complete knowledge of that work and deputed by parties involved.

these person or persons appointed to settle the dispute is called "Arbitrator". Arbitrator

gives decision on the basis of evidences available; enquiries made and his own skills and

knowledge. His decision accepted by both the parties and also incorporated in the

decree of the court if required i.e. if earlier decision is not accepted by either of the

parties and if matter is referred to court of law. Arbitrator has to take such decision

which must be correct and accepted by both the parties. As such Arbitration is an

expensive way of settling the dispute between owner and contractor. As far as possible

matter is solved at very first or second level only. In extreme cases matter is referred to

court. The judiciary procedure and law takes very long hence people to avoid it. The

communication of proposals, the acceptance of proposals and the revocation of

proposals and acceptance, respectively are deemed to be made by any act or omission

of the party proposing, accepting or revoking by which he intends to communicate such

proposal, acceptance or revocation, or which has the effect of communicating it.

Communication is complete is as follows:

1.  Communication of a proposal is complete when it comes to the knowledge of the

person to whom it is made.

2.  Communication of an acceptance is complete when it comes to the knowledge of

the Proposer.

3.  Communication of a revocation is complete when it comes to the knowledge of the

person against whom it is made.

Acceptance by performing conditions or receiving consideration:

Performance of the condition of the proposal, for the acceptance of any consideration

for a reciprocal promise which may be offered with a proposal, is an acceptance of the

proposal. All agreements are contracts if they are made by the free consent of parties

competent to contract, for a lawful consideration and with a lawful object, and are not

hereby expressly declared to be void. The consideration or object of an agreement is

lawful, unless it is forbidden by law, or -is of such nature that, if permitted it would

defeat the provisions of any law or is fraudulent or -the court regards it as immoral, or

opposed to public policy. In each of the above cases, the consideration or object of

agreement is said be unlawful. Every agreement of which the object or consideration is

unlawful is void.

CONCLUSION:

Public contract are required to be let in accordance with certain statutes. The

performance of construction work is done pursuant to contractual agreement. Although

there are numerous types of contracts, the contractor's obligation and initial concern is

much more basic. With the proper understanding of the basic requirements for the

formation of legal contract, the contractor will be better able to avoid pitfalls, lawsuits

and liabilities. The essential contractual requirements are an offer, an acceptance of the

offer and consideration.
