What Challenges Do Construction Site Managers Face?

Definition: A Site Manager (or Construction Supervisor) is responsible for overseeing multiple construction projects, coordinating teams, managing resources, and ensuring project timelines are met.

Meet Andrew Peterson, Head Site Manager at a premium residential construction company:

• 12 years in construction

• Manages 15 concurrent projects

• Oversees 8 supervisors and 120+ workers

• Specializes in luxury residential complexes

How Was Paperwork Killing Productivity?

"The most frustrating part? Instead of actually managing construction, I was drowning in paperwork," Andrew explains. "Every morning meant supervisor meetings. Every evening meant collecting reports. Half my day was spent gathering information about completed work, materials, and issues."

"Then came the data entry into Excel, sending reports to management, answering questions... And this was daily. I spent far less time on-site than I should have."

What Were the Key Management Problems?

1. Excessive time spent on information gathering and processing

2. Delayed decision-making due to bureaucracy

3. Lack of real-time team oversight

4. Difficulty scaling processes across multiple sites
