【Serial】 Site Management Point
VOL. 1：Schedule Management
There are situation where attention shall be paid on the different business practice and legal rules in overseas.
The first is about schedule management.
In Japan, it is a definite for project to be completed within schedule but in overseas, despite the fact of compensation for delay
as indicated in the contract, construction delays tend to happen with various reasons given.
In Japan, construction delays also happened due to weather, design change, authorities issues etc. however, the Japanese contractors
will take all efforts they could such as overtime work, increase manpower to recover the schedule. However, given the same
situations, the local contractors may recover the schedule with a cost up, and they may also submit progress claims even without
having the construction delay recovered.
So how we could make the local contractor to complete the construction within schedule.
In order to prevent the construction delay, we will send personnel with construction experience to the site to coordinate and makenecessary adjustment. For instance, for continuity of construction work, check and ensure there are no inconsistency of drawings
before starting any area of work. And, to avoid construction delay due to client’s decision delay, prepare a list of all items
required decision with deadline provision and share among client, contractors and other parties concerned. In addition, besides
seeking cause of schedule delay from site responsible person, it is also important to advise the client on the countermeasures.
In Japan the design consultant and general contractors will take such actions by themselves but unfortunately such actions
could not be expected in Malaysia. Therefore, in overseas, it is required to have specialist in project management.

Following the trend of rising construction costs in Japan today, the task of lowering the construction costs has become utmost important.
For quality and schedule, since the reliability of Japanese general contractors is high, big problems are rarely occurred as long as major
items are under control.
The situation would be different when it comes to ASEAN. Besides having low knowledge of the contractor in site supervision, they haveno awareness towards project completion schedule as promised with the Customer. Therefore, the monitoring point by our technical staff isalso different. We make every important milestone of the schedule fromfoundation work until building completion for a close on-site supervision.
To avoid construction delay, sufficient discussion will be conducted and it is important to understand and respect each other’s position.

Same as in Malaysia, it is important to make basic plans and specifications of a building within budget atthe basic design stage.
