What is the Role of a House Builder Site Supervisor?

Not all house builders Melbourne are specialists in one trade or another, some are on site for the exclusive purpose of making sure that the project is progressing as expected and that all the practices being used are safe an responsible. Site supervisors are needed on construction projects of all sizes, including the construction of detached dwellings and terraces, as well as the renovation or extension of existing homes.

The daily work of a house builder supervisor is to manage the daily schedule of work, as well as keep a complete record of all materials and processes used on site. The site supervisor therefore needs to have a grounding in many different skills, as well as a proficiency in reading architectural  blueprints.

All construction workers require some level of site supervision, otherwise there would be no way of ensuring that separate elements of the project are constructed concurrently and harmonically. Site supervisors are also responsible for ensuring the safety of all contractors, employees and visitors.  The site supervisor will decide when different tradespeople can commence their work, and has the authority to cancel or suspend a process as they see fit.

Construction site supervisors are also required on heavy commercial and industrial construction. These jobs often require extra vigilance and planning to ensure the safety of all workers and passers-by in the close proximity of heavy machinery and extensive scaffolding systems.

Site supervisors working with both house builders and commercial companies have the opportunity to oversee a major project from start to finish, taking personal responsibility for the overall success of the construction.
