Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
It's really like this every time—or rather, this is all I think about at this time of year.
That's right—pollen!
It tends to become all about this one thing.
No matter how hard I try to forget, my runny nose just won't stop...
Let's just forget about it! Even the fact that my nose is running...
People often tell me at work, “Your nose is running, you know?” but I don’t really care that my nose is running lol
But that's beside the point.
"Construction management is easy for anyone!" Yeah, right!
People tend to think construction management is pretty easy, don't they?
The director is taking photos on set.
The young craftsman thinks the supervisor is just taking pictures, lol.
Apparently, he thinks I'm just doing some paperwork at the office.
One of our younger employees mentioned it, so I gave them a thorough explanation (lol).
Well, that's true, but the vast majority of a director's work actually takes place after filming wraps up.
This applies to major companies.
Man, it's a total nightmare with all these internal documents, lol.
I think employees at big companies really have it tough.
There are companies where you have to fill out an approval form just to spend 10,000 yen on-site, and you can’t make the purchase until the approval comes through.
It feels like, "We're wrapping up here, right?" lol
For every matter, we handle the paperwork—from weekly site schedules to progress reports, monthly financial statements by site, weekly reports, daily reports, and so on.
In the case of local businesses
Although there isn't a lot of internal paperwork, I have to juggle multiple on-site assignments, which makes that part of the job quite challenging.
Since a single employee has to handle all sorts of tasks, the burden on a single supervisor is quite heavy.
Especially around the time of completion, they seem to be really busy—they’re so swamped with paperwork they don’t even have time to sleep, lol.
Even a craftsman can take photos for construction management as part of their day job.
However, the photos taken by the craftsman are nothing more than snapshots.
That can't be called a stock photo.
The director knows exactly what he wants to capture in his photos.
The reason is that we take these photos with a full understanding of the photography standards and construction specifications.
Some of the mistakes I used to make all the time—like working while smoking behind me, or not wearing a helmet, lol.
It was really a struggle back in the days of film photography, wasn't it?
I think, generally speaking, directors shoot scenes in a way that looks cool and is easy to understand.
Tidying up the area behind the shot, cleaning up any trash, and asking people to step aside if they're in the way.
From a craftsman’s perspective, this is a common sight for supervisors, isn’t it?
The director is working hard to ensure that the craftsmanship flows smoothly.
It is the supervisor’s job to ensure that the craftsmen’s work flows smoothly while keeping it within the design specifications.
To a large extent, whether a craftsman's work progresses or not depends on the supervisor.
Of course, the opposite is also true.
The Job of a Construction Site Supervisor
It can be hard to understand what a director does on set, but there’s actually an incredible amount to it.
That’s exactly why construction management isn’t a job you can just jump into.
So to speak,The supervisor is actually a construction management professional.
If we say that a craftsman’s performance is judged by how the job site looks, then a site supervisor’s performance is probably judged most heavily by the government agency’s score! (Public works)
Since I used to be a site supervisor myself, I want to do my job with a keen eye for the details that matter to the general contractor.
(If I'm a first-tier subcontractor) I'll take it on even if I'm a second-tier subcontractor, as long as I'm in charge of construction management, lol.
We want to be a construction company that can support a director like that.
See you later.
