Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
Today's blog post is a little late.
Lately, as I’ve been out on site, I’ve gradually been getting back into the swing of things.
And that's when the fatigue really starts to set in, huh? lol
Mornings are tough...
But that's beside the point.
On-Site Planning
Here are some important points to keep in mind when managing a project on-site.
Just doing this will make it easier to understand the current situation on the shop floor and anticipate the next steps in the process.
It will also help you keep things running smoothly on set. (For Beginner Directors)
1. What am I going to do starting tomorrow?
What kind of work is it?
When will the materials arrive?
How many people are coming?
What about safety facilities?
2. Where should I start today?
Where are the materials located, and how are they transported?
Who is working in which position?
Do the installation location and method match the drawings?
3. How much progress have you made since 1:00 p.m. today?
I'll check the progress for the day around 1:00 p.m.
On the first day, the focus is mainly on getting organized, but starting on the second day, you'll need to estimate how long each task will take.
Do we have enough materials?
Are there any factors to watch for starting tomorrow?
What kind of work will we be doing tomorrow?
What type of work will be done in three days?
Is there any news coming out in three days?
What's the weather going to be like this week?
4. Will any new vendors enter the market?
When should I start?
When will the materials for that project arrive?
Confirmation of the construction site, construction methods, and drawings.
Clarifying the scope of work and confirming the construction site with the contractor who was there first
For now, just this much is enough to keep things running smoothly on-site. (There’s plenty more, though, lol.)
An important part of a site supervisor’s job is to plan for the future.
A craftsman will do the work right now.
When the director focuses on work a few days ahead, the shoot keeps moving forward.
If a site supervisor gets caught up in day-to-day tasks, people will say that their planning is poor and that they can’t get the job done.
However, if you lay the groundwork effectively by anticipating what will happen a few days down the road, the craftsmen will quickly catch up with you later on, so
As long as we lay that foundation firmly, we’ll be able to effectively manage the progress and quality of our current work.
Let's carefully lay out the path ahead by following the schedule!
See you later.
