[English | 简体] Commencement of Works

A good start helps significantly to finish the forthcoming project correctly , fluently and efficiently , on time and under control . Each duty staff should have a general picture of what he / she has to proceed on his / her part of work and should try to make use of their personnel skills , engineering knowledge and site experience to foresee and establish an in-house system or check list before commences the work . Herein some issues are contractual while some of them are procedural . This chapter mentions most of the issues that have to be prepared and aware of by the site staff.

Note : Someone may think that the confirmations on issues such as commencement date , possession of site , initial joint survey , first receipt of construction drawings , master programme , etc are too formal at beginning of work that might violate the harmony between the employer and the contractor . However , most of the site disputes actually arise from the lack of setting out these base lines.
