Four parts, Monday to Friday

1 · Mon–WedProgress is collected in parallel: three discipline engineers and a site walk. Reminder on Wednesday, cut-off Thursday noon.
2 · Behind scheduleAsk the contractor for reasons; disputed numbers are discussed and re-checked on site.
3 · ThursdaySummary, review by the construction manager, remarks closed with colleagues first.
4 · FridayFinal report to head office; delays of 2+ weeks go on the management meeting agenda.

Drawn from memory. The employer is not named; labels are simplified.
Next in the course: analysis, simulation and a TO-BE redesign.
