During The project

• The Project Coordinators most important role is overseeing on site work and communicating with the customer and Cooper project management.

Daily Meetings Every day will start with a safety meeting. If additional work is being conducted, customers will often have a joint safety meeting for all contractors. After the safety meeting, the Project Coordinator should meet with Coopers contractors and identify tasks for the day. It is important to understand the entire scope of the project as well as the critical path items which can affect the schedule. The Project Coordinator should direct the work, not react as it is happening. At the end of the day, construction should meet again with the contractors to see what they have accomplished.

Communication The Project Coordinator must keep in constant communication with the project manager. An agreed upon reporting structure should be established so the project manager knows about on-site progress and any issues that arise. Additionally, the on-site customer contact should be regularly updated as well.

Documentation The Project Coordinator should create a daily report. This report will include all meetings conducted, daily plans, project status, etc. This document is important for many reasons, one of the most important is tracking time. This will help with bidding future projects as it gives an idea of how much time construction of different types actually takes. Additionally, if there is standby time or anything where the customer will receive a variation order/change order, we have the documentation to present. This report also keeps project management well informed.

Identifying Changes in Scope Project Coordinators, as part of construction supervision duties, should also be aware of additional work that falls outside of the original scope and make sure that is communicated to project management and
