Supervision is the job that has no single deliverable. Nobody thanks a builder for the week where nothing went wrong, and the difference between a job that runs and a job that limps is a hundred small decisions made in the right order, mostly before the trade turns up.

This course covers the full supervision workload of a residential build. Pre-construction planning and approvals, site establishment, daily supervision and trade coordination, the sequencing decisions that either compress a program or blow it out, quality checks at the stages where rework is still cheap, managing subcontractors who work for several builders at once, and the handover process that ends a job rather than starting a defects argument. It also covers documenting supervision so that decisions can be reconstructed later.

It is filed under the NSW Business management CPD topic, where project management is one of the regulator’s own examples, and earns points at the 1-point-per-hour tier under the NSW scheme.

The full supervision workload of a residential build: pre-construction planning and approvals, site establishment, daily supervision and trade coordination, program management, cost control, quality inspections and the communication systems that hold a project together.

You'll learn: Plan, schedule and supervise a residential project end-to-end — coordinating trades, controlling cost and quality, and keeping the program current as conditions change.
