Working as a team the two management (Site Manager and Supervisor) roles split, one at the start of the build getting the framing done etc, the other role does all the finishes. Working closely together to ensure that everyone is where they are supposed to be at the right time and at the highest level of quality. You will be working on about 10 houses in different stages of construction at one time, the build should take 12-16 weeks, depending on whether it's a single storey or split-level home that you are building at that time. Your role is to utilise onsite companion and ensure that all the contractors are where they should be doing what they are supposed to, ensuring that you are ahead of them so that all supplies are delivered on time. Ensuring that you call them to site at the right time, when they can work full tilt, no downtime, as they should be literally moving from one house to the next if you are doing your job right!
