Project
Manpower Allocation
Construction projects require the orchestration of
men, materials and equipment. A key component of the
successful mix of those resources is the proper planning
of manpower. That evaluation is one of the most challenging
tasks in today’s construction environment. Evaluating
manpower needs for critical trades in advance
of commencing the work and effectively recruiting
those workmen is often the determining factor of successful
projects. Pearson recommends that contractors utilize
detailed manhour estimates of critical trades and
manpower loading of activities scheduling those trades.
During the monitoring phase, Pearson checks daily
reports and certified payrolls to determine whether
a proper workforce is in place, thus providing a check
of progress more frequently than the typical monthly
schedule updates. Lack of proper manpower can be the
cause of crippling project delays.
