TIME MANAGEMENT

In your position, managing your time effectively can mean the difference between a job completed on time and one that is not. When you manage your schedule well, you allow for a smooth transition from one task to another, which leads to a better-quality home and on time delivery to your internal and external partners and ultimately, your Homeowners. By managing your time effectively, you can promote a healthy work-life balance, which results in experiencing success on the jobsite and being able to enjoy important moments with family and friends. Organization of time is different for each Construction Manager. You are encouraged to develop a system for identifying and managing priorities. This preparation is critical, not only for your efficiency and stress management, but also in how it affects those on your team and beyond. Take time to evaluate what needs to be accomplished and prioritize what is most important. Daily Routine Creating a daily routine that works best for you and helps you complete necessary tasks is vital to your success. Maintain your focus on daily tasks when pulled in different directions, then get back to your daily routine quickly. While creating this routine, consider the following: location of your division and community, the time of year, and of course, the weather. Be mindful of permitted working hours. There may be a Homeowners Association (HOA) or a local municipality with rules that set specific work days and hours of construction. You are responsible for knowing what they are and setting your schedule accordingly. Discuss the hours of operation for your community with your manager. Understanding his/her expectations will help assist you in creating your daily routine.
