HOW TO WRITE A FABULOUS CONSTRUCTION REPORT.
Writing a report on a site you visited can pose a problem if you don't know what you are expected to write.
To write a good site construction report, here are some of guidelines to writing a gnarly site report
1) PROJECT/CONTRACTORS BOARD: here, you are expected to write all the information available on the board,such as the name of client, contractor, the builder, Quantity surveyor, architect and every other professional that are part of the construction team.
Its its usually located at the entrance to a site. Its always a cynosure.
In a case where there is no project board, you'll need to be inquisitive about those information. 2) THE NAME OF THE BUILDER/ENGINEER IN CHARGE OF THE PROJECT: your manner of approach will go a long way to if the builder or engineer on site will give attention to your request. Once you overcome such, you can conveniently ask of his/ her name and qualifications.
3) DATE & TIME OF VISIT: The date must be included in your report. The time of visit must equally be recorded ( time or entry and time of exit)
4) MAIN BODY OF THE REPORT: the body of d report should contain general information about the project such as the type of the building, purpose of the building, etc. Here you also write about the things you met the operatives on site doing and the stage/level at which the construction is presently, for instance, maybe the level of work is trench excavation or they have gone up to roof level. The site layout, safety measures on site, whatever the case may be.
You also need to explain extensively the methods/techniques of construction adopted for the project.
Don't forget that it's pertinent that you ensure you add new things you see on site; such as new method of construction, new materials on site, improved techniques and facilities etc. 5) MATERIALS & EQUIPMENTS: you need to be observant to pen down list of materials and equipments you saw on d site and what they are used for. 6) PICTURES and SKETCHES: ensure that pictures and sketches of observed construction details, plans, equipment, element you saw on the site are present in ur report. To have a good site visit report, all of the aforementioned points must be present in it.
ADVICE:
>on your entry to any site, respect is reciprocal they say. Ensure you work up to the site office if any and ask of the builder/engineer in charge of the construction.
> introduce your personality ( you can show you identity card I.e ID Card) as a means of identification and state the aim /objective(s)of visit.
> once the builder or engineer allows you on site, do as questions and be observant.
>Conversely, if you are denied access to the site, kindly walk away to the next site of visit.
>Endeavour to ask questions on things you don't understand and be courteous in you manner of approach.
The aforementioned guildlines above will surely help construction student to write a good construction report.
We believe and its of a surety that we do it better than any other profession in the construction industry. That is why we are always been envied. #BUILDERS BUILD RIGHT... COURTESY: #I&C BUILDERS, FUTA CHAPTER.

[/color]BUILDERS WILL TAKE THEIR PLACE!!!

someone first asked, what is the difference between a builder and a civil engineer?
I took time to enlightened him; read along with me.
Concerning professionals in construction industry, let me briefly state the roles of relating profession.
we all believe that the major role of an architect is production of building plans; considering some principles, (not to construct or supervise building production.)
Her own is to liaise with the builder on how to bring his dream on the CAD or paper to reality. The builder ensures BUILDABLITY. Mind you, Architectural design is not a graphics design.
For acclaimed civil Engineers, categorically speaking, they have seven branches and that a part of it is the structures.
The role of structural engineer is to design for all structural members such as beams, columns slabs structural steelwork etc., liaise her design with the builder on how visible is the fabrication of all these members and their arrangement to fulfill the aim of his design( under worst loading the structure most not fail).
A building services man designs for mechanical/ electrical services and liaise with builder on the arrangement and fixing ( hmmm... I know you will argue that he can't do that)
The quantity surveyor takes care of the estimations of project.
Now, who understands estimation process the more? structural engineer, architect, others professionals?
The fact remains that, if (Qs) overestimate or price substandard materials or add up what is not suppose to be, it is only a builder that understand the techniques of estimation.
so what's now the work of a builder?

From the aforementioned premises, judge for yourself.
The next question the person asked is ,you mean it is only builders that can do all d work on site, when it comes to structures?
I laughed, and i gave emphatic NO.
According to Nigeria building code, builders are not trained to hijack the work of other professions but due to the vast scope of our profession, we use all the knowledge we gain from all others professions to carry out BUILDING PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT....
That's why a builder can easily detect error and suggest correction to architect design because, whenever he sees design, he does not only view it from the perspective based on architectural mentality alone but reason about the structural stability, estimation in other to be economically safe and comfort of the occupant(s) and maintenance including the aesthetical view.
Hope you are getting along.
The next question ,what is d difference between structural and civil engineer?
To me, to call someone civil engineer is a wrong usage because the word ''civil engineer'' is like a general name that encompasses all construction expertise.
so, ''structural engineer'' is someone who's area of specialisation in civil engineering is mainly in structures.
someone that specialise in highway construction is not a structural engineer which implies he/she should not have any thing to do with structures. Mind you, a structural engineer is not a builder
Friends, construction is in three(3) aspects. The design, fabrication(production and management) and maintenance
.
So, if your interest is more of design, then, architecture or civil engineering is good but if your interest is the actual construction of building (of course, we all want to bring our dreams of building or structure to come true) then, the best choice for you is to call on ''a builder'' which in the profession is the only professional that span across all other professions in construction company industries for effective delivery of a project.
NB. As regards the incessant building collapse in Nigeria that have been recorded so far, who then are those responsible for such project. Is it not those that form bossy on such project(s) and yet it collapsed?
Hummm... Let me not mention the profession. Because you know yourself.
Mind you,since the builders have been handling projects and structure, BUILDERS have NO record(s) on building that are managed and supervised by a professional builders that have ever collapsed!!!
you can Google search to confirm... No not one.(1)
...ALL PROFESSIONS IN BUILT ENVIRONMENT ARE UNIQUE IN THEIR OWN WAYS..
The next question is....

Be wise, engage professional (builders) for effective delivery.

That's one of the reason ASUU is fighting against government on funding issue.. You see such amount donated to private university and Mr governor will not do that to public university! So pathetic... All they want is to make private university to strive just like their private primary schools and private secondary school have outshorn government own... Only GOd can save us from slavery and selfish interests of our git leaders...
