Project Closure Preparing and a Subcontractor’s Work Performance Control and Acceptance in Construction Management in Russia

Abstract

The goal of the bachelor’s thesis was to find out ways to decrease the amount of work during project closure by improving quality of subcontractor’s work, timely detection and termination of defects and flaws and controlling the time schedule of works. The joint activities of general contractor and subcontractor must be aimed at ensuring the timely commissioning of production capacities and facilities, strict implementation of plans and schedules.

One of the strategies used to improve coordination efforts is a weekly subcontractor meeting. The primary focus of these meetings is to review work progress, update changes in the schedule, discuss potential interface conflicts, share information regarding equipment and personnel requirements, address any discrepancies in the plans and specs, and clarify any procedural questions.

In construction companies to improve construction quality a composite quality control system is developed and embedded. It is based on company quality standards. The quality of civil and erection works depends not only on the work of executors, but on the active participation of the whole construction company personnel.

Building a work acceptance schedule and controlling its implementation is very important in order to complete the project on time. The time schedule that was made during work on the building site helped to organize the acceptance of works and thus this will not be a problem at the end of the projects.
