MANAGEMENT CHECKLIST – PART 1

Any significant and challenging undertaking requires a strategic, and comprehensive plan. Without this plan and road map, it would be like navigating in the dark and therefore exposed to many unknown risks.

While having comprehensive drawings and excellent con- tractors are prerequisites to a good building, an accurate and detailed plan and checklist is crucial. Without this, a project may face significant delays, incur unexpected costs, inherit unwanted design defects, face conflict with subcontractors and/or clients, legal complications and ul- timately and accumulatively, deciding the fate of the proj- ect, delineating between success and failure.

This topic will be discussed for the first time in this edi- tion, and will continue for several subsequent editions. The writer welcomes readers’ feedback and collaboration on this topic.
