Superintendent Services from AQS
The AQS construction superintendent services oversees every aspect of a building project, starting with basic proposals and worker agreements and ending with final inspections and, in many cases, reports to owners or investors. Most superintendents have background experience as construction workers and from time to time they may actually help with physical building projects. The bulk of their job is in organizing and managing, however, which makes training in business administration and leadership quite valuable.
Superintendents in many ways function as bosses for building sites. It is their responsibility to make sure that projects are completed on schedule, within budget, and in a way that is safe and follows local building codes and laws. There is a lot of paperwork, particularly when it comes to things like building permits and licensing materials, but the job also requires significant personal interactions. Most superintendents are in charge of both making teams and resolving conflicts large and small.
Wikipedia States the following for Superintendent Services, at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superintendent_(construction):
On large construction projects, the superintendent’s job is to run the day-to-day operations on the construction site and control the short-term schedule. The role of the superintendent also includes important quality control and subcontractor coordination responsibilities. It is common for most finance-related tasks (especially labor and material cost control) and long-term scheduling to be handled by a project manager. The project manager and superintendent need to cooperate and share control effectively. Superintendents are almost universally stationed on the construction site, while project managers are usually based in the contractor’s office with part-time on site responsibilities.
On anything other than small projects, he or she is often assisted by a project engineer also employed by the construction company.
On very large projects, those generally in excess of $100m, there are multiple tiers of superintendents. These tiers are generally broken down into the following: Program superintendent, super-structure superintendents, MEPF (mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection) superintendents, interior superintendents, craft/trade superintendents and assistant superintendents. There is a similar tier for the project management side.
Program superintendents are responsible for the overall coordination and completion of the project through the direction of the second and third tiers of superintendents. Program superintendents commonly have very little hands on construction interaction due to delegation to other tier superintendents. The number of hours worked may reflect the tier of the superintendent, with program superintendents generally having a normal Monday thru Friday (8:00am to 5:00pm work schedule). The compensation package is also related to the tier level of the superintendent.
