Over my 30 years in civil engineering, managing sites and projects taught me some invaluable lessons. Here are my top 5 tips:
- Plan meticulously: Always review drawings, schedules, and resources before starting.
- Communicate constantly: Clear communication with your team, contractors, and clients avoids costly mistakes.
- Safety first: Never compromise on safety; it protects lives and projects.
- Document everything: Keep records of decisions, changes, and incidents; it saves headaches later.
- Learn from mistakes: Every project teaches something new; embrace lessons and share them.
