Over my 30 years in civil engineering, managing sites and projects taught me some invaluable lessons. Here are my top 5 tips: 1. Plan meticulously: Always review drawings, schedules, and resources before starting. 2. Communicate constantly: Clear communication with your team, contractors, and clients avoids costly mistakes. 3. Safety first: Never compromise on safety; it protects lives and projects. 4. Document everything: Keep records of decisions, changes, and incidents; it saves headaches later. 5. Learn from mistakes: Every project teaches something new; embrace lessons and share them. 💬 Discussion: Which of these have you faced on your projects? What lessons would you add?
