Due to the difference in the nature and specific features of numerous types of construction and installation works, various types of trusts or associations can exist in the production system of this area. The construction trust is one of the main self-supporting links in the management system. It has economic independence and has at its disposal certain labor and material resources.
Its functionality
The main tasks performed by the trust include:
1. The function of erection and commissioning of construction facilities and capacities, the production of the entire complex of installation and construction works in compliance with quality and timeliness indicators.
2. Increasing and optimal use of all available capacities, increasing the production efficiency of the construction industry through intensification.
3. Solving the problem of systematic increase in labor productivity and competent distribution of labor resources through the introduction and development of team contracting functions.
4. Cost reduction of conductedworks on the construction of the facility and the overall improvement of the entire organization of production and management in this area.
5. Development and implementation of the necessary activities related to environmental protection.
How the work is going on
Methods of possible construction - contract and self-supporting. In the first case, all the necessary work is carried out by specific design and construction organizations, attracting their own personnel and material and technical resources on the basis of contract agreements. Their task is to build and hand over the construction object to the customer on time within the time period stipulated by such an agreement.
As a rule, the organization of work with the help of a contractor allows for the operational management of both material and labor resources, which makes it possible to commission fixed assets at the right time and fulfill the planned tasks related to increasing labor productivity and reducing time costs.
What can a trust be?
Furthermore, trusts can differ in the types of activities they carry out. Some of them are engaged in general construction operations, involving a wide range of basic works in this area - from earthworks to finishing. Others have a narrow specialization in a certain type or a whole range of homogeneous operations (for example, geodetic or assembly).
As for the coverage of the area of activity, the construction trust can be both a city-level site and exist on a territorial andeven an all-union organization.
Who the trust consists of
The control apparatus is divided into line and functional personnel. The first includes those employees of the trust itself and its divisions who perform certain special functions in preparing production and managing its conduct. Functional personnel include all the rest - foremen and senior foremen, foremen, surveyors, mechanics, dispatchers, etc. Its lowest link is a construction worker.
The administration of the trust is an apparatus subordinate to its manager, whose function is to lead the SMU. The manager is authorized to single-handedly organize the work of the entire enterprise without issuing additional powers of attorney. On behalf of the trust, he represents his organization in contacts with third-party legal entities and individuals, manages its funds and property, has the right to conclude contracts, issue powers of attorney and open bank accounts on behalf of the enterprise.
Organizational structure of a construction company
To perform the tasks of normal functioning, the trust, like any organization, must have a number of divisions in its composition. They relate to the main production, that is, the performance of construction and installation work, as well as ancillary, related to the manufacture of semi-finished products and those that serve the main working needs. In this case, we are talking about transport, supplies, etc.
The connecting link between the structural links of the organization (trust) isthe main of its organs is the control system. The functions of each of the divisions can be schematically displayed by building a certain structure of the construction organization. Let's take a quick look at what they do in the main departments.
In the main links - SMU (construction and installation departments) and UNR (offices of the head of work) - they are busy with the procedure for the direct implementation of the entire investment project or some part of it. Here there is an active use of the resources and materials necessary in the construction process.
What is PPR
These departments have no fundamental differences in the structure of the construction organization. Their task is to ensure the successful functioning of such a difficult process as construction. For these purposes, the so-called WEPs (projects for the production of works) are developed and applied, which include many components - from technological maps and documents related to the quality of construction and installation work, to schedule plans with a detailed schedule for organizing the construction process.
The organizational structure of these units may vary depending on the size or production capacity of the machine. Accordingly, the positions of those responsible for the main departments may vary somewhat, for example, "capital construction engineer" or the like
What do they do at each site?
Duties of Chief Engineer
The chief (manager) with the help of two or three deputies manages everythingenterprise.
The position of chief engineer implies the solution of issues of technical and production activities, as well as responsibility for labor safety and its proper organization. He can be called the chief technologist for construction. The departments that are subordinate to him are the production and technical (PTO), as well as the organization of labor and wages (OTiZ).
Under the supervision of the chief engineer, in addition to the services of the chief mechanic and responsible for safety. The position of the latter is usually Senior Engineer.
What do VETs do
The task of the PTO is to accept from the management of the trust or from the direct customer a package of design estimates for the object that is planned for construction. The next stage is to study it with the identification of all possible inconsistencies and comments, formulating claims if necessary. Then, if there is no project for the production of works, the task of the VET is to organize its development.
This department plays a leading role in determining material needs - stocks of materials, structures and products, as well as all the necessary mechanisms and technical means. VET also plans the optimal organization of the production process both at the facility itself and in all ancillary industries. Employees of this department distribute production tasks among the performers, monitor in the process of work the compliance of their execution with design and estimate documents, as well as numerous requirements of SNiP (this is howbuilding codes and regulations are abbreviated).
Other VET functions
The structure of a construction organization, as a rule, also refers to the tasks of this department the control of the actual consumption of the necessary materials and accounting for the expenditure of labor resources. Among other things, its specialists should monitor compliance with safety and sanitation standards at the construction site.
He also organizes and controls the execution of all executive documentation. VET conducts activities for technical training of engineers (engineering and technical workers) and operating personnel.
Other positions and divisions
What does the chief mechanic do? His job is to identify the need for the right amount and types of building mechanisms and machines necessary for the work. Plans for automation and mechanization of work are also being developed by him. The duty of the chief mechanic is to provide the facility with the necessary amount of electricity, oxygen, compressed air and acetylene to conduct all the most important production processes.
OTiZ (Department of labor and wages) helps the main producers develop and prepare planned work tasks for each team, forms a regulatory framework for labor, maintains all reporting on the costs of working time and human resources.
Under the authority of the HSE engineer (safety) - training employees in competent ways to carry out construction operations, briefing, monitoring compliance with safety standards.
Economic issues
The area of responsibility of the chief economist is planned work, together with the analysis of activities and the solution of all commercial issues of the SMU. He has several departments subordinate to him - from planning to estimate and contract, including, of course, the accounting department of a construction organization. The role of the latter is one of the most important. Everyone knows that no enterprise is able to function without this service.
In the planning department, with the direct participation of the heads of sections, both annual and operational production plans for the activities of the entire SMU and its specific divisions are developed. The results of each past planning period are also summarized there. Together with the accounting department, the fulfillment of all tasks is taken into account and the costs incurred are summed up, statistical reports are compiled and an analysis is made of all the activities of the trust in the production and economic plan.
Accounting department and department of estimates and contracts
The task of the accounting department of a construction organization is to account for all costs associated with production, to analyze the stages of the organization and all departments. Then - draw up a balance sheet for each of the calendar periods, organize a self-supporting system within production.
Other important goals are to control the correctness of the costs of materials and all related costs, settlement with third parties for the performance of specific work, accrual and payment of wages to employees.
The function of the estimated contractualdepartment in the structure of the construction organization - to consider the design and estimate documentation received from the customer, carefully study, formulate, if necessary, comments and necessary claims, issue duly executed documents to the contractor, take part in the organization of the development of WEP. In addition, this department deals with the conclusion of contracts and the calculation of prices.
What Procurement and HR do
The functions of the deputy head of the SMU, in charge of supply, are to provide construction production with all types of material resources. They carry out marketing work and conclude contracts for the supply of everything necessary through the supply department. The role of the latter is to determine and calculate the required quantity of building materials, products, structures, equipment, workwear, tools, etc., together with the VET.
The received data is transmitted to the supply department. The deputy head of the SMU can also conclude an agreement on the supply of a particular resource on his own. Another name for the supply department is MTO (material and technical department), which is associated with the task of organizing it and providing living conditions for all employees of the organization.
In large UNRs there is a personnel department, in smaller units there is a position of a personnel engineer. The task of this specialist or the mentioned service is to recruit the workforce through advertisements or through the labor exchange, manage the execution of all documentation related to the admission of employees, their dismissal,training, advanced training, etc.
Management of the construction company: who is responsible for what
As a rule, directly subordinate to the manager - the management of the estimate and contract and planning departments, as well as personnel and accounting services. Other units - usually run by deputies. One of them (most often this role goes to the chief engineer) acts as the first deputy manager of the trust.
Others - deputies for production and economics (or chief economist). Their areas of responsibility are the coordination of subcontractors and the dispatching department and, accordingly, everything related to the issues of the planning and economic activities of the trust. Often, the deputy for economics is entrusted with monitoring the activities of the estimate and contractual and OTIZ.
Among other things, his duties involve close interaction with the chief accountant service. The same, according to the law, has the right of direct subordination only to the manager.
Deputy for supply manages, in addition, the activities of the legal adviser and the secretary. The Administrative and Economic Department (AHO) and the typing bureau, as a rule, are directly subordinate to the Deputy for Life and Personnel.
