From understanding the clients’ requirements, the regulations and the standards, tackling with a series of paperwork, site supervision and coordination as well as delivering the project; I did everything that falls in between these lines and it can be summarized as two major fields: project design and project management.

Site Supervision and Coordination
I performed a daily walk on site to monitor the site progress and supervise the workmanship and the safety performance.
In addition, a series of coordination was executed during the site walk, it ensured that the installations were conducted up to the site situation and the latest drawings so as to reduce the non conformance items.
Site Inspection
I arranged and participated in the site inspections for the concealed conduit installation and site opening installation for building services systems with the sub-contractors, consultants and the clients. Then I arranged to rectify the non conformance items, whatever the drawing issues or the site work, to fulfill the demands from the consultants and the clients so as to deliver further the project and made everyone satisfied with our delivery.
Document Control
As you may know, we have a lot of paperwork during the site construction. It involves many fields such as engineering and construction, safety, environment, quality survey, quality assurance, etc. I handled all of these and you may find the several in the image carousel shown at right.
Material Management
I was responsible for ordering the materials , renting the site equipment and arranging the calibration service. I also coordinated the logistic route and the location of the warehouse with the sub-contractors in order to make a reliable and convenient pathway for the material delivery and store.
