CHAPTER 3 SITE MEETINGS During my training, site meetings were held every two weeks
on a Tuesday. The essence of the site meetings is dissipating instructions to the contractors and
to assess the progress of the project. The site meeting is chaired by the project architect who
gives out all instructions. During the meetings, all the consultants are expected to be present in
order to obtain an update of a weekly report on each of their jurisdictions as regards the building
project from the contractors. Issues from what material should be used to the ordering of
materials and expenses made are discussed in full length and all issues or problems encountered
are presented to the architect for instructions. After a few site meetings, my supervisor handed
over the task of writing the minutes of the meeting to me. This i did until my last site meeting on
the site. During the meeting, everyone is presented with their copy of the minute and is expected
to file them afterwards. The site meeting for the building project is expected to be held till the
project is completed and handed over to the clients.
