    Roles of contractor, owner and

    consultant in a project
    CONTRACTOR

     A contractor is anyone who directly employs or engages


    construction workers or manages construction work.
    Contractors include sub-contractors, any individual self-
    employed worker or business that carries out, manages or
    controls construction work. They must have the skills,
    knowledge, experience and, where relevant, the organisational
    capability to carry out the work safely and without risk to
    health.
     Contractors and the workers under their control are most at
    risk of injury and ill health from construction work. Contractors
    therefore have an important role in planning, managing and
    monitoring their work to ensure any risks are controlled.
    ROLES OF CONTRACTOR

     make sure the client is aware of the client duties under CDM 2015 before
    any work starts
     plan, manage and monitor all work carried out by themselves and their
    workers, taking into account the risks to anyone who might be affected by it
    (including members of the public) and the measures needed to protect
    them
     check that all workers they employ or appoint have the skills, knowledge,
    training and experience to carry out the work, or are in the process of
    obtaining them
     make sure that all workers under their control have a suitable, site-specific
    induction, unless this has already been provided by the principal contractor
     provide appropriate supervision, information and instructions to workers
    under their control
     ensure they do not start work on site unless reasonable steps have been
    taken to prevent unauthorised access
     ensure suitable welfare facilities are provided from the start for workers
    under their control, and maintain them throughout the work
    OWNER

     The person “in charge” of the overall project is usually termed


    the “Owner” and is often the only nonprofessional in the
    entire project. It is critical for each Owner, until he or she has
    built numerous projects, to understand that they are operating
    under a significant handicap. Not only must they contend with
    professionals who do these types of projects (and create form
    contracts) for a living, but the various builders and suppliers
    have finite tasks while the Owner must assume financial
    responsibility for the success of the entire project.
    ROLES OF OWNER

     Financing the work


     Providing site Surveys
     Securing and paying easements
     Warranting the plans and specifications
     Warranting owner furnished materials
     Disclosing superior knowledge
     Action on clarification and changes
     Interpretation of the documents
     Cooperating with the contractor
     Selecting all professionals on the project
     Interacting with governmental bodies
     Interacting with real estate professionals to sell the finished project
     Interacting with title companies to facilitate the sales.
    CONSULTANT

     A consulting engineer or construction consultant can be


    termed as the one who is completely independent and
    professional engineer and performs well detailed engineering
    services to his client on an agreed sum of money. The
    prerequisites of a consulting engineer are that he has to be
    registered in the state or the country resides to perform as a
    Professional Engineer.
    ROLES OF CONSULTANT

     Timely and periodic visit to the site


     Consultation and guidance to client/owner
     Interpretation plan drawings and specification
     Checking the authenticity of drawing and data provided
     Processing and estimating contractor progress and further
    payments

     Guiding in amendments to contractors contract


     Final inspection and validation of project
     Preparation of “as-built’ drawings
