What does a construction foreman do?
A construction foreman leads the site team and organises daily execution. They coordinate work, resources, quality, safety, progress and site reports.
The construction foreman is close to day-to-day production on site. They translate the work programme into concrete tasks, brief employees and ensure that the required materials, equipment and information are available.
Typical responsibilities
- assign and coordinate daily work;
- check workmanship, quantities and progress;
- promote safe working methods and address hazards;
- record labour, materials, interruptions and completed work;
- report deviations, additional work and obstacles promptly.
The foreman usually coordinates operational details with the site manager. The exact division of responsibility varies by organisation and project, so it should be defined clearly.
