Organizational Structure of a Construction Company

A construction company’s organizational structure refers to both the arrangement of job roles and the reporting and operational relationships between and within these roles. Different types of roles and responsibilities depending upon type of department, function or area of work are necessary so as to make a most appropriate organizational design. The various work areas can be marketing, purchasing, planning, human resources, surveying, finance, pre-construction tasks and construction operations. Construction work requires a proper order of roles and responsibilities so that managers can reduce risk involved in project, proper management and safety at workplace can be maintained. Proper order is required to clear roles for each individual, which makes it possible for construction jobs to be completed on schedule without compromising the budget or safety of on-site workers. This paper aims at describing organizational structure and the respective job roles so as to execute the required project in scheduled budget and time.
