• suitable trade sub-contractors
• suitable material suppliers

Task 2.3

In this task, you are required to establish an electronic file structure that will be used for the collection and management of construction site documentation for RBHoldings and subcontractors.

Take a screenshot of the file structure created and send it to your assessor/teacher. Along with the screenshot, include a list of all documents that you would save in each folder.

Scenario: Before Mr and Mrs Browns project starts, it is important to establish an electronic file system to collect and manage construction site documentation. Your manager Joe Lugarno has asked that you create a file structure that is consistent and standardised.

Scenario : The project has been progressing well and the brickwork has just begun. The roofing has not started, and unfortunately it has been raining for several days in Lake Macquarie and the Brown’s construction site has been shut down for a week. Your manager, Joe Lugarno has asked you to review the scheduled timeline and record the unscheduled delay. Joe Lugarno has asked that you identify and resolve issues that have occurred as a result of this delay.
