The organizational structures that follow display the individual components of the respective operation. In large companies, each function will have individuals or even staffs assigned to it. Smaller organizations will necessarily have fewer individuals involved in administration, but the functions performed should be the same. The functions as listed will accordingly be combined in the responsibilities of those individuals. The formulas determining those combinations will be most often based on the specific person’s capabilities, inclinations, and initiatives. A project manager (PM) in one company, for example, may also do project engineering, or in another company, may do estimating or purchasing. In still another company, the PM may also serve as the site superintendent.
Observe the functional relationships, and visualize the appropriate individual responsibility assignment within your own company.
Specific jobsite structures will be treated in Section 1.5.
