Why is supervision always short of people?

The reasons for the lack of supervisors are: high training and professional requirements, high work pressure, relatively low salary and fierce competition in the industry.

1, high training and professional requirements: supervision is a profession that requires professional skills and knowledge. Supervisors need to have a deep understanding of engineering background, laws, regulations and construction standards, as well as strong communication and coordination skills. Because of this professional and complicated requirement, it is difficult to train and recruit qualified supervisors.

2. Work pressure: Supervisors need to comprehensively supervise the construction site to ensure the compliance of project quality and construction period. This makes supervisors need to bear greater work pressure and often need to conduct on-site inspections to solve problems. This high-pressure working environment will lead some people to choose to leave or quit their jobs during the work process.

3. The remuneration is relatively low: because the supervisor is responsible for more work and requires a higher degree of specialization, some construction projects or companies often focus on the design and construction of human resources, and the remuneration of the supervisor is relatively low. This makes some people may choose to engage in other industries or occupations instead of supervision.

4. Fierce competition in the industry: The competition in the supervision industry is fierce, especially in some rapidly developing fields. In order to win the project contract, the supervision company often reduces the quotation and cost, which leads to a certain degree of compression of the salary level of the supervision personnel. This also increases the difficulty of recruiting and retaining suitable supervisors.

Characteristics of supervision:

1. Independence and neutrality: Supervision is the role of an independent third party to comprehensively supervise and evaluate the project. Supervisors do not belong to the owner or contractor, so they can maintain a neutral position and ensure impartiality and objectivity.

2. Construction site supervision: Supervisors are responsible for real-time supervision on the construction site to ensure that the project is carried out in accordance with the design drawings and relevant standards. They check the construction progress, quality control, safety measures and the use of materials, find and solve problems in time, and ensure the quality and safety of the project.

3. Quality control and quality assurance: Supervisors strictly monitor the construction process and materials to ensure that the project meets the requirements of laws and standards. They are responsible for checking the construction quality, accepting and confirming the progress of the project to ensure that the project reaches the expected quality level.

4. Contract management and risk control: The supervisor is responsible for supervising the performance of the contract and ensuring that the scope, quality, time and cost stipulated in the project contract are observed. They identify and evaluate risks and provide suggestions and solutions to mitigate the impact of risks.

5. Technical professionalism: Supervisors usually have rich engineering background and professional skills, and have a deep understanding of all aspects of construction projects. They can provide professional advice and technical support to help solve technical problems and challenges in construction.

6. Document records and reports: The supervisor records and maintains documents and reports related to the project, including construction records, acceptance reports, problems and change applications. These documents and reports are very important for follow-up audit and dispute resolution.
