Roles & Duties
List each supervisory and field role, decision authority, escalation paths, and contact details so responsibilities are unambiguous and enforceable.
A clear Project Supervision Plan reduces ambiguity, improves safety oversight, and creates an evidentiary record for contract performance and regulatory compliance. It centralizes responsibilities and timelines so teams can coordinate inspections, approvals, and corrective actions efficiently.
Project Supervision Plans are prepared and relied on by multiple parties involved in project delivery.
The plan also supports regulators and insurers as a record of procedures, inspections, and corrective actions during the project lifecycle.
