Construction Meetings & Meeting Minutes for Project Managers

Meetings are an important part of successfully managing construction projects. Regular site meetings on a project with well documented minutes lead to better communication and better results, making a successful project more likely.

Holding effective construction meetings is harder than it sounds. Proper meeting minutes require effective listening, accurate recording and most importantly, understanding the risks involved if an action item is not completed as promised. Minutes should reflect the views of all stakeholders and be a complete, reliable, and accurate documentation of the status of the project as well as the next steps, as agreed to by all parties.

This course will teach you how to create and implement meeting protocols, record more effective minutes, and more. Walk away with a resource manual packed with practical checklists, templates and how-tos that will help you set up the processes and procedures you need in the office or jobsite.

Topics:

• Conducting effective and efficient construction meetings
• Understanding the types of construction meetings and when to have them
• Recording accurate and factual construction meeting minutes
• Understanding what standard topics and other topics to discuss and document
• Understanding the importance of construction meeting minutes to manage deliverables and risk
• Engaging project stakeholders to deliver as promised
• Managing actionable items
• Understanding how construction meeting minutes become permanent records
• Distributing the minutes and follow-up

INCLUDES TEMPLATES & CHECKLISTS! Exclusive to this workshop is a comprehensive manual that is used as a reference and guide throughout the session. The manual is based on accumulated knowledge gathered over 40 years in the construction industry. It’s a valuable and effective tool that contains not only practical how-to’s, checklists and templates but will also be a foundation for new processes and procedures back in the office or on the jobsite.
