Without an SOP, workers will work on the standards which they seem right. If there are four workers there will be four standards to work upon and later it will be total chaos when the contractor evaluated the performance. The SOP will bring commonality, it will train the workers, and it will set a norm of how to work within the company.<\/p>\n

Standard operating procedures in the construction<\/h2>\n

An SOP is a step by step process which means every step has been broken down for workers to understand it better. Like I said above it needs to be simple but detailed. Once you are done with every section make copies of the document and distribute it to your workers.<\/p>\n

Making an SOP and distributing it to your workers will not work on its own. A contractor needs to evaluate the work performance of workers while using the SOP. there could be some parts which workers did not understand or where you left out some steps. To check if the SOP is working properly, have a meeting after having used it to conduct the work. Ask workers for their feedback. Ask them what problem they faced while using the SOP and at which steps, they found themselves stuck. You can ask your employees what improvements they would like to have. If a SOP has little problems it can be improved. But if it has big problems which are messing with other steps too then you properly need to develop an entire new SOP.<\/p>\n

The process of writing an SOP should not be hurried, the more time you take to write it the better it will be. The SOP should be well researched based on the performance of the workers and what works best for them. For better documentation of the SOP, you can ask your workers to writes down about all the problems they have faced previously and in which situation. This way you will know what problems you need to solve<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>
