One task, three people, start to finish

The same card seen from the manager's, the engineer's and the QS's chair.

In this lesson

The manager creates the work

Youssef, the project manager, opens the Twin Villas board. This is where the job’s work is planned before any of it reaches site.

He creates one task: photograph the completed first-fix MEP before the plastering covers it over. A short title is enough — the card carries the rest.

He assigns it to Tarek, the site engineer at the villas. From this moment the task is Tarek’s, and the assignment is on the record.

The engineer picks it up

Tarek logs in on site, phone in hand, and the task is already on his list. He did not have to be told in a separate message.

He opens the task he was given. Everything about it — who asked, what is needed, when — is in the one place.

He attaches the site photo straight from the field. The evidence of the first-fix lives with the work, not in a folder someone has to hunt for later.

He moves the card into progress, and the whole studio sees it update the moment he does. No email, no phone call, no waiting for the next site visit.

The QS values it

Mostafa, the QS, opens the same job to value it — and the card Tarek just moved is already here, in his list, with the photo attached.

Work that has started is work that will need valuing and billing. Mostafa does not wait for a phone call to learn it has begun; the board told him.

So one move on site — Tarek dragging that card — is read from three chairs the same evening, without anyone passing it along.

The habit

The habit this capstone leaves you with: move the card the day the work moves. One update, read from every chair, stops the office and the site telling different stories.
