Instructions

Step #1- Create your organizational chart:

• Finish the research you began in Module 01 via the .
  • Identify actual positions within building construction companies associated with each of the six building construction company management functions:
    1. Executive
    2. Administrative
    3. Accounting
    4. Marketing
    5. Estimating & Sales
    6. Construction
    7. Read each job description and note key responsibilities.

Do additional online research seeking out actual construction company organizational charts.

• • Compare and contrast the functional areas, levels, and positions.
  • Consider the purpose of an organizational chart while researching.
• Using the software of your choice, build your own basic organizational chart for a small construction company.
  • Be sure to organize the chart on a functional basis (i.e. based on functional areas/departments).
  • Use job titles common for building construction.
  • Include at least (12) positions.
  • You can model the chart on a former or current employer, or get creative and dream up your own future construction company.
  • Ensure that your chart is clean, evenly spaced, and easy for anyone to pick-up and understand.

Step #2- Write your position justification statements:

• In practice no positions should be filled without a well developed justification statement.
• Looking at your completed organizational chart, choose four positions to justify.
• Using word processing software of your choice start and save a new file titled “M02 Position Justifications.”
• Answer the following questions about each of the four positions you have chosen:
  • What makes the position critical?
  • What impact will be felt if the position is not filled?
  • Will the position generate enough revenue (directly or indirectly) to justify the expense?
    • Reference the for additional ideas.
• If you are thoroughly justifying each position you should have a full paragraph (at least 5 sentences) per position, for a grand total of 4 paragraphs.
