tep 1 | Engaging the contractors  

Collaborate with contractors to guarantee that the delivery timeline with clear targets, expectations and conditions are met. 

 

  Step 2 | Workforce recruitment 

Based on the terms of the construction and maintenance agreement, work with contractors to segment work streams and identify tasks where participants and community members could be recruited to undertake. 

 

  Step 3 | Peer-to-peer training 

Support knowledge-sharing among participants by organising peer-to-peer training sessions. Skilled workers, local artisans, and contractors should mentor and train community members in relevant construction techniques, ensuring local knowledge transfer and skills building. Sessions should cover safety procedures, sustainable building methods, and maintenance strategies. This approach fosters collaboration, builds confidence, and enhances community involvement in the delivery and construction process.

 

Contractors assigned to implement the solutions, finalise the construction of the space. If applicable, integrating trained community members into the building phase. Ensure that all participants have the necessary tools, protective equipment, and guidance from skilled professionals. 

 

  Step 2 | Document work in progress

During construction, conduct weekly visits to monitor progress of the construction work. This activity could also be done by the participants autonomously:

• Regularly update via your communication channels
• Take pictures, notes and small quotes of workers and visitors while monitoring

 

  Step 3 | Monitor quality

Monitor the construction process. Tick the box when an activity is completed and assess the status of its quality (poor, fair or good) during observation at the site visits. This exercise will help you to address issues when they emerge on the construction site and help fix them straight away.
