The next step is to decide what makes for excellent performance in each category and assign a responsible team leader. For exam�ple, the team may determine that, in order to achieve the project budget, they must get together and review the bid estimate at job start-up and then decide on an actual job budget the team will work together to achieve. The project manager will be accountable to cre�ate, maintain and track a "budget versus actual job cost'' report, to be completed by month end and then reviewed with the team.
As another example, to maintain a safe jobsite with zero ac�cidents, the foreman will be accountable to do a daily job walk�through to inspect for safety concerns and violations, and turn in a weekly report ofthe findings. Finally, as a third example, the field superintendent will be assigned the responsibility to main�tain and track the overall project schedule, meet the completion date, and turn in a four-week look-ahead schedule every Friday as part ofhis job description.
