Listen "Roles & Responsibilities"
Episode Synopsis
***We will be taking a short mid-season festive break in schedule; the next episode will release on Wednesday 7th January 2026***In this episode, Michelle gets to the heart of what keeps projects running smoothly; roles and responsibilities. She breaks down exactly who is who in the construction world, from Quantity Surveyors and Estimators to Project Managers, Architects, and Financial Controllers, and explains what each of them is truly responsible for.Drawing on three decades of pulling struggling projects back from the brink, Michelle reveals why understanding these roles isn’t just “nice to know”; it’s essential. When everyone knows what they’re accountable for, decisions are sharper, communication is clearer, and the entire team can deliver with confidence. When they don’t? Confusion, delays, and costly mistakes creep in fast.This episode is all about helping you build a team where responsibilities are understood, strengths are used properly, and your project is supported by the right expertise at every stage. Whether you're new to construction or a seasoned professional, you'll walk away with a clearer picture of who does what, why it matters, and how the right structure transforms project outcomes.Visit https://h2construction.uk/ to learn more.
