It has been observed that people working in the Construction Industry are lacking in their basic understanding level of different competencies. Especially people working in Contracting Organisations are facing more problem in comparison with people working in Consultancy Organisations. Though they have the working knowledge they will not be able to correlate their work as required with the right terminology. They found wanting when they aspire for professional memberships like RICS PMP etc.
There is hardly any training organized by small and medium-sized companies. Even the large size Organisations arrange very few opportunities and the majority of training is OJT (On job training) basis only. The OJT training is focusing on certain tasks and KPIs for carrier appraisal and less focus on overall development.
Even the available training from professional bodies is by large at the advanced level and quite expensive as well for the individual unless sponsored by the Organisations.
The training organized by professional bodies focuses more on theoretical knowledge and very less focus on practical application.
At project sites, very few people will have the access to key documents like Contracts, BOQ, etc. due to companies' policy decisions and to maintain confidentiality as these are very important documents.
Unless a person reaches a certain position in the Organisational structure he will not be able to access such documents which restricts the person to have a hands-on feeling of those documents.
So people at the junior cadre will have to wait to reach the required Organisational position to access such documents.
People like Supervisors Foreman etc. who have an interest in developing and improving their knowledge on QS and related activities will not get opportunities being nontechnical personal.
Of late a majority of Organisations do not trust people with Diploma qualifications to perform as engineers and thereby those people will not get the opportunity/privilege to access important documents like the supervisors and foremen.
