 Typically 10%-35% Work Method Statement are
rejected by client.
Why?
1. Repurposing an old WMS documents. (contain details from previous jobs/this is a clear sign its’s an old
documents has been repurposed/Its show project specific risks or methods have most likely not considered,
putting the sequence are not right etc.)
To fix it,
• to have a system in place to create accurate, project specifics WMS across project.
• Don’t use a previous jobs WMS as starting points (only use for reference)
• Create new documents every time.

2. Not considering your method statement with care. Why its bad? WMS helps communicate an effective safe and
correct system of works to all staff, but its not carefully considering and communicating your correct and suitable
methodology. Staff also sometimes are not experienced than the person responsible for creating the methods
statement so its important that all the issues and steps by steps processes are clearly communicated before
works starts.
To fix it
• Create clear step by step instructions on how to undertake the works base on supplier recommendations.
• A proper training between product supplier/specialist with operations staff/sub-contractor before proceeding the
works.
• To makes the on-job training as a compulsory process prior starting the works or before submitting the method
statements for better understandings.
Why?
3. Not having a system in place for quickly making updates. Currently GE have a system but not everyone know
how to access it or know how to use it properly.
To fix it,
• to have a system in place where all staff and those who involved in the works can easily makes updates .
Implementation of Sharepoints system specifically for QSHE to loads all the WMS/ITP for each project which is
user friendly and easy to access.

4. Changes of material due to Value Engineering. Especially for Architectural trades and M&E WMS.
To fix it,
• Any changes of material should be briefly informed and discussed amongst the sub-contractor, main
contractor, consultant and client to avoid miscommunications.
• If got any chances or times which is not an issues, options to submit advance copy for discussion before actual
submission can reduce the percentage of rejection or comments.

 Typically 5%-35% Material submission are rejected by
client.
Why?
1. V.E exercise
To fix it,
• Normally V.E exercise due to change of material (cheaper price)- either requested by main contractor or sub-
contractor.
• Cheaper material does not means the material is low quality but normally high end material comes with price.
• Cheaper product anyhow still can be use but either its equivalent with the specified in project specifications will
be in doubt by both consultant and clients.
• In their shoes, their perceptions of this V.E will be differ with us and the easiest way to reduce or avoid high
rejections, we could only submit the material which specified in the project specs.

2. Revise of specifications/BQ
To fix it
• This can be avoided since its involving contracts and revision by either consultant or clients.
• It’s a V.O for the contractor (either VO addition or omission)

 Typically 5%-18% RFI submission are rejected by
Why? client.
1. Physical works not ready?
2. Late closure by C.O.W?
3. Missing RFI?
4. Physical works completed without issuance of RFI on time (a day before).
5. RFI issued after the physical works completed?
To fix it,
• Usually this happens due to negligent, un-planned works, poor planning at sites, irresponsible staff, staff not
really knowing his roles and responsibilities, lack of experience etc.
• 1st of all, all responsible staff needs to set in their mindset on their job scopes.
• A good training on each job scopes i.e Site supervisor, engineer, manager to ensure they didn’t miss out
anything.
• To create awareness amongst them especially on the consequences of their irresponsible act.( individually and
for the company)
• To re-set their attitudes towards works itself. (self-regulates especially on Quality) and quality is not for quality
engineer/manager responsibility. Quality is for everyone responsibilities.
• All works shall be planned in daily basis. Tools box talks (which normally conducted to fulfil SHE requirement)
can be use as a medium to communicate with operation teams on the daily plans.( this is norms for non-local
construction company)
• There are system in place for RFI issuance (either physical or via Fieldview). To ensure all staff fully make use
of it. Training has been conducted but due to lack of reporting, its keeps occur. All this will be reported in
