Abstract

The main objective of this thesis is to describe the work performed by the intern as a resident engineering assistant at the construction company BBM CONSTRUCTORES S.A.S. over a period of four months. These tasks were carried out in the municipality of Plato Magdalena, on the rigid pavement construction project and expansion of the sanitary and storm sewer system on Carrera 14. The objectives were to effectively coordinate and supervise the human resources, materials, and machinery available on-site. He also prepared and collaborated in the preparation of monthly construction reports and maintained strict occupational safety standards. Between November 1, 2023, and March 14, 2024, the intern supervised the construction fronts daily, recorded progress in logbooks, controlled quantities and materials using Excel, and adjusted the master schedule in Microsoft Project. His key duties included planning weekly activities, verifying technical specifications, maintaining biweekly reports, and ensuring site safety. Thanks to this monitoring, the project went from a physical progress of 49.33% (compared to the planned 80.87%) to 89% execution, reducing the gap from 31.54% to 11%. The report concludes that the combination of rigorous control, use of management tools, and ongoing communication with residents, supervisors, and operators allowed for sustained improvements in operational efficiency and strengthened the student's professional skills in planning, quality, and construction management.
