Ecobank Banking Hall

Lekki, Lagos·2021-2022·Site Manager

Delivery of a commercial banking facility through structural works, façade and cladding installation, building-services coordination, internal fit-out and close-out—requiring disciplined sequencing across overlapping trades.

Project Overview

Delivering a commercial facility through overlapping work packages.

The Ecobank Banking Hall project moved from major building works into façade installation, services coordination, interior finishing and external close-out. The central delivery challenge was keeping these connected work packages moving in the right order, particularly where one trade's output became the next trade's starting point.

My Role

Site Manager

I managed daily site priorities, coordinated artisans and specialist trades, monitored materials and progress, resolved execution issues and kept the work aligned with drawings and project requirements. As the project entered finishing, I also coordinated close-out activities and protected completed work from damage by following trades.

Scope of Work

Key workstreams.

Structural and building works
Façade and cladding works
Building-services coordination
Interior finishing
External works and close-out
Technical Delivery

Coordinating structure, services and finishes.

I interpreted drawings and specifications at the point of execution and checked how structural, architectural and service elements met. Particular attention was required around façade lines, service routes and finishing interfaces, where small coordination errors could create visible defects or rework.

Site Coordination

Sequencing trades through a demanding programme.

I organised work fronts so that structural completion, service installations, cladding and internal finishes could progress without blocking one another. Daily coordination focused on access, material readiness, dependencies and resolving issues before they affected the wider programme.

Quality & Execution

Protecting finished work during close-out.

Workmanship, dimensions, alignments and trade interfaces were checked progressively. During close-out, completed surfaces and installations were protected while remaining corrective items were identified and resolved for a successful delivery.

What This Project Demonstrates

Commercial delivery requires more than supervising isolated activities. It requires understanding how structure, services, finishes and people interact across the entire site.
