If you are a project manager on site or doing upgrade project on a facility what is your percentage spent on floor and the percentage spend inside the office?

I have turn down one offer from a company because they wanted me to spend 80% on floor their facility is very hot and noise level exceed 120 decibel.

I think the split depends on the type of project we manage, and sometimes there are multiple projects. Lucky you didn't take that job Riyadh.

Sante, thanks I guess yeah that would be a disaster but it shouldn't be specified it should be at the discretion of the PM to evaluate how much time he needs to do rounds

Client dependent and on the budget for travel expenses vs the reward of an on-site presence.

We have clients that prefer 100% on-site vs those that are simply as needed.

Probably depends on the kind of project. Clients usually prefer 100% on site, but practically its not feasible.

Rajesh, yes but 100% is too much you still need to do some administrative work and reply emails and generate reports etc

Every project demands some amount of floor time and the need rises from the client most of the time than management, though expectation touches 100%, it is practically not feasible as we maybe linked to multiple projects that need our attention.
