Site supervision.
How to protect your construction investment and ensure a high-quality result?
The risks related to construction can be reduced not only by choosing a reliable builder, but also by involving professional site supervision.
Site supervision is the client’s trustworthy pair of eyes on the construction site.
Why is site supervision the key to the success of your construction project?
Site supervision is not just paperwork – it is a professional service that protects your investment from start to finish.
The Building Code requires site supervision in the following cases:
1. Construction requiring a building permit, according to Annex 1 of the Building Code.
2. When applying for a use permit or submitting a notice of use, if the submission of a construction project is mandatory (according to Annex 2 of the Building Code).
3. Significant reconstruction of a building.
Even when it is not legally required, involving site supervision is highly recommended – it saves time, money and stress.
Site supervision identifies errors before they become expensive problems.
What does the site supervision service include?
The site supervision provider acts as your representative on the construction site and ensures that everything proceeds according to agreements and standards.
Our service includes:
Communication and coordination
We maintain communication with the municipality, the Rescue Board, and neighbours when necessary, ensuring smooth information flow between all parties.
Compliance with the construction project
We verify that construction work fully follows the project. A construction project is not just drawings – it is the “recipe” for your building and must be followed carefully.
Assessment of material suitability
We check that construction materials comply with the project and, if necessary, suggest equivalent or better alternatives.
Competence verification
We check the builder’s qualifications and their registration in the Construction Register (MTR) for each type of work. This ensures that only qualified professionals work on your site.
Regular quality control
We visit the site weekly and perform thorough quality inspections of general construction works. Each visit is documented with a report and photo material.
Monitoring the budget and schedule
We ensure that the project stays within budget and on schedule, helping to avoid unexpected costs.
Documentation control
We check the correctness of covered-work reports and construction logs – these are crucial for obtaining a use permit and for any future warranty work.
Additional studies
If necessary, we assign construction-phase tests and measurements to ensure a safe and high-quality result.
Meetings and reporting
We participate in construction meetings, compile reports and immediately record any deficiencies.
Warranty period supervision
We monitor warranty work and ensure that it is performed properly.
Who is site supervision suitable for?
Our service is intended for a variety of clients who value quality outcomes.
When building your dream home, it deserves the best. On-site expertise ensures your family’s safety and comfort.
Apartment buildings require particularly thorough site supervision because mistakes may affect many residents at once.
For development projects, it is essential that everything meets standards and that new owners receive a high-quality end product.
During renovation and reconstruction, site supervision protects the collective interests and investments of apartment owners.
Price of site supervision – an investment that pays off.
The cost of site supervision starts from 600 euros per month. The final price depends on the complexity, size and workload of the project. It may seem like an additional cost, but in reality, professional construction control saves far more:
Avoiding costly reconstruction caused by mistakes
Keeping the project within budget
Ensuring timely completion
Minimising warranty-period repair work
Smooth and problem-free process of obtaining a occupacy permit
Frequently asked questions about site supervision.
Can the owner perform site supervision themselves?
For construction requiring a building permit, the law requires involving an expert supervisor. Even if you have construction knowledge or experience, it does not replace the professional supervisor’s understanding of regulations, legal requirements, and best practices. External supervision also ensures objectivity and allows you to focus on other important decisions.
How is feedback provided to the client and the builder?
All our site visits are recorded in detailed email reports with photo documentation. This ensures transparency and keeps all parties updated on the site’s condition. The photos are also useful later for warranty work or potential dispute resolution.
What is a construction defect?
A construction defect is any activity on the construction site that does not match the agreed terms or the construction project. It may be a small deviation or a significant deficiency that affects safety or functionality. Independent supervision helps identify defects early.
What happens when we discover a construction defect?
Our approach is always constructive and solution-oriented. We analyse the nature and impact of the defect, consult with the builder regarding possible solutions, discuss the situation with the owner, and find a reasonable resolution for all parties. The goal is not to assign blame but to fix the problem quickly and properly.
How long is site supervision needed on a construction project?
Site supervision continues at least until the building receives a notice of use or a occupacy permit . The start of the service is agreed individually, but it should begin no later than the submission of the notice of commencement in the Building Register. Ideally, involve professional oversight already during the design phase. We also continue supervision during the warranty period to ensure that any defects are corrected.
When should you contact site supervision?
The earlier, the better. Ideally when you begin planning the project or enter the design phase.
Invest with peace of mind – let professionals take care of it.
