Construction supervision: what it is and why it matters.

Technical Supervision

Almost everyone who decides to start a renovation faces problems that arise during the process and in bringing it to a successful completion. The proof of this is the huge number of disputes that occur between clients and builders. And even after signing a contract that spells out all sorts of points, the property owner is already bracing for unpleasant situations involving additional expenses and an extension of the renovation period. All of this can be easily avoided by contacting a department of independent technical supervision specialists.
The main goal of technical supervision consultants is to control the process of carrying out repair and construction work. The basic minimum set of services provided by a specialist who inspects completed construction work includes: ensuring that the completed work matches the design project, overseeing compliance with the construction technology, and quality control. And the primary task of these specialists is not to detect errors and defects among the completed work, but to prevent them and identify any inconsistencies.
An indispensable component of a specialist’s work is maintaining a “Technical Supervision Log,” which is an important document during apartment renovations. A technical supervision representative regularly enters information, comments, and requirements into it. This log is one of the documents used by the contractor to report to the client. Thanks to the log, the entire process of performing the work can be tracked and any mistakes made during the work can be identified.
A very important function of the specialist is monitoring the work schedule, i.e., ensuring deadlines are met and that project stages are completed within a specified time. This is the only guarantee that the renovation or construction will be completed within the time frame set out in the contract. Nowadays, more and more money is being invested in renovation, remodeling, and fit-out, and unforeseen problems related to errors in preparing the construction estimate and reconciling it with the design documentation lead to even greater financial losses. And as the experience of many clients shows, the money spent on the work of a technical supervision specialist fully pays for itself and even reduces costs associated with the renovation. After all, the technical supervision specialist is responsible for every defect they miss, which is why this service has virtually no oversights.
