Technical supervision is a vital component of construction projects, ensuring that construction work is carried out in accordance with plans, specifications and relevant standards. By providing technical supervision, monitoring of contractors’ work and control of the formation of as-built and executive documentation, our Technical Supervision Engineers play a critical role in the implementation of high-quality, safe and compliant construction projects. Also, our Technical Supervision Engineers act as key players in interaction with state technical supervisory authorities.
- Definition and Importance: Technical supervision in construction involves the supervision and monitoring of construction work to ensure that it is carried out in accordance with the design drawings, specifications and relevant standards. Technical supervision is a vital aspect of construction projects as we help identify and correct problems early, prevent defects and ensure the overall quality and safety of the final built product.
- Responsibilities of technical supervision: Our Technical Supervision Engineers are responsible for checking shop drawings and construction specifications, monitoring the construction process, accepting and controlling the quality of materials and workmanship, and ensuring compliance with site safety regulations. They work closely with construction teams, architects, engineers, and other project stakeholders to coordinate activities, identify and resolve problems, and document construction progress.
- Qualifications and skills: Our Technical Supervision Engineers have experience in civil engineering, design management, construction management or related fields, as well as relevant education, training and industry experience. Their key skills include technical knowledge, problem solving, communication, attention to detail, and the ability to interpret and apply building standards and codes.
- Advantages of technical supervision: With effective technical supervision on staff, we help construction projects stay on schedule, on budget, and on quality and safety standards. This allows us to identify and correct problems at an early stage, preventing costly rework or delays, and ensuring that the final product meets Client requirements. Our Technical Supervision also checks the as-built and other documentation and evidence confirming the completed stages of the construction process, which are both necessary in the event of disputes or legal problems, and are required permits & approvals for commissioning of the facility.
- Issues and considerations: Integrating technical supervision into construction projects can sometimes be viewed by Clients as an additional cost or burden, leading to resistance from some stakeholders. Effective communication and cooperation between the technical supervision and construction teams is critical to overcome any problems and ensure the successful implementation of technical supervision and project completion.
Therefore, the presence of our technical supervision in construction projects provides significant benefits in terms of quality assurance, communication, project management, liability protection, as well as safety and sustainability, which ultimately contributes to the success and efficiency of the construction process.
