Site supervision across Gallipoli and Salento

What does the construction manager really do?

Represent you on the construction site, not the company. He checks that what is built corresponds to the approved project and the building permit, checks materials and workmanship, keeps accounts of the work and manages relationships with those who carry it out. It is the figure who notices an error while it can still be corrected, not when the plaster is finished.

Your technical eye on the construction site

I check the progress, correspondence to the project and the quality of the work. Every choice that requires a decision comes from a discussion with you, with the information necessary to make an informed decision.

Accounting: paying for what has been done

Payments to a business are tied to progress, not calendar. I check the quantities actually carried out before each payment and compare them with the bill of quantities: it is the simplest way to avoid finding yourself halfway through site with 80% of the money spent and 50% of the work done.

The variations, before they become a problem

In a renovation something always changes: a system that pops up where it shouldn't have, a choice that the client revises, a structural unexpected event. Each variant must be evaluated on three fronts together, cost, time and consequences on the building permit, because some changes require practice and cannot just be done.

Times and costs kept under control

I manage the timetable and progress reports, so payments follow the work actually carried out and no unforeseen events accumulate. If something deviates, I intervene immediately.

Less risks, fewer disputes

A serious construction supervision prevents most problems between the client and the company: clear specifications, documented checks, tracked communication. It is a protection, not an additional cost.

Construction supervision and security are two different tasks

The construction supervision concerns the correct execution of the work; the security of the site is the responsibility of the coordinator, a mandatory figure when more than one company operates in site. They are distinct roles and must be entrusted as such: clarifying this beforehand avoids discovering once work has begun that a nomination is missing.

The closing: what is needed after the last bricklayer

A site does not end when the company dismantles the scaffolding. The communication of the end of the works, the declarations of conformity of the systems, the possible land registry update and, where required, the certificate of fitness for use are needed. These are the documents that will be asked of you years later, when you sell or rent.
