Owner supervision and construction project management service

We offer a comprehensive service during which we check the correctness of the execution of all works, the environmental and occupational safety of construction objects, and the conformity and quality of the documentation of construction materials and the materials used. We have extensive experience in owner supervision of administrative and office buildings, commercial premises, apartment buildings, industrial buildings, and environmental and infrastructure objects.

Owner supervision is the obligation of the Contracting Authority to inspect the construction arising from the Building Code. When building a building subject to a building permit or constructing a road subject to a building permit, the Contracting Entity is obliged to involve a competent person with qualifications in the building process who inspects the building. The performer of owner supervision must be an impartial person. They must not be the builder of the building under supervision or be related to the persons and companies over whom they supervise. The contractor's responsibility applies to the performance of owner supervision, and it is neither limited nor excluded.

According to the owner supervision procedure, the owner supervision is carried out until the notice of use of the building is submitted or the use permit is obtained. Owner supervision must be performed by a person independent of the builders.

The owner supervision service offered by us is significantly broader than what is stipulated in the Building Code and the procedure for carrying out owner supervision of construction, including consulting the Contracting Entity during the design work as well as before starting the construction work. In addition to owner supervision, we represent the Contracting Entity, and at the request of the Contracting Entity, we also act as project manager/construction manager. We have a lot of experience representing the contracting entity in the FIDIC Engineer contract format.

We pay great attention to the use of BIM models in the supervision process. The use of BIM models is a standard part of our service.

If the Contracting Entity wants to apply for a BREEAM or LEED certificate for their building, we are ready to provide the relevant supervision service.

Our service is complex, i.e., we supervise all parts of the construction site.
Our team consists of experienced engineers with degrees or authorized engineering professions whom Contracting Entities can always trust and who stand for the Contracting Entity's interests in order to achieve the best final result.

As part of the construction project management service, i.e., the construction management service, we coordinate the planning and construction of the entire building as the Contracting Entity's representative, starting with the preparation of the building design documentation project until the end of the warranty period of the construction contract.

As part of the construction management service, we identify the Contracting Entity's goals and needs when planning the building, on the basis of which we prepare the initial tasks for the design work and obtain a drafter of the building design documentation with whom a building design documentation that takes into account the Contracting Entity's needs and budget will be completed. After the completion of the building design documentation and the issuance of the building permit, we conduct a tender to find a construction contractor, and after signing the construction contract, we coordinate the entire construction process and the preparation of related documentation during the construction period until obtaining the building's occupancy notice and the end of the warranty period.

The construction management service ensures that the Contracting Entity achieves the desired result within a minimum amount of time, allowing the Contracting Entity to focus on its core business activities. The exact content of the provided service is agreed upon in cooperation with the Contracting Entity on the specific construction object and the Contracting Entity's wishes and needs. The construction management service is divided into three main stages.

The main activities of the preparatory stage of building planning:

• To find out the wishes and needs of the Contracting Entity and formulate the initial task of works and activities;
• To analyze the nature of the building design documentation due to the nature of the specific site and propose an action plan, schedule, and approximate budget for the implementation of the documentation;
• To determine the stages of various works and divide the work into tenders;
• If necessary, to advise the Contracting Entity on the conclusion of various subscription agreements;
• To organize, if necessary, the management of easement and/or land use rights;

Basic activities of the design stage:

• To prepare the initial task of design work and carry out a tender to find a designer and conclude a design contract;
• Participated in design meetings to monitor compliance with the contract and schedule of design works and consulted the Contracting Entity regarding the selection of various construction solutions and materials during the design process.
• To assist, if necessary, in communicating with network companies and authorities in the coordination of the design solution;
• To check that the agreed upon wishes and demands of the Contracting Entity are reflected in the completed building design documentation, if necessary, to organize an expert examination of parts of the building design documentation or the entire documentation;
• Review the transfer and financial deed of the result of the design contract and, if they are appropriate, give the Contracting Entity a recommendation for signing the deeds;

The main activities of the construction stage:

• Based on the completed building design documentation, draw up the initial task of construction works and carry out a tender to find a construction contractor and conclude a construction contract. At the same time, to compare the pricing of different sections of work in the offers submitted before the conclusion of the construction contract and, if necessary, ask clarifying questions regarding the justification of the costs;
• To participate in construction meetings and monitor the compliance of the construction process with the contract and building design documentation;
• To advise the Contracting Entity in making decisions regarding various works, including civil engineering-related advice in the implementation of the project;
• To check and verify the performance of the tasks of the construction owner supervision executors;
• If necessary, to give assessments of the builder's proposals for changing design solutions, including the effect of the change on the construction price and time consumption;
• If additional works emerge, to give an assessment of the justification, price, and deadline of the works;
• To review the financial deeds submitted by the construction contractor and, if appropriate, to give the Contracting Entity a recommendation for signing the documents or submitting their own assessment of the actual work volumes;
• To check the compliance of invoices submitted by the contractor with the deed and the contract;
• To record deviations from the contract for construction works and demand the elimination of violations, if necessary, apply legal remedies as the Contracting Entity's representative, in order to achieve the elimination of violations and, if necessary, compensation for costs and/or damage caused as a result of the violation;
