Site Supervision & Contract Administration
Under traditional contracting, the employer appoints an experienced Consultant whose job it is to issue instructions to the contractor and look after the interests of the Client.
This includes monitoring construction costs, ensuring that works are carried out to the agreed programme, certifying payments under the contract, certifying practical completion and issuing the final certificate.
Site supervision involves regular site visits by an experienced Engineer to ensure that the works are being carried out to an acceptable standard, with the Engineer keeping detailed records of progress and assisting with overcoming any problems that arise during the contract period.
