Owner supervision and management of construction processes
What is the supervision of the owner and why it is important?
The supervision of the owner, i.e. the representative of the owner in the construction process, covers all activities aimed at ensuring that the construction works are carried out in accordance with the project, the applicable standards, the budget and the timetable. This service is indispensable both for traditional works and for protected sites, where there is an additional demand for the preservation of cultural objects and specialised technologies.
Key components of the Owner's Supervision Service
1. Coordination of construction works
Coordination of construction works means coordination of activities of different parties - contracting authorities, main contractors, subcontractors, engineers and designers. Good coordination reduces deadlock, optimises the use of labour and materials and keeps the timetable under control.
2. Quality control and technical supervision
Quality control shall include regular inspections of works, assessment of the conformity of materials and techniques with the project documentation and preparation of the necessary tests and protocols. Ownership supervision shall ensure that work is carried out in accordance with construction standards and agreed quality standards.
3. Timetable and budget monitoring
Focus on progress and costs in order to avoid overshooting and ensure cash flow planning according to project phases. Owner supervision specialists prepare regular reports, risk assessments and amendments to help the contracting authority make decisions in a timely manner.
4. Documentation and legal compliance
The supervision service includes documentation of the entire construction process: work logs, inspection protocols, certificates of conformity and final documentation. In addition, it will be verified that the works comply with the applicable laws and regulations, including the requirements for the protection of the heritage where the object is protected.
The specificities of the protection of the heritage
The owner's supervision of the objects protected by the heritage must take into account additional conditions: the preservation of historical materials and technologies, the application of conservation and restoration methods and close cooperation with the heritage protection authority. This requires professional knowledge and experience in order to ensure the preservation of the cultural property of the site and at the same time to meet modern requirements of use and safety.

For whom the owner's supervision service is suitable?
The owner's supervision service is aimed at real estate owners, investment funds, companies and public sector entities wishing to ensure the successful implementation of the project. The service is particularly important for projects where the contracting authority does not have specific competence for construction or does not wish to manage the daily construction process activities itself.
What results will professional owner supervision produce?
- Implemented quality and compliance with the project
- Lower risk for overruns of the budget and timetable
- Clear and continuous information to the contracting authority about the progress of the project
- I>Legal requirements and standards, including the requirements for the protection of multiculturalism
How does cooperation between the owner and the supervision specialist begin with the definition of pre-existing and objectives, then a contract is concluded specifying the scope, responsibility, reporting and payment schedule. Regular meetings, inspections and reporting will be organised during the work so that the contracting authority can always get an overview of the current state of the project and the necessary decisions.
Summary
Owner supervision and construction management ensure that construction projects are carried out efficiently, qualitatively and in accordance with the rules. This is particularly important in sites protected by heritage, where further attention is required to preserve historical values. By entrusting responsibility to project management and supervision specialists, you reduce risks and ensure the timely and budgetary completion of the project.
