Technical supervision

The construction project requires constant monitoring on the site. Even in the presence of approved project documentation and an experienced contractor, deviations in quality, volumes, terms and materials used may occur in the process of work. Technical supervision helps the customer to timely identify such risks and understand the actual state of the project.

ERA CAPITAL carries out technical supervision over the construction of commercial facilities. Engineers monitor the execution of work, check documentation, record comments and track their elimination. The customer receives independent information about the progress of construction and can make decisions based on facts.

What tasks does technical supervision solve

The main task of the service is to ensure compliance of actually performed works with design decisions, regulatory requirements and terms of contracts with contractors.

A technical specialist checks the object directly on the construction site, compares the work performed with documentation and evaluates the quality of the solutions used.

Work may include:

• quality control of construction and installation works;
• verification of actually completed volumes;
• Incoming control of construction materials and equipment;
• monitoring compliance with the calendar schedule;
• identification of defects and technological violations;
• control of elimination of comments;
• verification of executive documentation;
• control of compliance of work with project and working documentation.

This approach allows the customer to see not only the percentage of readiness of the object, but also the quality of the result that will be put into operation.

Control of the volume and cost of work

One of the important functions of technical supervision is to check the volumes before confirming the work performed. The engineer compares the actual result with acts, design decisions and contract terms.

If the declared volume does not correspond to the actual, the customer receives a basis for additional verification before payment. Technical supervision thus links the construction site, documentation and financial control of the project.

Special attention is required for additional work and changes in design decisions. They can affect the CAPEX, the timing of the implementation and the further operation of the building, so must be technically justified and documented.

Quality control of construction

The quality of the finished object is formed at each stage. Errors when designing structures, installing engineering systems or performing hidden works can be detected after finishing, when the correction becomes much more difficult.

ERA CAPITAL engineers assess technology compliance, inspect materials and monitor critical construction stages. The detected deviations are recorded, after which the implementation of corrective measures is monitored.

For the customer, this reduces the risk of obtaining a facility with defects, which can subsequently lead to additional repair and operation costs.

Control of deadlines and construction schedule

Technical supervision helps to compare real progress with the approved timetable.

Experts assess the readiness of individual stages, identify backlogs and analyze the causes of delays. If one site of work affects subsequent processes, the information becomes available to the customer before the deviation turns into a critical shift in the date of entry of the object.

Scheduling control is especially important for commercial real estate, where the postponement of construction completion can delay the start of operation, the entry of tenants or the start of operations.

Executive documentation

Construction must be documented. Acts of hidden works, executive schemes, certificates and other technical documentation form the history of the object.

ERA CAPITAL checks the completeness and correctness of executive documents within the agreed scope of work. This helps reduce the risk of a situation where a physically completed step cannot be confirmed with the necessary documentation.

What projects require technical supervision

The service is relevant for new construction, reconstruction, overhaul and implementation of complex engineering projects.

The approach applies to office buildings, retail and warehouse real estate, production facilities and other types of commercial real estate. The composition of the team and the frequency of presence of specialists are determined by the scale, stage and technical complexity of the project.

What the customer gets

The result of technical supervision is a transparent construction control system. The customer understands what is actually performed on the site, what comments are open, whether the result of the project documentation corresponds and what risks require a management decision.

Regular reporting allows you to monitor the dynamics of the project and record the identified deviations.

ERA CAPITAL considers technical supervision as part of the construction project management system: the engineer controls the quality, the documentation confirms the result, and the customer retains control over the timing, cost and characteristics of the future asset.
