Construction Supervision

Construction Supervision is necessary to ensure the works are constructed in accordance with the design and specification, safeguard the quality of construction, oversee the safety of the works, and when required, to provide a cost-monitoring service to the client.  The role varies depending on the contract e.g. re-measure, Design & Build (D&B) and Design, Build, Finance & Operate (DBFO) and whether our client is the Employer or the Contractor. 

Where our client is the Employer Scott Wilson is engaged to administer all aspects of the contract in force between him and the contractor.  Where our client is the Contractor, Scott Wilson will undertake an auditing role to ensure compliance with the design.  The range of services offered is tailored to match the scope of works and the client’s requirements.  They may include:

• Provision on site of an Independent Engineer or Resident Engineer augmented by other engineering and environmental staff as necessary,
• Auditing the Contractor’s construction for compliance with the design and/or specification,
• Limited modification of the design,
• Quality and Environment Management,
• Compliance with statutory and contractual health and safety requirements,
  Technical inspection of materials and workmanship,
• Monitoring of contractor’s planning, programme and progress,
• Advice to the Employer on matters of contract, payment and liability,
• Reporting and As-Built records.
  Maintenance and Defect Period Monitoring
• Compliance with statutory and contractual heal and safety regulations.
• The supervision role may also include acting as the Designer and/or the Engineer and frequently this requires Scott Wilson to have in place additional office-based resources to support the site team.
