Carrying out author's control in construction
Construction supervision (or design supervision) is the process of supervising the execution of a construction project by the project author (usually an architect or engineer) to ensure that the project is completed in accordance with the original design and design documents. This oversight is critical to ensuring project quality, completion on time, and on budget. The main purpose of designer's control is to ensure that the construction process is carried out in accordance with design documentation and technical requirements. It also helps in timely detection and correction of any errors or discrepancies in construction.
Main responsibilities and stages of Author's control:
- Monitoring the execution of project documentation:
- The author checks that construction work is being carried out in accordance with the design documentation. This includes compliance of the design with visual and technical requirements, correct selection of materials and compliance of the construction process with relevant codes.
- During the course of the project, the designer must ensure that the construction work is carried out in accordance with the dimensions, specifications and materials specified in the plans.
- Quality guarantee:
- One of the main goals of author's control is to maintain the quality of the project. This includes monitoring the quality of materials used in the construction process, the correctness of the work and compliance with the technical specifications of the project.
- The author checks the correctness of the materials used in construction, the construction and the work of the workers.
- Solving implementation issues:
- If any changes, inconsistencies or disputes arise during the construction process, the author tries to resolve these issues. Sometimes certain details of a project may need to be changed or redesigned.
- The author discusses any discrepancies with the relevant authorities and suggests any necessary corrections.
- Observations and checks during construction work:
- The author, as a designer, regularly visits the construction site and checks the execution. This is important to ensure that everything is done correctly at this stage.
- The author also evaluates all engineering work and structural changes at the construction site.
- Work control and reporting:
- The author provides regular reports on the progress of construction work. These reports cover both the financial aspects of the project and the progress of the work.
- The author also provides project updates to relevant law enforcement agencies and other interested parties.
- Safety and compliance with laws:
- Under the author's supervision, the implementation of the project must also comply with safety regulations and local legislation. The author ensures compliance with occupational safety requirements and other legal requirements in the construction industry.
- Preliminary reception and final reception:
- As individual stages of construction work are completed, the author conducts checks for temporary acceptance and makes recommendations for moving the project to the next stage.
- At the final stage, the author checks the correctness of all work and signs the final acceptance certificate.
Advantages of copyright control:
- Quality Improvement: The author monitors, ensures the quality of construction work and ensures compliance with regulations.
- Safety: Construction work is carried out correctly and safely.
- Time and Financial Management: The author can make necessary amendments and adjustments to ensure the work is completed on time and within budget.
- Traceability and Transparency: All information related to project execution is tracked, creating transparency and trust.
Areas where copyright control applies:
- New buildings. When constructing new buildings, design control is very important, since there can be large differences between the design and execution.
- Restoration and renovation work: In the renovation and renovation of existing buildings, the property is monitored in accordance with its previous condition.
- Infrastructure projects: When constructing roads, bridges and other engineering structures, designer's control is important both from the point of view of quality and safety.
