Technical supervision is an integral part of measures to control the construction at all stages. One of the most sought-after services in the construction industry is precisely technical supervision. The difference between technical and designer supervision is that it is carried out in the interests of the Construction Customer in order to ensure construction quality control
Technical supervision is carried out by the customer independently and (or) with the assistance of experts who have the appropriate certificate for the right to provide engineering services in the field of architectural, urban planning and construction activities, at the expense of the funds provided for in the design and estimate documentation for the construction of facilities in accordance with applicable standards.
Technical supervision is a set of expert verification activities, with the help of which the following is ensured:
- Proper quality and scope of construction work and their compliance with building codes;
- Compliance with the deadlines for the construction of civil and industrial facilities;
